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!
