Ohh,

Do Icaros use the hard foam like bike helmets?

CasterTown · 10-03-2008, 08:03 PM

yes, just a bit less of it (thinner all around).

Not sure if it would be a good idea to buy a used helmet off of eBay... You don't know what it's been exposed to over the two years (at least) that he's owned it. It could have been sitting in a garage exposed to all kinds of stuff. He said that he's been redesigning his house which means he was probably painting a lot. If he was painting, that means there were probably quite of paint fumes all over his house and we all know what paint fumes do to foam. I personally wouldn't buy a used helmet unless I knew and trusted the person I was buying it from.

Hell maybe I'm just looking too much into it. I'd rather save my skull though.

Many Canadians out west have compromised charly shells.
They are all satisfied of its performance.

If you really want people's opinions on paragliding helmets, search for it. There are tons of threads on this. We don't need another.

Yeah, but many of those opinions came from people who haven't used/seen paragliding helmets.
