Maxillofacial Shield
An optional upgrade to Gentex’s HGU-56/P or HGU-84/P helmets,
the MaxilloFacial Shield (MFS) by Gentex safeguards the lower
face from rotor wash, flying debris and windblast during helicopter
operations. The protective shield attaches to the helmet with a
complete installation kit, and provides superb protection for the
lower face and substantially improves voice communications
by reducing wind noise across the microphone(s).
