McLaren Pit Crew Helmets

Originally designed in 1998, these carbon fibre pit crew helmets). Using internal components from Carerra, Kenwood and later Oakley these are the envy of the pit lane. A mechanic has to wear head gear for 2hrs and this design is half the weight of a race helmet despite being designed and drawn up in three days!

The chin protection area houses a microphone, with the radio lead exiting over the shoulder away from arms and chest.

Vodafone McLaren Mercedes still use these helmets today, nine years after their debut!
