If you’ve been looking for a lightweight carbon helmet that actually keeps you cool, keeps the dust out, and feels good on your head for long nights at the track, the Zamp RZ-67D Carbon is worth a close look.
In this article, we are going to walk you through exactly what’s new, how it feels, and whether it’s the right move for your 2026 season.
Right out of the box, this helmet looks sharp. We went with a large-weave carbon fiber shell that gives it a premium, aggressive look while keeping weight down. It’s available in gloss carbon, matte carbon, and some killer graphic options too.
The big story this year is the new 360° Dual Density Air Channeling system — we’re calling it DDAIR system. It’s designed to push fresh air all around the inside of the helmet so you stay cooler, even when it’s 90 degrees and dusty out there.
One of the first things to notice is how plush the interior feels. The liner is fire-retardant, super soft, and fully removable so you can wash it after a long weekend of racing. That’s huge if you’re running multiple nights in a row.
The fit is true to size, and the cheek pads give good support without feeling tight. Ear cups and pads are included to help cut down on noise, which is nice when you’re running open cockpit or in loud dirt cars. I’ve had it on for a while now and it hasn’t given me any hot spots or pressure points.
Let’s talk about the cooling. The new DDAIR system moves air through channels in the EPS liner and shell. Zamp kept the front vents minimal on purpose, to help keep dirt from blasting straight in, but the air still gets where it needs to go, especially around your face and the top of your head.
I did some testing in hot conditions, and it really does keep you cooler longer. If you’ve ever finished a feature soaking wet from sweat inside your helmet, you’ll appreciate this upgrade.
Dirt track racing means dust. A lot of it. That’s why Zamp added dual chin curtains: one on the top and one on the bottom of the chin bar. They do a really good job of sealing things off so less dirt and fog makes it inside.
Th RZ-67D uses the Z-20 Series anti-fog shield, has tear-off posts, and works well with the new air system. Between the curtains and the airflow, your vision stays clearer for longer, which is a big safety plus when you’re racing wheel-to-wheel.
The large-weave carbon shell keeps this helmet light without cutting corners on protection. It’s Snell SA2025 rated, so it meets the latest safety standards and should be good through 2035 for most series.
The RZ67D helmet as a duckbill spoiler in the chin bar, that helps with stability at speed. The aerodynamics feel improved over previous models — less buffeting when you’re running wide open. There’s even a hydration port in the chin bar if you want to run a drink tube.
M6 inserts are ready if you’re using a head and neck restraint, and radio gear integrates nicely into the cheek liner area.

What I really like:
A couple small things to know:
This helmet is made for serious dirt track racers who want comfort, cooling, and real dust protection without going full custom. Whether you’re running weekly at your local track or chasing bigger series, the RZ-67D is built to handle it.
I’m genuinely impressed with how this helmet turned out. The new air system, the dust protection, the comfort, and the lightweight carbon build all come together really well. It feels like a meaningful step forward from previous Zamp dirt helmets.
If you’re in the market for a new Snell SA2025 dirt track racing helmet and you want something that actually performs on hot, dusty nights, the Zamp RZ-67D Carbon is worth trying on. I think a lot of you are going to really like it.
