| The HGU-55/E is identical to the standard HGU-55 except that a protective visor assembly replaces the bungee visor. Its protective visor housing allows easy movement of the impact-resistant polycarbonate lens and locks the lens securely up or down. A size large HGU-55/E with super comfort liner, earphones, communications cord, and oxygen mask receivers weight is only 37-ounces (1,048 grams). Helmets include a fitted leather edgeroll, comfortable leather earpads, and leather chin and nape strap pads.
HGU-55 helmets are lightweight helmets designed for the g forces encountered in high-performance, fixed-wing, jet aircraft. Choose the helmet type, liner system, color, and communications you need.
All helmets are new, not surplus or reconditioned

| Custom Fit Liners |

|
| Custom fit helmet liners are
leather covered urethane foam. They are
made from a wax mold of your head. The
helmet will precisely fit your head and
face. We will send you a fitting kit that
includes a wax mold and instructions. You
can fit the mold to your head and return
it. We guarantee that your helmet will
fit. The $40 cost of the kit will be
refunded when you order your helmet. |
