-Angel- Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Gentex HGU-56P with a maxillo-facial shield "Recently the US military has adopted the most current rotary-wing flight helmets for front line use. The HGU-56/P has become the standard issue helmet for the US Army, US Air Force and for helicopter pilots within the US Coast Guard. The 56 is made from lightweight composites that bring the lightest weight to the wearer and offer the optimal protestion from impact damage. The 56 comes with a variety of accessories to further enhance the helmet system. The maxillofacial shield is one such piece that allows for overall lower face protection from blast and debris while also blocking ambient noise for normal communications in high noise level enviroments."

Samm Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 It does make you wonder whether or not designers of military hardware play computer games Link to post Share on other sites
-Angel- Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Cheers bud, great stuff. No worries I've been drooling over flight helmets recently, and the 56 & shield about as badass as rotary helmets get. Link to post Share on other sites

The Waco Kid Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 There are a LOT of places in the US that do good quality custom paint jobs on Flight helmets, they have been at for years. Quite often with more imagination than you see on bike lids too. Link to post Share on other sites
Furey Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 i half expect to see one with 'stringfellow hawk' on the name patch. Link to post Share on other sites
ianhaz Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I wonder how easy it would be to make one of those fight helmet style motorbike helmets look like one of these..mmm Link to post Share on other sites
Furey Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 it would be a great match, but a bike helmet at a skirmish would mist up real bad. they are already quite prone to it when you've got airflow over it on a bike. Link to post Share on other sites
