How Do I Get A Kit?  [Donate?]

Folks: Please remember that you are REQUESTING, not ordering, an upgrade kit.

Click here to request an upgrade kit

If others in your unit need the helmet upgrade, send us the number needed (there is a field for this in the form) and a person's name and address to receive/distribute rather than sending multiple requests, please.  


To purchase directly from the manufacturer please go to http://www.oregonaero.com/p81_2001.html  Make sure that you ask for the military or law enforcement discount, if applicable.

For our friends from the great white north


Even with some rather large donations recently, we have had far more requests than funds available to provide helmet upgrade kits to all who ask. Deployment of reserve units, especially, have tasked us to the max. With our supporters, we have distributed over 37,000 upgrade kits to our great troops.

We have established a 'waiting list' for those asking for the helmet upgrade. Where possible, we send 'bulk' supplies of the kits to senior members (usually NCO's) of units. The men in charge of assigning duties are the best qualified to distribute the kits to those most likely to encounter the IED's and other form of blasts being hurled the way of our troops day in and day out.

Some enterprising troops have mobilized friends, family, businesses to make 'dedicated' contributions to ensure they, their unit or their service branch receive the helmet upgrades.  We appreciate that most families who make a 'dedicated' contribution add whatever they can afford to help us provide the kits for troopers other than their own. We honor all 'dedicated' donations.

If you have loved ones who need a helmet upgrade kit for their PASGT or Marine LWH or simply are looking for a way to help, click here to contribute.
