The Special Operations Headset Adaptable Helmet (SOHAH) by GENTEX is designed to be worn over headsets with large sound attenuating ear cups that cannot be worn in combination with PASGT and Tactical Ballistic Helmet-II (TBH-II™) style helmets or the Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH).

The helmet is for use by the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force and other military or government agencies. It is available in sizes small and medium/large. A shell choice of a non-ballistic fiberglass bump protection, ballistic when tested in accordance with MIL-STD 662 with a 17-grain fragmentation simulator projectile the helmet has a v50 1400 feet per second velocity, or a ballistic value of v50 2150 feet per secondwhich also meets Level IIIA 9 mm projectile.

The helmet shell is available in: Black, Green 383, Olive Drab, UN Blue, Desert Tan , U.S. Army ACU and an orange with reflective tape for search and rescue missions. For addtional information and part numbers, click on Operator's Manual TP0266.

The SOHAH, also referred to as the GT-SC132, incorporates a variable thickness pad suspension system with split crown pads that can be separated to allow an over-the-head headband of a headset to be worn between the pads to prevent pressure on the head. The pads contained in the adjustable suspension system can be positioned by the wearer for maximum stability and comfort.

The helmet's retention system is designed to withstand a 150 pound load to prevent inadvertent release. It attaches at four points to the shell for improved stability and provides for multiple adjustments to accommodate various ear cup shapes. The front hanger straps can be released so they can be positioned between a boom microphone, if one is on the headset, and the wearer to prevent the microphone from being pressed against the face. The retentions are available in Green 383 or Black webbing.

The ballistic helmet shells have a textured surface, and can be pre-drilled for a Night Vision Goggle Bracket. The shell inside surface contains hook tapes that hold the pad suspension in place. The shell edge is protected with rubber beading.

The SOHAH can be worn with EPS-21™ or BOA® Goggles, as well as GenComm-III™ or General Duty Headset (GDH). Click on reference above for more information about the SOHAH helmet.

Helmet covers are available in Woodland camo, Desert camo, White, Black, Army ACU, USAF ABU, USCG Blue and Bright orange with reflective tape. For all part numbers and available options, click on part numbers tab above.
