Versatility of mounting brackets

For the diver that demands the rigorously tested, best selling larger shell of the Kirby Morgan® 37 coupled with the versatility of mounting brackets and port side cheek weight, the SuperLite® 17C is the ideal fit.

It features fiberglass and carbon fiber reinforced shell. The Quad-Valve™ exhaust system, which retrofits to most previous Kirby Morgan® Helmets, has less breathing resistance than the older single valve exhaust while providing an extremely dry hat. The 455 Balanced Regulator regulator featured on the SuperLite® 17C is an all stainless steel regulator with superior breathing performance.

The Helmet Shell is hand laid up glass fiber reinforced thermal setting polyester (fiberglass) with carbon fiber reinforcement at key points for added durability. It is light and highly impact resistant, and provides a heat/cold barrier as well as being an excellent electrical nonconductor. Kirby Morgan® has over 50 years experience in composite laminations.
