For Solar X 2, there are two versions of the polycarbonate outer shell, one larger for the sizes 60 and 61, and a smaller version for sizes 54-59. It is important to choose the correct version. If you are in doubt whether to opt for the larger helmet with size 60, or the smaller helmet with size 59, we recommend choosing the larger version.
EN 966 certification. Outer shell edging finish We have improved the finish of Solar X 2 by developing a method of sewing a fabric strip around the edge of the outer shell, instead of the conventional rubber edging strip. The result...
Coolmax, which increases comfort by wicking perspiration away from the head and enabling it to evaporate rapidly, keeping you cool and dry. Every Solar X 2 helmet has a label that guarantees the use of this famous new textile, which is also soft to touch and so makes the helmet even more comfortable.
Vents The vents provide internal ventilation and air circulation. Solar X 2 has vents on the outer shell which correspond to channels between the outer shell and the polystyrene inner shell. These provide internal aeration, optimizing comfort and temperature in flight.
31/03/22 SolarX2EN1 Sidepieces Solar X 2 has sidepieces in stainless steel wire coated in plastic. This strong, robust arrangement is unique to Icaro2000. Micrometric chin strap The chinstrap is released by pulling up the red tab. It can be regulated with millimetric precision...
When the visor is lifted completely, it is entirely outside the field of vision. Ear defenders or electronic headsets Headsets are mandatory for Solar X 2’s EN 966 certification. We supply the helmet with the best ear defenders available on the market, mounting them to perfection. The system is very practical, because the ear cups can be flipped upwards or sideways quickly and easily.
If you already have your own headset and you wish to use it with our Solar X 2 helmet, we suggest sending us the headset so that we can fit it perfectly to the helmet. If you are unsure whether your headset can be used with Solar X 2, please write to us at staff@icaro2000.com...
Icaro 2000 – Exclusive Sports Helmets Page #11/ Solar X 2 owner’s manual 31/03/22 SolarX2EN1 Colours: One of the advantages of using polycarbonate for the outer shell is the fact that it offers great freedom in the graphic design and colours used for its surface finish. But this flexibility also means that it is difficult to maintain an identical colour in successive production runs.
Solar X 2’s internal Coolmax cap can be removed and replaced for washing or for varying the helmet size. The cap is fixed to the polystyrene inner shell by means of a series of Velcro strips. It is easy to remove. Just ensure that you detach the Velcro strips by holding and pulling the strips themselves.
Icaro 2000 – Exclusive Sports Helmets Page #13/ Solar X 2 owner’s manual 31/03/22 SolarX2EN1 Unscrew and remove the two pinlock screws that determine the visor’s travel between the open and closed positions. Unscrew the two lateral fixing screws. When the first screw has almost been completely unscrewed, be careful not to lose the rubber O-ring, positioned inside the aluminium, and the Mylar washers between the visor and the outer shell.
