Scott British Army MoD General Service Gas Mask CBRN Respirator (GSR)
Product Code: AAAGAS-249
Our Price: $599.95
Description
In developing the General Service Respirator (GSR) for the UK MoD, Scott have assessed every element of military respirator design and developed new features to provide an unparalleled suite of technology to:
*Minimise burden on the wearer
*Ensure integration with the widest range of equipment to maintain operational capability in a CBRN environment
*Provide the highest levels of protection Scott GSR technology is equally suited to single or twin filter respirators.
The UK MoD have selected a twin filter design for a combination of reasons, including:
*Balanced design - decreases user burden
*Superior integration capability - maximizes operational capability
*Simplified and safer filter changing procedures - increases wearer confidence Scott GSR technology is equally suited to single or twin filter respirators.
Two CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear) Filters included - expiration 2025.
User may install either one or two filters.
Best In Class protection factors for the wearer - significantly higher than the industrial norm:
Twin filter system can be modified, in the field to be compatible with Stanag 4155/ Din 40mm threaded filters allowing filter interoperability
Low breathing resistances - At least 30% lower than the industry norm.
High Drinking rate - typically 3-4 times better than in service products currently.
Visual indicators on twin filters show used/ unused filters.
A single flexible lens that offers a wide field of vision with 100% lateral vision, downwards vision greater than 60% and binocular vision in excess of 65%
Excellent integration with sighting systems, night vision goggles and other associated equipments.
"Not only does GSR provide protection to previously unprecedented levels, it also
offers significantly reduced physiological burden to the user, better field of view and easier communication." . . . Phil Strudley, CBRN Team Leader
Features
- Filters: The GSR embodies new particulate media to maximise protection against nuclear, biological and radiological threats. Following the most extensive technical assessment of vapour and gas filter media filter, GSR technology offers protection against both Chemical Warfare Agents and Toxic Industrial Chemicals (CWA and TIC's). The non-round shape of GSR filters provides superior integration.
- Exhalation valves: Scott's patented in-line dual exhalation valve technology provides ultra low resistance in combination with the highest levels of protection.
- Filter Connections: Two wearing positions maximise equipment integration and leak tight connections to simplify filter changing. The filter connection also incorporates a capability to provide interoperability with other nations' filters, as required by international performance standards.
- Human factors integration: The single-piece wraparound visor, the high fluid intake capability, the interface with Individual Protection Equipment (IPE), the speech transmission system and the head harness design combine to provide a comfortable, low burden design that is preferred by wearers.
- Face Sealing: Designs A new multiple edge primary seal, Scott's patented secondary in-line filtration technology and a unique design of fully sealing oronasal mask combine to provide groundbreaking levels of protection in combination with the highest levels of wearer comfort.
- Two CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear) Filters included - expiration 2025. User may install either one or two filters.
