Zeta III® Helmet Liner for the HGU-56P


Oregon Aero Zeta III Helmet Liners
The Zeta III has been approved for use in HGU-56P helmets by PM Air Warrior.

The Zeta III Helmet Liner for the HGU-56P was designed for maximum comfort, protection, and helmet stability. Self-wicking outer fabric dissipates perspiration keeping your head cooler and drier. The Zeta III is easy to fit, install, maintain, and is equally effective while wearing Night Vision or other externally mounted equipment. The Zeta III has an upgraded foam core and offers the same level of comfort and performance as the original ZetaLiner® Helmet Liner.

Choosing the Right Zeta III Liner for your Helmet


The Zeta III is available in 3 different thicknesses for each helmet size. The thickness you need is determined by the number of layers in your existing Thermoplastic(TPL®) Liner.

NOTE: If your TPL(Thermo Plastic Liner) has been heated and fitted, you will probably need a Zeta III Helmet Liner one thickness thinner than listed below.
