KM17C SuperLite Commercial Diving Helmet
The Kirby Morgan® SuperLite® 17C is the ultimate helmet for professional divers who demand the best features from both the classic SuperLite and the robust KMB 37 models. It combines the highly popular, larger shell of the Kirby Morgan 37 with the versatility of an over-the-shoulder side block and the unique port side cheek weight mounting bracket. This design provides exceptional balance and a more spacious fit, without sacrificing the helmet's legendary reliability.
Like other Kirby Morgan helmets, the 17C features a durable fiberglass and carbon fiber reinforced shell that is lightweight, highly impact-resistant, and provides excellent thermal and electrical insulation. It comes equipped with the proven SuperFlow® 350 Regulator, which offers outstanding breathing characteristics across a wide range of depths. Additionally, the helmet’s Quad-Valve™ Exhaust System significantly reduces breathing resistance and keeps the helmet interior dry. For divers who require the ruggedness of the KMB 37 shell with the operational flexibility of the SuperLite series, the 17C is the ideal choice.
