Hang Gliding, Paragliding, and other extreme sports are dangerous.  Helmets provide a degree of protection, but nothing is 100 percent when engaged in sports.  Icaro 2000 helmets, hang gliders, and related products are manufactured in Italy.  

As extreme sports enthusiasts we know the importance of a good helmet and field tested equipment. Our helmets are EN (European Union Standard) certified for their applicable sport, rigorously tested to meet the applicable EN certification, and are now available for purchase in the U.S.

The European Union (EU) has sport specific helmet certification standards. Each sport has its own characteristics; therefore, the design of the corresponding helmet is specifically tailored to their relevant EU safety requirements. This includes EN 966 for free flight sports such as hang gliding and paragliding; and EN 1077 for snow sports. All Icaro2000 helmets are tested and certified by CSI, an independent testing company recognized and authorized by the EU. All Icaro2000 helmets are designed and manufactured in Italy.
