The U.S.N. HGU-33/P flight helmet was designed as lightweight replacement to the APH-6 series. The HGU-33/P is based on the PRK-37/P shell assembly constructed of fiberglass cloth molded with epoxy resin. A foam edge roll around the periphery is covered in black leather. The standard HGU-33/P uses the VTEC form fit liner and the EEK-4 A/P visor assembly. The helmet incorporates the communication system with H-87B/U earphones and external oxygen mask receivers.
