UTV Air Pumper Kits & Helmet Fresh-Air Systems
Shop UTV air pumper kits and helmet fresh-air systems for one, two or four riders. Compare Rugged Radios MAC Air bundles, packages with wired MRC or Bell helmets, and the hoses, filters, mounts and connectors that keep your setup working.
Already have compatible forced-air helmets? Start with a pumper bundle. Need helmets too? Choose a package that explicitly includes them. A wired helmet provides audio wiring; it does not include the vehicle's radio or intercom.
Find the right air pumper kit
| Your starting point | Compare | Check before ordering |
|---|---|---|
| Two riders with compatible helmets | MAC Air 2-person bundle | Two hoses, controller, mount and helmet inlet compatibility; helmets are separate |
| Four riders with compatible helmets | MAC Air 4-person bundle | Four hose routes and rear-seat reach; helmets are separate |
| Two riders starting without helmets | MAC Air + two wired MRC EVO helmets | Each rider's helmet size, mid-air hose routing and separate intercom equipment |
| Prefer a top-air helmet package | MAC Air + two wired Bell Qualifier helmets | Overhead hose clearance, helmet sizes and selected wiring option |
| Replacing a blower or maintaining a system | Pumper-only units, filters, hoses and connectors below | Exact pumper model and connection type; an individual part is not a complete kit |

Check helmet connections and installation space
Match the helmet's approved air inlet to the hose and any quick-release adapter. Top-air and mid-air layouts need different clearance around the roof, seat and headrest. Measure the full hose route with the rider seated and leave room for head movement and entry or exit. Universal pumper mounts still need to match your tubing and available space.
For an MRC Stage One EVO, check the threaded mid-air connection before choosing a MagLock helmet-side adapter. An adapter for a different inlet should not be assumed compatible.
Filters, hoses and controls for your current system
- MAC Air filter kits: match the filter to your pumper model.
- Expandable helmet air hoses: choose length around the actual route.
- Complete rocker speed-controller kit: distinguish a complete harness from a switch-only upgrade.
- MagLock air connectors: check both the helmet-side and hose-side components.
Helmet air pumper questions
Do air pumper kits include helmets?
Not always. The MAC Air two- and four-person pumper bundles are different from RAD packages that include two helmets. Read the selected product's included-components list before ordering.
Should I choose a two-person or four-person system?
Choose around the number of helmet connections you intend to use, then check hose reach and mounting space. A four-seat UTV does not automatically require four outlets when only two riders need helmet air.
Is a helmet air pumper an air conditioner?
No. It moves filtered ambient air into a compatible helmet. It does not refrigerate the air, and these recreational systems should not be treated as certified respirators or protection from exhaust gases.
Does helmet air include communication?
No. Air hoses and audio cables serve different functions. Browse UTV radios and intercoms for a separate compatible communication setup.
Can I use any helmet?
Use a helmet designed for forced air with a manufacturer-approved inlet. Check fit, certification and intended use separately; adding a pumper does not change the helmet's certification.
Explore MRC helmets, Pyrotect helmets and the full Rugged Radios collection. For help narrowing down a package, send RAD your UTV model, rider count, helmet model and existing communication equipment.
Measure Before Selecting a Cage Mount
Use the UTV roll-cage tube diameter guide to measure the planned mounting point. Check blower clearance, hose length and cable routing with the riders seated. If changing cab coverage, review windshield and roof options so the combined installation leaves service access.
