The HGU-84 helicopter helmet was developed by Gentex for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. Its rigid Graphlon® composite shell is pressure-molded laminated graphite and ballistic nylon. It is a lightweight, low profile, compact design. The HGU-84’s frontal opening is cut back for maximum peripheral vision. Its genuine sheepskin edgeroll covers a soft foam core around the entire edge of the shell. The lightweight, tapered earcups, cushioned earseals, and spacer pads provide excellent sound attenuation.
A half-inch thick styrofoam energy-absorbing liner provides impact protection and a preformed Super Comfort Liner assures a comfortable, stable fit. Its unique one-piece integrated chin-and-nape strap is threaded through the helmet and adjusts to provide a snug, stable fit.
This HGU-84 helmet comes equipped with a dual bungee visor system. (Single Lens Bungee Visor is shown in the image). Standard color is white.
Gentex’s HGU-84/P is approved by the United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, Office of Aviation Services, and the United States Forest Service for use in helicopters.
