The DesignIcaro 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, offering excellent vision and a high level of safety. Even though its volume is appreciable, this helmet is visually lightened by an exciting design that minimizes the lateral projections, inside which are the best Peltor Optime III earphones. |

Certification E.N. 966The Omega 2 has been tested by the italian laboratory Newton and recognized and certified by the TUV Rheinland.
All our helmets are designed especially for free flight and micro light pilots, in accordance with the European standards (EN 966). 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. You can read the complete test report here (pdf 2,1 mb) 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 II |

Introduction to ICE electronicsWith the Omega 2 Icaro launches its new in-helmet electronic systems for radio communications.
For years, we have been in contact with a friend of ours, the engineer Ralph Chester, who was formerly a pilot in the Royal Air Force. Ralph has a company, Comunica, that manufactures state-of-the-art electronic systems for radio communications. We have invited Comunica, with their 25 years experience making leading helmet and headset electronics for sport and professional aircraft, to design a new communications range, of the very highest quality, to complement our family of sport and professional flying helmets: “ICE” = Icaro Comunica Electronics….. The ICE design philosophy is simple: To select the world’s very best components (ear defence, microphones, earphones, controls, cables and connectors, radios etc) to build your equipment, with cost a secondary consideration. |
