Can’t go wrong with an HGU-55 with all the Oregon Aero goodies.

Flight helmet.com can put a Bose A20 in that helmet as well.
Awesome upgrade!

Thanks for the recommendation. I have an old HGU-55/p. However, it’s not set up for civilian aircraft.

Easy fix. You just need a boom mic with a bayonet adapter, and a set of earphones with the proper impedance.

What type of aircraft? If in a Pitts or Xtra - soft type head cover which accommodates Clarke or Bose. Don’t have to worry about scratching the canopy.

True. Also, parachute? No parachute?

definitely a parachute. This will be for a tandem seat warbird. I’m narrowing down exactly what I will be flying, but starting to investigate all the other costs to include helmet, parachute, etc.
