PURSUIT Next Generation Fixed Wing Helmet

Lighter. Stronger. Built for every mission.

As the world-leading provider of advanced headborne protection, we know that helmets are more than just equipment—they are essential to mission success and directly impact aircrew comfort, focus, and long-term health. But advances in technology like NVGs and HMDs mean added weight and strain on the modern pilot. That’s why we developed PURSUIT: to reduce weight, enhance comfort, and eliminate compromises, ensuring aircrew are equipped for today’s missions and ready for the future.

The PURSUIT Advantage

Lightweight, adaptable, and mission-ready, the PURSUIT helmet delivers unmatched comfort and performance in a single, modular system that provides aircrew the ability to adapt to various mission requirements without sacrificing protection or performance and eliminates the need for multiple helmets, which means reduced cost, less gear to manage, and increased aircrew readiness and combat effectiveness.

Designed for Comfort. Built for Performance.

  • Lightweight Carbon Shell reduces neck and spine strain, significantly lowering the risk of short and long-term injuries from prolonged missions and high-G maneuvers.
  • Enhanced ventilation system prevents heat buildup and fire-resistant, moisture-wicking, high-performance comfort pads increase aircrew comfort and mission readiness during long-duration flights.
  • Optimized balance and center of gravity, as well as its enhanced nape design, provide aircrew with a secure, stable fit that keeps the helmet in place during dynamic maneuvering in all HMD/NVG configurations.
  • Four helmet sizes to deliver an optimal, out-of-the-box fit for more than 99% of aircrew, ensuring exceptional comfort and performance.

Mission-Ready and Future-Proof

For more than 75 years, Gentex has set the standard in aircrew protection, delivering combat-proven innovation to those who serve. The PURSUIT next generation fixed wing helmet isn’t just a helmet—it’s a tactical advantage.
