TOPTEX helmets are the rarest and the most sought after pilot's helmets. These helmets were used by many of the flight test pilots of the 60s & 70s. They were produced on demand and customized to the pilot's needs.
The initial helmet design evolved along the years and this one corresponds to the latest standard and was manufactured in 1981 by PROTECTION INC. in California.
This one is named to: NIMS D.
