Technical Data (Index)
The Design
Designed by Ignazio Bernardi, with the technical consultancy from the greatest Italian helmet developer the Solar X has a very modern look. Reduced Width of the HelmetThe advantage of a reduced width of the helmet are evident: less weight and less resistance to the air. The disadvantage: if there is only one dimension of the shell like in this helmet, the maximum size is XL (61 cm of head circumference) Polycarbonate Shell The 3mm thickness polycarbonate shell has the advantage to be very light but still very strong. Polystyrene reinforced
The polystyrene is reinforced with one more layer of polycarbonate to achieve thehard penetration test of the E.N. 966 certification. Between the shell and the polystyrene there are 2 channels with their wholes for the air flow. Visor Options 2 types: Transparent, Brown Tint 2 sizes: Long or Short, (We recommend theLong Visor for Comms Microphones in a non enclosed cockpit enviroment) Airflow Inside the Helmet You can open or close the entrance of the air into the helmet just with one hand and while you are flying Sizes: The are 3 variable, available sizes with a wheel regulator for a perfect fit of the head circumference from 53cm to 61cm. 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 3 internal paddings are adapted to the 3 sizes determined by the wheel regulator situated in the back of the helmet. They can be replaced by larger or smaller padding pieces included the wheel regulator, thus varying the helmet size. You just choose your own size of ICARO tailored inner helmet lining for a safe, perfectly comfortable head fit…. It can be changed in moments in case a different size is needed. 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. Covering Shell Edge
For the first time we don't use the normal rubber to cover the edge of the shell
We found the method to stich a strip of fabric around all the helmet The result is just unique and beautiful. Plastic-Coated Stainless Steel Wire Side Pieces and Micrometric Chin Strap Certification E.N. 966
The Nerv (Solar X) has been tested by the italian laboratory Newton a company authorized by the
Italian Ministry of Transport and recognized by the German TUV. All our helmets are designed especially for free flight and micro light pilots, in accordance with the European standards (EN 966). Our helmets were designed and built specifically to be as light as possible. However they optimize safety for hang glider, paraglider and micro light pilots, as shown by the information above. Weight
For EN 966 certification you MUST Choose a headset or ear cups from the
drop down box above at time of ordering to accompany this helmet. Solar X - The helmet used by the pilots of Solar Impulse 2 |
