The original Icaro helmet

The SkyRider is the first and original Icaro helmet for the paramotor and micro light pilots.

It has been copied many times by other manufacturers.

6
The visor (optional)

3 colors: transparent, tinted brown, mirror.

(attention: the mirror visor is very delicate)

Sizes

  • 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.

4
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:
some of our dealers buy this helmet with fixed sizes where you can't remove the internal padding.

5
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.

Plastic-coated stainless steel wire sidepieces and micrometric chin strap

Ear cups and headsets

We use only the finest Peltor-brand headsets, and we mount them perfectly onto the helmet.
We can apply the electronic apparatus for any type of radio equipment, including the professional headsets used by the Swiss aerial rescue service with our Rega helmet. For further information, go to our electronic headsets page.

Once the headsets are fixed with our 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 or dealers already have their own headset and they wish to use them with a new helmet, we suggest to send us the headset so that we 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, please send us a mail to staff@icaro2000.com

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! See our page about headsets.


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 our 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).

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

About ordering helmets online

The size of a helmet is always described by the inner circumference of the internal padding.
Nearly all our helmets have internal padding that can be replaced by different sizes of padding, to increase or decrease the overall helmet size.
Only the models Cut3, SkyRunner and Kusna have fixed padding sizes.

If the helmet that you buy has the interchangeable internal padding and is not a perfect fit, we will send new padding components free of charge, regardless of where you buy the helmet. Just send a mail to staff@icaro2000.com

Special information's for Paramotor & Microlight pilots helmets

We sell all helmets for paramotor & microlight pilots with ear cups Peltor OP II just to filter out engine noise.
The ear cups are included in the price of the helmet.

If you wish to buy an electronic headset at order time we will reduce the price of any electronic headsest by € 25.- that represents the value of the ear cups. We will assemble the electronic headset perfectly to the helmet.

We sell only headsets designed to be fixed to the shell of our helmets.
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! See our page about headsets.

Air band radios: due to the growing commercial airplane traffic, today in many countries the free airspace is shrinking and you need to communicate with the air controllers. For this reason we recommend to buy or to use radios with aviation air bands.

Radio Connectors: today there are so many types of radio equipment on the market that we are unable to continuously stock all headsets with the suitable radio connector.
For this reason, please allow us 2-3 weeks delivery time so that we can send you the headset with the right radio connector.
We will inform you by e-mail should there be any delay.

View the exact radio connectors suitable for nearly all radios. If you have any doubts about the exact connector or radio type, please write us a mail.

F.A.Q.   Frequently asked questions

  • Is there any chance for you to send me the ordered item as a gift ? I think this way I won´t pay the local taxes.
     
    • It is not so safe to send the goods as a gift.
      For example the brasilian customs is really very severe in this matter.
      Some years ago we sent a helmet to Brazil as gift. The customs opened the parcel, they visited our web site, they found the helmet name and they asked the customer to pay the local taxes referring to the price there was on our web site.

  • Can you send the ordered item with a lower invoice?
     
    • Sorry, no
      In Italy we are obliged to issue the invoice with the real value.
      In any case it would be dangerous also for you in your country.
      If the customs checks on our website the real price of the ordered item you could incur a heavy fine.

The names and the logos Icaro, Icaro 2000 & 4fight are registrated trade marks
      For all of us at Icaro 2000, the name “4fight” has nothing to do with war.
In fact, we believe in peace and in man’s wellbeing. That is why we started manufacturing helmets for the protection of those who take part in extreme sports.
For us, “4fight” refers to the struggle with fear that we all go through at moments in which we accept a challenge.
An internal fight towards self-improvement and the attainment of seemingly impossible goals.
Our company is committed to continuously improving the safety, comfort and design of our products.
Therefore we reserve the right to modify the characteristics in any way, without any prior notice.
