 Full facemask

The X-plore 5500 full facemask has three sealing edges that ensure a secure fit for almost all face shapes. The comfortable five-point harness prevents the development of pressure points and allows the mask to seal evenly around the face. Additionally, the swept-back positioning of the twin filters and wide panoramic lens offer an almost natural field of vision.

   Particulate respirator 

PeakFit is an N95 particulate respirator engineered for user comfort and safety. Its large, contoured shape helps make breathing easier and the molded nose bridge fits most faces, with no metal nosepiece to pinch.

 Respirator 

The Survivair Opti-Fit convertible, full-facepiece respirator is lightweight and constructed to reduce head and neck stress.

A molded-in speaking diaphragm provides improved audio transmission for communication. It is available in three sizes to fit almost any face shape.
