About this file
This document is a product specification sheet for the Gentex SPH-5 Rotary Wing Aircrew Helmet System. The SPH-5 is a versatile, lightweight composite helmet designed for emergency medical personnel, firefighters, government agencies, and commercial pilots. The system features a strong composite shell with a polystyrene Energy Absorbing Liner (EAL) providing impact resistance of 300 Gs (cold) and 400 Gs (hot), a washable Gentex Thermoplastic Liner (TPL) or optional Super Comfort Liner (SCL) for customized fit, and rubber edge beading on the periphery. The helmet incorporates a yoke-style retention system with hook and pile closure, adjustable nape strap, front/rear/center straps with triple eyelets, and chin strap, available in double D-ring or quick-disconnect snap configurations, both withstanding 300 lbs pull strength testing.
The SPH-5 accommodates versatile accessory configurations including single or lightweight dual visor systems with clear and neutral gray polycarbonate options, all meeting MIL-V-43511 performance requirements and MIL-C-83409 abrasion-resistant coating standards. Optional upgrades include laser visors, high contrast visors, and gradient visors for specific mission requirements. Standard communication components comprise a boom-mounted adjustable microphone, swivel assembly, dual earphones, communications cord, and microphone cord, with compatibility for the Communications Ear Plug (CEP) and optional flex boom microphone. The helmet features contoured plastic ear-cup assemblies with cushioned ear seals for superior sound attenuation. An optional custom-designed Maxillofacial Shield (MFS) provides lower facial protection from rotor wash, flying debris, and windblast during helicopter operations. Gentex's authorized distributor is Transaero.

Strong, Lightweight Shell and Liner The strong, lightweight composite shell and polystyrene Energy Absorbing Liner (EAL) molded to conform to the inside of the helmet shell provides impact resistance of 300 Gs (cold) and 400 Gs (hot). In addition to a rugged exterior that has rubber edge beading on the periphery, a washable helmet comfort liner—the Gentex Thermoplastic Liner (TPL®)—optimizes overall head fit and comfort, and features special fastener strips for easy installation and removal. For added comfort, the Super Comfort Liner (SCL) is also available, which has a thicker, plush cloth cover. Both preformed TPL’s and SCL’s fit most head shapes within a given size, and if necessary, they can be heat-softened and custom fitted.
Stabilizing Retention System Provides Optimum Fit and Protection Using a hook and pile closure at the nape for individual sizing; an adjustable nape strap; front, rear and center straps with triple eyelets for vertical adjustment of the ear cups; and a chin strap, the yoke-style retention system stabilizes the helmet. The system is available in double D-ring or as a quick-disconnect (snap), both withstanding a pull strength test of 300 lbs.

KEY FEATURES CONTINUED
SPH-5
Versatile Visor Systems The SPH-5 Helmet is available with a single or lightweight dual visor system that protects the eyes from glare, wind, and dust, and features clear and neutral gray (sunshade) polycarbonate visors. An optional dual visor system is also available with a quick disconnect device for the Gentex ANVIS-6 Night Vision Goggle mount. For particularly demanding mission requirements, laser visors, high contrast visors, and gradient visors can be included as upgrades to improve protection and visual acuity day, night or in inclement weather conditions. Every Gentex visor meets all the performance requirements of MIL-V-43511, and has an abrasion-resistant coating on the front and back surfaces in accordance with MIL-C-83409.
Advanced Communication Components Come Standard The helmet comes standard with a boom-mounted adjustable microphone, in addition to a swivel assembly, dual earphones, a communications cord, and a microphone cord. The SPH-5 is also compatible with the Communications Ear Plug (CEP) and a flex boom microphone is available as an upgrade.
Superb Sound Attenuation For maximum sound attenuation and comfort, the contoured plastic ear-cup assemblies have a cushioned ear seal with a raised inner ring, which reduces the transmitted force while screening out excessive noise levels that can impair hearing.
Custom-Designed Maxillofacial Shield A Maxillofacial Shield (MFS) designed specifically for the SPH-5 is also available to provide lower facial protection from rotor wash, flying debris, and windblast during helicopter operations.
