Charly Insider Full Face Helmet

The Charly Insider Helmet manufactured by Finsterwalder of Germany. The helmet features a woven glass / kevlar shell, full face protection, high quality three coat lacquer finish, and is very light weight (24 ounces).

The Insider has a very comfortable, semi-streamlined shape with excellent peripheral vision and will accommodate glasses or goggles. It is also very easy to adapt for installation of a radio headset. The Insider helmet is tested and certified to CEN Standard EN 966, which is a European testing standard specifically designed for helmets used for sport aviation. This standard includes tests for shock absorption, penetration resistance, and specifications for visibility and head mobility.

The helmet uses a highly effective shock absorbent foam to achieve the European Standard EN966 - Hang Gliding and Paragliding Helmet Certification - with extraordinarily light weight and minimal size. The helmet features a removable chin guard, which is designed to protect the pilot when towing from the danger of injury from the tow line resulting from a release under high tension and subsequent recoil of the tow line and release.

Adding a radio headset to the Insider helmet is especially easy. The lining in the chin guard and near the right ear is removable, so the wires and parts can be routed behind it, and there is an opening in the center of the helmet chin guard lining for a microphone. Once your headset is installed, or if no headset will be installed, the lining can be secured more firmly with hotglue or some other adhesive, if desired.

Icaro SkyRunner

The SKYRUNNER is the "creme of the crop" when it comes to helmets made for hang gliding and paragliding. With every attention given to detail, this helmet has non- alergenic velour lining. The earholes are covered with a special noise reduction disc that's designed to let you hear the wind without the "whistle". Certified to the same European CE966 standard that ALL Icaro helmets are cerified to, this helmet might cost more - but it's "stylin". Available with or without a visor in either pearl white or carbon optic finishes.

Icaro Skyrunner Plus

The Skyrunner PLUS is Icaro's "economy" helmet. Finished in lovely white only, the helmet is available with or without a visor. Certified to the same European CE 966 standard as ALL of the Icaro Helmets, this helmet is made to fit almost anyone's budget. Sizes: Small - Xtra Large
