Designed as a cutting edge wearer protective system, the GENTEX HGU-55CE and HHGU-55/ helmets are available in
two configurations to suit a full range of High-G mission needs.
The
lightweight standard versions are constructed of a Graphite/Aramid shell
which reduces head-borne weight while maintaining strength. For
high-performance maneuvers up to +9 Gs and to help prevent G-induced
loss of consciousness (GLOC), the Gentex HGU-55CE lightweight aircrew helmet is the standard USAF and for some FMS users .
This
technologically advanced system provides pilots with a decisive edge in
combat by reducing fatigue, so they may perform more high-G missions per
day without compromising performance. In addition we supply helmet parts and accessories .
The HGU-55CE is standard supplied with Gentex MBU-23/P Oxygen Mask equipped with PADD( Passive Anti Drowning Device ) along with two visors one of which anti laser . The helmet ,mask , visors and PADD requires US Export License all at one or separetely .
Thehelmet is supplied only in color grey in Medium and Large sizes only . Also available along with this helmet also ANVIS-9and NVG
A
soft leather edge rollcovers an open cell foam core around the entire
periphery of the shell for a comfortable fit, and reduces the amount of
noise that enters the helmet. Visor buffers and bump stops are cemented
to the shell to provide for stowing of the visor and to protect the
shell surface during visor operation.

A Combat Edge field-modification bladder kit is an option offered by Gentex
to integrate theHGU-55/P with the crew Combat Edge pressure
breathing for G system (PP&G), which is used to reduce the probability of
G-induced loss of consciousness (GLOC) during high performance flight.
It utilizes a urethane-coated nylon bladder installed between the
Memory Liner or XLiner and the energy-absorbing liner in
the rear of the helmet.
A PBG feed tube connects the bladder to the
unit's quick-disconnect mounted on the exterior shell of the helmet and
interfaces with the PBG supply hose and connector from theMBU-20/PorMBU-23/P
Oxygen Masks. The bladder inflates to provide automatic mask tensioning
at high G.The HGU-55CE is available only on limited basis .
