Haven't heard back from Peltor yet...
That does look like a good deal on the Gentex from Government Sales Inc.
Also worth asking if they can custom-fit the edge-roll for you - FlightSuits used to be able to do it if you sent them some basic measurements of your face (they used to have a process where by they sent you a kit to make a wax mould of your head, which you sent back to them. The moulds invariably broke in transit, so they gave up on the idea). The rest of the sizing for a custom fit involves different layers in the liners, but in my case I ended up ditching the stock Gentex liner and going with the Oregon Aero parts, which - at least back then - were far better than the Gentex ones. The part which really needs to be right at the time of manufacture is the edge-roll sizing.
