HELICOPTER HELMET

Consumers Beware of Deceptive Practices!
Helmets
Some important issues to consider BEFORE your helmet purchase:
Is this a "new" helmet? Refurbished? Surplus that has been modified?
Has the shell composite passed all safety tests?
Are the Impact test results readily available?
Do the visors, impact liner & chin strap meet industry standard with supporting test results?

There are Helicopter Helmet suppliers that sell "cloned", in-house, imitation Helicopter Helmets such as the SPH-4B model. These Helmets may not be originally manufactured by Gentex Corporation, may not have an OEM Crash Rating and are being "passed off" as an approved and safe Helmet as specified in the ALSE Handbook for an OEM SP4B Helmet.

Communications
Don't be fooled by "Bargains"
Other sellers of MSA Gallet Helmets with communications try to compete by offering the least expensive communications they can acquire from vendors, many of which originate overseas. Tiger's Helmet Communications are MADE IN THE USA and have been inspected and approved by MSA for use in their helmets! With over 12 years of experience with in-house configurations by a staff of highly skilled technicians, backed with our 5 year warranty on materials and workmanship, we care about the quality of products wearing our label. See for yourself!
