Hey, thank you everone for your responses and sorry for responding so late. I'm leaning towards buying the Icaro TZ helmet right now (only read good about them and it seems like you get alot of helmet for your money) with the Loescher LUH-1 radio + 3,5mm-cable integrated in the radio cable so it would be possible to connect a MP3-player etc. I have one question about getting a visor. My instructor told me that he didn't like the visors he had on his helmets (not Icaro-helmets) as he experienced some kind of uncomfortable air pressure between the visor and face. Do any of you have experience with visors? If so, do you have similar experiences as my instructor or does/did it work well with your helmet? I live in the north of Sweden and it gets really cold at winter (around -35* C) so a visor would be great when flying in cold weather. Again, appreciate your help.

Hello! I just got my paramotorcertificate and had some questions regarding what helmet to get. I only got a skiing helmet (during the course I got to borrow my instructors helmet with a radio), and was wondering if that would be enough (if I bought a headset and radio for it) or if I should buy a "real" paramotor-helmet? Appreciate your help and input.

Hey everyone, thank you for your help! It looks like it would be a manageable annual cost (especially if it's possible to keep it at the cost-level that you do morgy). I know that this is will vary alot and might now be possible to answer, but does a paramotor often require expensive repairs (if I as recommended by you research different paramotors and choose one that doesn't break up to much)? Is it like an old car that can break down now and then? Is the construction somewhat simple so that it's possible to do smaller repairs by yourself?

Hello! I've considered beginning paragliding and possibly later on powered paragliding for a few years now but haven't pulled the trigger because of the starting costs. I've now saved up enough to get a paramotor and a license if I want to, but before I start I would like to know what annual costs I can expect. If I'm not mistaken, it's the glider that cost the most per year (a glider lasts for about 250 hours in-air right?)? Appreciate your help
