The facepiece is constructed from elastomer for durability and a secure facial fit, and features a threaded cartridge connection that accepts compatible filter cartridges for a range of hazard types. The 2-point suspension system distributes weight evenly and helps maintain seal integrity during extended wear.

The threaded cartridge connection supports a wide range of compatible cartridges and filters.
