Gentex visor lenses are designed to seamlessly fit with the
STEP-IN® and all our visor assemblies. Compatible visor
assemblies are
available for all of our aircrew helmet systems.
Gentex helmet systems
also come with a visor housing, which
protects visors from damage from
scratches and flying debris,
provides the means to adjust visor positions, and
provides a
stable platform for the mounting of Night Vision Goggles.
The
STEP-IN provides eye protection and allows proper eye relief
while using Night Vision Goggles (NVGs). Its contoured shape and
finished edge conform to the
helmet-shell edge rather than suspending
over the front of its shell, creating
a fit that’s closer to the face than
other visors. STEP-IN visors can be used
with the Gentex HGU-55/P,
HGU-68/Pand the HGU-84/P Helmet Systems to provide
eye
protection while also allowing the use of NVGs and HMDs.
Optional
upgrade to Gentex HGU-55/P, HGU-68/P or HGU-84/P
