Italian Design
Design
The Rollbar Plus has been designed by Ignazio Bernardi, with the technical consultancy from the greatest Italian helmet developer.
The result is a helmet with an exclusive modern look.
Shell made of strong fiber glass layers
Rollbar Plus, a helmet built using the same technology as in military applications, including high-modulus glass fibre or full carbon and high-density Polystyrene to guarantee the highest possible standards of safety.
Double Visor
- Short visor
When closed, the brown-tinted visor is integrated and protected inside the helmet, between the fiberglass shell and the polystyrene.
You can open or close the visor with the black button on the top of the helmet, just with one hand and while you are flying.
Easy to change just with one screw.
- Long visor
The long transparent visor gives you great visibility both open and closed.
It can be easely locked onto the Rollbar, thus avoiding that it opens at high velocities.
Moreover the strong visor helps to protect the face like an integral helmet.
Rollbar and Turboskip
The Rollbar, has the function to protect the chin with a titanium-anodized aluminium tube.
Icaro 2000 is a company committed to ongoing product research and development. For this reason, following requests by many pilots and dealers for a full-face Microlight helmet with built-in headsets, we opted for a different solution: the first helmet with a rollbar, offering excellent vision and a high level of safety.
This helmet, with its exciting, high-tech design, is hallmarked by its most distinctive feature, the rollbar, which guarantees protection for the lower part of the face without reducing field of vision.
The helmet is built using highly reliable materials and modern components. In particular, the rollbar, in high-performance aluminium, is highlighted by its titanium-colour anodized finish, which enhances the unit’s visual appearance.
In flight, the sensation provided by Rollbar Plus is that of a full-face helmet, but with improved vision and with an excellent protection against the cold.
The turbo skip avoids that the air flow can enter from the under side of the helmet and create annoying turbolences between the eyes and the visor.
It is fixed on the rollbar and can easyly be replaced.
Polystyrene
The polystyrene is very thick to achieve the hard penetration test of the E.N. 966 certification.
Airflow inside the helmet
Big wholes allow a perfect inside ventilation
Sizes and interchangeable internal padding
This helmet has a fixed luxury internal padding that can be replaced by larger or smaller one, 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.
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.
There are 5 internal padding for the sizes:
- 56 (S)
- 58 (M)
- 60 (L)
- 62 (XL)
- 64 (XXL)
Steel wire sidepieces with luxury chin strap
The stainless steel wire sidepieces are plastic-coated.
You can easily adjust them with a allen key (supplied with the helmet)
The system is a registered model.
We are the only usig this unique solution.
The strap is millimeter adjustable
Ear defenders or electronic 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 Solar Impulse 2 and the Swiss aerial rescue service with our Rega helmet.
For further information, go to our electronic headsets page.
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.
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 headsets fixed to the helmetÂ
- 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 are designed especially for free flight and micro light pilots, in accordance with the European standards (EN 966).
The Rollbar Plus has all the same parts as our model Rega plus the long visor.
Therefore the certification is the same of the helmet Rega.
The Rega II has been tested by the italian laboratory Newton and the certification has been issued by the SNCH Luxembourg
Look at the complete Certification
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.
For more information about the E.N. 966 test please read our page About safety
Look also at our very interesting video we made during the EN 966 test of the helmet Rega.
Weights
- Helmet full carbon: grams 950 +/- grams 50 including the visors
- Helmet fiber glass: grams 1.100 +/- grams 50 including the visors
- Ear defendeers Peltor Op II. grams 230 just to filter out engine noise
- Electronic Headsets with cable: grams 390
The weight of a fiber glass helmet has a tolerance of +/- 50 grams due to the glue applied and to the thickness of the fiber glass layers.
