Carrying Bag
The carrying bag is made of PVC coated nylon. This is coloured for high visibility and is both flame retardant and chemical splash resistant. There is an anti-static option for working in potentially explosive atmospheres and this is made of polyurethane. The bag can be worn across the chest, as a bandolier or worn with an optional waist belt.
Hood
The constant flow hood is manufactured from polyurethane coated viscose. This is flame retardant and coloured for high visibility. This provides a stretch material for a comfortable fit combined with an elastomeric neck seal giving ease of donning over spectacles, beards and long hair. The optionally clear bubble visor is made from polyurethane. The mask has an exhale valve for increased performance and a compact ¼ mask reduced rebreathed CO2 levels.
