Here is a full breakdown of one of our best-selling helmets — the Zamp RZ-38 Racing Helmet. This SA2025 rated racing helmet is built for open-cockpit asphalt drivers who need to stay cool when the heat is on.

Sleek Aerodynamic Design That Keeps You Locked In

Right out of the box, you'll notice the smaller duck bill on the chin bar. Zamp designed it this way for better aerodynamics at high speeds. In an open cockpit, that extra lift can push your helmet up and back. The RZ-38's shape fights that, keeping the helmet sitting right where it should — down toward your chest and stable on your head.

Z-20 Clear Shield + Easy Tear-Off Setup

Every Zamp RZ-38 comes with the Z-20 clear shield installed.

If you run tear-offs, you'll love the adjustable tension posts. They accept both 12-inch and 8-inch banana-style tear-offs, so you can keep your vision crystal clear lap after lap without any hassle.

Pre-Drilled for Any Head and Neck Restraint

Safety first — this helmet is fully M6 clipped with pre-drilled terminals hiding under the plugs. Whether you're running a HANS device or any other head neck restraint on the market, it fits perfectly. No drilling, no guessing — just plug and play.

Stay Cool with Smart Venting and Optional Top Air

Zamp-Racing built the RZ-38 helmet for drivers who hate getting cooked inside their helmet. It has solid venting built right in. Even better, it's top-air ready. Add our optional top air accessory and you've got forced air cooling that makes a huge difference on hot race days.

Removable, Washable Liners for a Custom Fit

Comfort matters. The RZ-38 uses the 29-series cheek pads and crown liner. You can pull them out in seconds, throw them in the wash, and have a fresh helmet every weekend. Want an even better fit? Swap in a different size cheek pad or crown liner — it's that easy to customize.

Matte Black or Gloss White — Pick Your Style

Choose between a sleek matte black or clean gloss white finish. The Zamp RZ-38 is offered in a wide range of sizes so every driver can find their perfect fit. It's a true mid-level Zamp Helmet that punches above its weight for serious asphalt racers.

Why the Zamp RZ-38 Is a Smart Choice for Asphalt Racers

If you're an auto racer who wants a dependable, comfortable, and safe racing helmet without spending top-tier money, the Zamp RZ-38 is hard to beat. It's SA2025 certified, packed with features drivers actually use, and designed to keep you cool and focused when it counts.
