The RaceQuip OF25 in gloss white, Small (MPN 257112) is an open-face racing helmet with a Snell SA2025 rating, and the Snell SA2025 open face helmet is accepted for competition use through 2035. The shell is a hand-laid FRP composite paired with an EPS impact-absorbing liner, which is the construction behind the lightweight-but-strong claim. Against a cheaper, older-standard lid, the SA2025 rating is the reason to spend more: it keeps the helmet usable at sanctioned drag, HPDE, and autocross events for years rather than forcing an early replacement. Searchers looking for an SA2025 open face helmet for HANS use, a Small white RaceQuip helmet, or a drag racing and HPDE lid will find this build matches those needs.
Open-face design gives this helmet a practical edge for drivers who wear glasses, goggles, or a radio. Top exhaust vents improve airflow and driver comfort, and the interior is a comfort fit blended Nomex fire-retardant interior. The Small size falls in the 21 5/8 to 22 1/16 inch range, or 55 to 56 cm, with a hat size of about 6 7/8 to 7. For fitting, the manufacturer says to measure with a cloth tape around the head about 1" above eyebrows, and to tighten the chin strap before evaluating fit. Owners on user forums also commonly weigh head-sock thickness when sizing, so check your sock before ordering.
Yes. The manufacturer lists reinforced M6 inserts pre-installed in the shell for HANS and head-and-neck restraint compatibility, so you don't need to drill or tap the helmet.
The manufacturer's sizing guidance is to measure about one inch above the eyebrows, take several readings, and use the largest. It also recommends measuring in centimeters for accuracy and adding about 1 to 1.5 cm if you wear a head sock.
Because the helmet ships with its M6 inserts already in place, there is no drilling or tapping; the install is mainly fitting the helmet and attaching your restraint anchors. Confirm that your HANS or HNR posts are included or purchase them separately, since the included hardware for this exact model has not been verified here. Install the posts to the M6 threads on the outside of the shell using the manufacturer's bolts and torque specification, and check that the restraint's tether sits correctly against the helmet before each session. Owners on user forums commonly advise test-fitting the restraint in the helmet before your first race day.
