Back to Top ^ PRG Wins $2M BLSS Kit Contract
August, 2005 – A $2.2 million contract was awarded to PRG to supply Ballistic Liner Suspension Systems (BLSS™ Kits) for the PASGT helmet to the Oregon and California Army National Guard. The contract to supply 22,077 kits was fulfilled nearly six weeks ahead of schedule.
BLSS™ Kit:
U.S. troops confirm that the Oregon Aero BLSS™ Kit is a dramatic improvement for the military PASGT helmet. The BLSS™ Kit is installed without helmet modifications, and includes an innovative four-point chin strap/harness with nape pad and seven highly engineered pads that replace the standard issue PASGT helmet webbing system. The pads can be re-arranged to accommodate equipment such as gas masks.
Test data show that with the BLSS™ Kit, helmet shock transmission is reduced to below injury level. Always stable, even with externally mounted equipment, the BLSS™ Kit is pain-free, no matter how long it’s worn. The visco-elastic, temperature and pressure sensitive padding system removes all pressure points. The BLSS™ Kit is cooler because of the liner pads’ air permeable, proprietary coating and a self-wicking fabric that draws heat and perspiration away from the scalp. Positively buoyant, the helmet is safer in amphibious and water-fording situations.
- The standard BLSS™ Kit (part #95040-4) fits the XS, S, M & L Helmet, the XL BLSS™ Kit (part #95041-4) fits the XL helmet. Available in Tan, Green or Black chinstrap.
- You can find the BLSS™ Kit on Potomac River Group’s GSA Schedule GS-07F-5489R, or call to order at 703.771.3003.
