The Solar X 2 has been designed by Ignazio Bernardi, with the technical consultancy from the greatest Italian helmet developer.The result is a helmet with a very modern look.
The 2 pilots pilots Piccard and Borschberg of the Solar Impulse 2 have chosen this helmet because it is light, solid, reliable and it has the certification EN 966. We are very proud to have contributed to this incredible mission, so we called the helmet "SOLAR X" in honor of this unique adventure.
- Shell made of strong polycarbonate: The 3 mm 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 the hard 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 - 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
- Visor: The visor is an option. It is made of polycarbonate with anti-scratch and anti-fog treatment. 2 types are available: Short, tranparent and tinted brown. Long, tranparent, tinted brown and mirror
- Sizes: There are 3 available sizes with wheel regulator for a perfect fit of the head circumference from 53 cm to 61 cm. 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 determinated 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.
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
- Steel wire sidepieces: The stainless steel wire sidepieces are plastic-coated.
- Micrometric chin strap: The chin strap is millimetrical adjustable.
- Ear defenders or electronic headsets: The Solar X 2 helmet is certified only with attached ear defenders or electronic headsets. You can choose from our wide range of elechtronics and we mount them perfectly onto the helmet. The advantages of wearing a headset fixed to the helmet.
- the ear cups can be flipped upwards 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: Ear defenders, or alternatively electronic headsets fixed to the helmet, are mandatory for EN 966 certification. The Solar X 2 is certified only with attached ear defenders or electronic headsets.
The Solar X 2 has been tested by the italian laboratory Newton a company authorized by the Italian Ministry of Transport. All our helmets are designed especially for free flight and micro light pilots, in accordance with the European standards (EN 966). - Weights:
