Pro Copter & Rega II

This helmet is used by the medical staff who have to rescue injured people. They are inside the helicopter or on the outside winch. So they never receive a horizontal air flow directly from the front, but only from above.
As the visor is very short, it is not suitable for pilots flying powered paraglider or open microlights. In such craft, the airflow reaching the pilot causes uncomfortable turbulence between the visor and the eyes.

The Rega II was designed by Ignazio Bernardi, with technical consultancy from Italy’s most important helmet developer.
The result is a helmet with an exclusive, modern look.

The Pro Copter helmet is built using the same technology as in military applications including high-modulus full carbon or glass fibres in order to guarantee the highest possible safety standards.

When closed, the transparent or brown-tinted visor is integrated and protected inside the helmet, between the fibreglass shell and the polystyrene layer. You can open or close the visor with the black button on the top of the helmet, just with one hand and while you are flying.
Easy to change just with one screw.

The polystyrene layer is very thick, in order to comply with the demanding penetration test that is part of E.N. 966 certification.

Large holes ensure perfect internal ventilation

This helmet has fixed internal comfort padding that can be replaced by larger or smaller-sized padding, thus varying the helmet size.

If the helmet is not a perfect fit, we can send new padding free of charge, irrespective of where you bought the helmet.

The helmet offers an important advantage: you can easily remove the padding and replace it with new padding, or simply wash and replace it.

The size of a helmet is always described by the inner circumference of the internal padding.
The size number therefore corresponds to the head circumference in centimetres.
There are 6 internal padding sets for the sizes:

• 54 (X Small)
• 56 (Small)
• 58 (Medium)
• 60 (Large)
• 62 (X Large)
• 63 (XX Large)

The stainless steel wire sidepieces are plastic-coated.

You can easily adjust them with an Allen key (supplied with the helmet)
The system is a registered model.
We are the only company that uses this unique arrangement.

The strap can be adjusted to millimetre precision.

When you are trying on a helmet whose shell has an opening in correspondence with the ears, because they are designed to be used with headsets (whether for noise reduction or radio communications), it is essential to fasten the chinstrap correctly and position the headphone cups (swing them down into the closed position) over the ears.
In fact, if these helmets are worn without headphones, a large portion of the contact surface, which contributes considerably to the helmet’s stability on the head, is missing.
So if you try on the helmet with the headphone cups in the open position, the helmet will feel unstable.

In addition, the headphones are part of the certification, and so a helmet of this type worn without headphones can be considered as not certified.
