How to clean a visor with anti-fog coating
Do not attempt to clean the inside of the visor by rubbing with any type of cloth.
Remove the visor from the helmet as described above. Prepare a
basin of warm water
with
one drop of
washing up liquid
mixed into it. Holding the visor by its edges, place it into the water and move it about gently
for less than one minute. Remove from the water, place on a surface and leave it to air dry.
Do not use a
cloth or towel to wipe the inside of the visor
. Once the visor is dry, its
outer surface
can be wiped with a
dry microfibre cloth. Never wipe the inner surface. No sprays, chemical or liquids should be used.
Important information
Pilots who are used to flying with just sunglasses or even with no eye protection at all
may take a few flights
to get accustomed to the visor.
If you don’t feel comfortable with the visor to start with, just lower and raise
the visor during your first flights with the helmet until you get used to it.
In conditions of high humidity and/or large temperature excursions, the visor may fog. On such occasions you
will immediately appreciate the difference between flying with sunglasses and with a visor: in the latter case,
you just have to open the visor slightly to obtain the complete clearance of any fogging.
Never fly without a helmet
o
Your life is too precious to risk losing it just because you have forgotten something.
Use only a helmet with EN certification
o
European EN certification was developed differently for all different activities to offer the best
possible protection
o
All our helmets are constructed in accordance with the regulations contained in the EN
standard
o
Never trust a helmet that has no label guaranteeing EN certification
We recommend the use of a full-face helmet
o
A full-face helmet offers improved protection in every situation.
Never modify your helmet for whatever reason
o
Modifications could reduce the level of protection, and could annul the helmet’s certification.
Never use headphones under the helmet
o
Any rigid components placed inside the helmet, between polystyrene lining and the head,
could become percussive and damaging elements.
Always ensure that the chin strap is tightly fastened
o
If you keep your helmet in the rucsac, don’t sit on it.
o
Ensure that the helmet never falls to the ground or the floor.
o
Handle the helmet and visor with great care at all times.
o
After an accident, even when the impact is minimal, the helmet should be replaced,
regardless of whether there is any visible damage or not.
Helmets and action cameras
Many pilots mount an action camera onto their helmets in order to record their adventures. It is
important to remember that
any object projecting for more than 5 mm above the level of the
outer shell annuls the helmet’s certification
, just as for any other modification that is not specified
in the user manual. The reason for this is that an object mounted onto the external shell could
become a percussive element that concentrates a percussive force onto a small area. Therefore, it is
