Core offering

Tiger Performance Products is a specialty e-commerce retailer and authorized North American distributor of aviation and marine safety equipment. The company sells flight helmets (MSA Gallet, Icaro, Petzl), helmet-mounted communication systems (Tiger PNR, ANR, wireless transceivers, BOSE A30 and David Clark integrations), emergency breathing systems for aviation and marine use, marine racing helmets, waterproof intercoms, VHF radios, and related parts and accessories, alongside flight helmet refurbishment and DOI/USFS certification upgrade services.

Product overview

Tiger Performance Products is a specialized distributor and integrator of aviation and marine safety and communication equipment, headquartered in West Seneca, New York. The product portfolio is organized around two core verticals — Aviation and Marine — and is built on a platform-plus-modules model: the company sources helmets and hardware from third-party manufacturers (MSA Gallet, Icaro, Petzl, DTG, Stilo) and layers its own communication, safety, and support services on top. In Aviation, the core offerings include MSA Gallet flight helmets (in LH050, LH250, LH350, and LA100 models, including DOI/USFS-certified variants), Icaro and Petzl tactical/EMS/SAR helmets, TIGER-branded aviation headsets (offering PNR and ANR noise reduction), BOSE A30 and David Clark DC ONE-X communication integrations, Emergency Breathing Systems (EBS), helmet cooling and hydration accessories, and flight helmet refurbishment/upgrade services. In Marine, the portfolio includes DTG and Stilo marine racing helmets, Icaro marine boat crew/SAR helmets, Tiger digital waterproof intercom systems (2–8 station wired and wireless), ICOM marine VHF transceivers, emergency breathing systems (Series 3000 and 4500), and marine racing safety products including harnesses, capsule suits, HANS devices, and life jackets. All product lines are supported by a parts and accessories catalog covering helmet components, communication parts, marine parts, and respirator masks.
