Purchasing a helmet is expensive, important, and typically a long-term commitment, so educating you first about the various options that are available which will work best in your environment is our first job. Once we have determined your needs, the second most important goal is your fit. Our helmets are a long-term investment since their shelf life exceeds our competition. Your Merit MSA helmet can last you more than 15 years as we have had helmets out there for two decades+. Unfortunately, today we have found many helmet users wearing helmets that are not comfortable. We have customers wearing our helmets for 12 or more hours a day. If your helmet is not comfortable, you are miserable at the end of the day. This is not acceptable for our Merit Helmet customers. This is why we have designed and instituted a helmet fitting system that assures our customers’ comfort even on long days.

Most Merit customers fly for a living, so selling you a helmet is only the first step in our relationship. We are here to support you for as long as you own your helmet and thereafter. This is why we keep the largest inventory of parts worldwide so we can ship parts quickly to keep you flying. Our company philosophy is to provide you with the safest product with ultimate satisfaction. Merit has emerged as ‘world renowned’ for our customer service and support in the aviation industry.

Merit is always evaluating new products to improve and expand our product line. If you are looking to purchase a helmet or refurb an existing MSA helmet, please contact us and join the ever-growing family of Happy Heads”.
