The Parts of a Helmet 

Many elements make up a helmet. Each specific part has a duty, whether it's to keep you safe or for added features that will make things easier for you to function. These parts include: 

  • Visors help protect your face and eyes. 
  • Helmet liners and ear seals provide added comfort and protection. 
  • Gradient lenses block sunlight, but allow the pilot to see controls below them. 
  • Pilot skull caps are placed under your helmet to absorb sweat and keep your helmet clean. 
  • Bluetooth adapters are Bluetooth transmitters that connect to your helmet head seat, allowing you to receive data and talk through them. 
  • Comm cords are connected to the craft's communications system, allowing the person wearing the helmet to hear and be heard.
  • Microphones allow the person wearing the helmet to hear without removing the helmet. 
  • Earphones also allow the person wearing the helmet to hear. 
  • MIC cables are used to connect from the main cord of the helmet to the microphone. 
  • An aircraft egress device is used to connect your helmet headset to airplanes or helicopters using a specific connector like U174 or TP 120.  

There are also field repair kits that you can purchase, which include assorted parts to repair your helmet if needed.
