In a nutshell, we can thank the USAF for most of the prevailing confusion! This tells us that the single visor (HGU-2A/P) and dual visor (HGU-26/P) helmets use the same basic shell: the HGU-22/P, also sometimes referred to as "quarter helmet assembly".

The HGU-22/P shell is constructed of fiberglass cloth reinforced with epoxy resin. This typology of helmet was adopted to provide a standardized helmet configuration for use by aircrew personnel in all types of aircraft.

After the introduction of the HGU-22/P helmet shell the HGU-2A/P nomenclature was used to signify a helmet based on the HGU-22/P shell fitted with a single visor and an H-154A/AIC headset. There is no military specification covering this configuration; reference is just made to the HGU-22/P specs.

The HGU-22/P is a quarter Shell assembly. Assigned 26 April 1968. The Mil-spec is MIL-H-83147. The HGU-22/P consists of the helmet shell, styrene liner, chin and nape strap.

First one is in my opinion a late contract HGU-2A/P (early 70's, based on a -22/P shell, headset not being spring-loaded anymore), but also might be an early single-visor HGU-26/P, for the polystyrene liner ...

This Flight Helmet uses an unissued HGU-22/P helmet shell, which would be an HGU-26/P helmet when fitted with a fixed dual visor assembly, but instead is configured to use the bungee visor from an HGU-55/P helmet. A popular alternative to the …

2022年8月14日 · Yes, if it's a "late" version HGU-2A/P (which is based on the -22/P shell, with one-piece styro liner and H-154A/AIC headset - quite the same as H-154 regarding earphones and cords, the main differences being the earcups of a different shape, and the lack of the spring-loaded metal arms of the first versions to have a lighter helmet).
