Designed by racers, the SauberLuft was developed from the need for clean air in long endurance races. With testing and use, however, it soon developed into a unit that significantly improves the performance of a driver even in sprint racing through active cooling of inlet air and filtering of dust and hydrocarbons.
Ten to 20 percent of body heat is radiated or evaporated through the head during exercise. Wearing a helmet blocks nearly all of this heat transfer and stops evaporative cooling. The SauberLuft forces air through your helmet, allowing your brain to work properly and improving the performance of your whole body. From $1,350 at time of publication.
