pinguinoj 0 #1 March 26, 2017 Hallo everybody first of all sorry for my bad english :-) i write this post and want to talk about Icaro Helmet, 4Fight Cut Skydiving Helmet. I found the homepage of icaro looking for an Helmet where i can wead Goggles: this one: http://www.icaro2000.com/Products/Helmets/SkyDive/SkyDive.htm, The price was 250€ inclusiv miniskirt. I sow the picture on the top and decide to call them and ask some more information, bacause i was reading here in dropzone.com an old post, and was not good for skydivingand the picture on theyr homepage doesnt look realistic.. ;-) I ask them: is that good for Skydiving? yes shure we made a few changes. Did the visier has a lock system? yes, there is. the helmet fit good? because is a little bit bigger from other skydiving helmet? Yes, and if it doesnt fit, we will send you for free a right internal padding. Are you shure doesnt come to much air under the helmet? You have to buy the miniskirt, so it will be no problem. So i decide for this price, must be good, bacause is also E.N.966 certificated, but for me was important that i have space for googles. I went back on the homepage, and i told my instructor to buy it for me. The price change after my phone, from 250 inclusiv miniskirt to 355 inclusiv miniskirt.... and he allready ordered...... Ok, i decide to wait for it because the price of skydiving helmet are like that, more or less.... I get the Helmet. ---The measurement i gave them, doesnt fit . the helmet is to large. --- the internal padding make my face red... dont know, could be my skin.... they told me is anallergyc.... --- the helmet lock system is nice one, but if i close strong to keep the helmet stay, i cannot brathe, go against my throat.And it stay under the miniskirt --- If you use the helmet without miniskirt, you will get to much air under it. --- the helmet lock system looks like it should be moved forward. ---the velcro that keep the cheek, is just fixed with glue, should be sewn it. So i decide to make some changes, bacause i like that helmet. I insert the miniskirt and the look system go outside, over the miniskirt and not inside, and move 3,5 cm the lock system forward, so i will get no pain on my throat and can good brathe I took the cheek padding out and cover it with another cotton cloth piece. the icaro 2000 send me bigger internal padding to fit the helmet. to fit the helmet i have to take 2 internal padding, one 48 and one 46, and sew them toghrter..... after that the helmet is perfect. i cut a little bit on the side the internal padding and make so a pocket to inser an audible. somebody buy it? did have to make some changes too or not? well, so how it is on the homepage, i think is not good for skydiving, you have to make some changes. in the picture you can se the change i made. The icaro 2000, was ready to change everithing i need, and they do it for me. Customer support is perfect. i still need a total new internal padding, because my skin burn when get contact with that material. If i will buy it again? Shure, but after a few changes.... changes that make the helmet confortables for skydiving. Hope helps and hope you understand it:-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
