RZ 42 Youth Green/Silver

The Zamp RZ-42Y CMR Youth Racing Helmet is a premium, safety-focused junior karting helmet designed specifically for young drivers competing in classes that require SNELL CMR2016 homologation. Lightweight, protective, and race-ready, it delivers adult-level performance in a youth-specific shell without the adult-level price tag.

Engineered for junior and youth kart racers up to the age of 15, the RZ-42Y features a smaller, lighter shell to ensure an optimal fit for developing drivers, helping to reduce fatigue while maintaining exceptional protection. It’s the perfect choice for parents and teams looking for a safe, affordable, and competition-legal youth helmet.

Constructed from a lightweight composite fibreglass and Kevlar blend, the RZ-42Y offers excellent impact protection while remaining comfortable over long stints on track. Multiple ventilation points – including top air intake and chin bar vents – ensure consistent airflow, keeping young drivers cool and focused during race conditions.

Inside, the helmet is finished with a plush, fire-retardant interior and a fully removable, washable comfort liner, making it easy to keep the helmet fresh, hygienic, and race-ready week after week.
