We can fit our Solar X 2 helmet with 

electronic headset systems

, including the professional 

headsets  used  by  the  Swiss  aerial  rescue  service 

Rega

.  For  further  information,  view  our

If you already have 

your own headset

 and you wish to use it with our Solar X 2 helmet, we 

suggest sending us the headset so that we can fit it perfectly to the helmet. If you are unsure 
whether  your  headset  can  be  used  with  Solar  X  2,  please  write  to  us  at 

[email protected]

o

 

Please note that this 

helmet should not be used

 with conventional 

head-arch headphones

worn under the helmet. In this case, your head would no longer be correctly protected.
