Visor
o
The visor is an optional accessory. It is made in polycarbonate with anti-scratch and anti-fog
surface treatment.
o
The visor is available in two types, each with different colours:
Short – transparent or tinted brown
Long – transparent, tinted brown, or mirror
The visor
not only
increases
the helmet's
passive safety
characteristics, but also its
active
safety,
by increasing the
width of the field of vision when compared to the use of any
type of sunglasses
.
Visor fixing system
o
In order to further increase safety for paraglider pilots, we have introduced a
new visor
fastening system
. It was essential to ensure that the aluminium disc does not project from
the outer shell by more than 5 mm, so that paraglider lines cannot get caught on the helmet.
o
This modification was also mandatory for EN 966 certification.
o
There is an
O-ring
inside the aluminium disc which provides the friction necessary to adjust
visor position continuously and smoothly.
o
When the visor is lifted completely, it is entirely outside the field of vision.
Ear defenders or electronic headsets
o
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. As
a result, you can hear normally even when wearing the helmet on the ground. When you are
in the air, you can ventilate your ears whenever you like.
