I have a new XL Arai SK-5 helmet that I want to sell.

It was used as a prop in a magazine photoshoot and has never seen any motor sport action whatsoever.

Would it be of any use to people needing helmets for track days or would it not pass regulations? I has a sticker on the back saying "not for road use" but I assume that means for bikes. It says "Snell K2005".

Just wondering whether to put up here or on a karting forum? I don't want to misadvertise it if it's not fit for purpose. It's of no use to me really and has been sat in the garage for 2yrs collecting dust.

Thanks for any help/advice,

Dave

Here it is though, I've photographed every marking on it:

Officially not allowed... but I have never seen helmets checked at Trackdays, so you probably would get away with it if you wanted to.

But for the sake of a few quid... I'd get the proper protection on my head.

OK, that's what I wanted to know.

I don't want to advertise it without being honest of it's suitability.

I'll advertise it as a karting helmet.

Many thanks

Dave
