The HGU-55/P Helmet was developed as a flexible platform and is available in two configurations to suit a wide range of high-G mission needs. This standard lightweight version consists of a Kevlar shell that reduces head borne weight while retaining strength. This Lightweight HGU-55/P Helmet is the standard for all USA for high-performance maneuvers of up to + 9 Gs and to help avoid G-induced loss of consciousness (GLOC). Air Force Aircrew F-15 and F-16. As a means of combating fatigue, this technically advanced device provides pilots with a decisive advantage in combat, so that they can perform more high-G missions every day without losing performance.

Protection & Stability

The Energy Absorbing Liner (EAL) provides the primary impact-absorbing medium in the HGU-55/P Helmet System with an energy-absorbing, expanded-polystyrene bead pressure molded to match shell dimensions. A one-piece strap assembly is threaded through the shell to ensure flexibility and retention, and adjustments at the chinstrap. Cross straps threaded through the nape-strap pad change to provide a snug but comfortable fit at the same time as the chin strap, particularly when night vision goggles or other head borne systems are attached.

Comfortable, Transparent Communications

Standard plastic ear cups in high-noise settings offer optimum noise attenuation, and optional leather-covered ear pads are available for even greater comfort. HGU-55/P Helmets for voice communications may be fitted with a boom microphone or corded to the oxygen-mask microphone.
