Italian design

Designed by Ignazio Bernardi, with technical consultancy from the greatest Italian helmet developer.


The visor (optional)

3 colors: transparent, tinted brown, mirror.

(attention: the mirror visor is very delicate)


Sizes

  • XSmall (cm 54)
  • Small (cm 56)
  • Medium (cm 58)
  • Large (cm 60)
  • Extralarge XL (cm 62)
  • XXL (cm 64)
The size of a helmet is always described by the inner circumference of the internal padding.

The size number therefore corresponds to the head circumference in centimetres.


Interchangeable internal padding

This helmet has internal padding that can be replaced by larger or smaller padding pieces, thus varying the helmet size.

If the helmet is not a perfect fit, we send a new padding free of charge, independently from where you bought the helmet.

The important advantage: you can easily remove the padding and replace it with a new one or just wash it.

Important:
most of our dealers buy this helmet with fixed sizes where you can't remove the internal padding.


One size fits all     (option at order time)

We suggest this solution only for those pilots who fly with different passengers with different sizes.

You can change the size very quickly and also very easily the transpirant paddings.

Please note that the interchangeable internal padding is more confortable.


Ear cups and headsets

Icaro use only the finest Peltor-brand headsets, and mount them perfectly onto the helmet.
They can apply the electronic apparatus for any type of radio equipment, including the professional headsets used by the Swiss aerial rescue service with There Rega helmet.

Once the headsets are fixed with icaro special screws onto the helmet and the polystirene is perfectly positioned in to the shell, it's nearly impossible to take it out again. It becomes also difficult to change the headset.
For this reason we recommend to decide at order time the appropriate headset.

If customers already have their own headset and they wish to use them with a new helmet, we suggest to send us the headset so that Icaro can fit it perfectly to the helmet. We will make up for not sending the noise-reduction headset (included in the price) by totally reimbursing the costs entailed in the despatch of your headset to our adress.
If you have any doubt about the application of the headset,

Then please Contact us

For safety reasons, we do not sell the helmet to pilots who wish to use a conventional arching headset worn under the helmet.
Your head would no longer be well protected!


The advantages of wearing a headset fixed to the helmet

  • the ear cups can be flipped upwards or aside quickly and easily
     
  • on the ground you can thus hear normally
     
  • in the air you can ventilate your ears whenever you like
     


Certification E.N. 966

All icaro helmets have been tested and certified by CSI, a company authorized by the Italian Ministry of Transport and recognized by the German TUV.

This company issues certification for all helmets manufactured in Italy, including ours, which are designed especially for free flight, in accordance with European standards (EN 966).

icaro helmets were designed and built specifically to be as light as possible. However they optimize safety for hang glider, paraglider and paramotor pilots, as shown by the information above.
