Into This is the story how a bad experience can escape is always something good.
Into one of the two founders of the Vicenza, Alberto Brazzale, in 2008 he suffered a serious injury banging his head against the rocks while he was skiing with the result of fractured jaw, nose, cheekbones, eyebrows and larcata column skull. The hours spent immobilized and pain were immediately impressed long, so he decided to produce for themselves and for the Kastelaar, a case that was not only beautiful but more secure.
The collection is divided into three proposals, in which the two helmets peak, called Black Arrow (large photo) and Crazy Horse (below) are made entirely of carbon fiber. & # 8232, have been developed in a specialized laboratory where we study the helmets for some of the most famous ski champions of the World Cup.
A surprise are two figures:
impact resistance is twice that required by the rules of approval required by the CE-1077 Class A;
the materials used and some technologies are derived from a specialized field, such as the helicopter pilots and police officers in riot gear.
technologies most striking are derived from these worlds: the air inlets and outlets are made of steel with shatterproof Venturi effect, forced ventilation system, designed by the British military, which also gives an excellent level of noise inside the helmet .
The size adjustment, from 52 to 62, is carried out with a command micrometer adjustment quick-release locks mounted on the helmet with built-in mask.
And it is this device that most of all we want to try to verify the degree of comfort that can be achieved with a new method of adjustment.
At the aesthetic level, Black Bolt is characterized by feature carbon fiber, leather inserts and visor combined with hook-like jet pilots.
Crazy Horse, a tribute to Erwin Striker, however, is more youthful and aggressive, with more colored leather inserts on carbon fiber, with soft ears.
The third product, the most affordable and normal, Polaris, made of ABS with a matt finish, removable ear covers and bright colors.
