A truly unique mask, the M50 was developed for the US Government to address the requirements of the Joint Service General Purpose Mask (JSGPM) program. It brings a new dimension to respirator design, comfort and protection. The M50 will be going into operational service with all 4 US forces in 2007.

FM50

The most striking features of the FM50 are the wide single visor and the slim twin filters. The wide visor offers superior field of vision over traditional respirators, enhancing greatly the compatibility with weapons and sights. The FM50 twin filter conformal system has set a new standard in filter design. Sitting close against the face, they provide the operational user with high protection and very low breathing resistance, also distributing the weight better so making the mask much more comfortable to wear. Due to a self seal valve, filters can be changed without the need to hold your breath and so the contamination risk is greatly reduced.

In addition to the above the FM50 is a highly featured mask:

• Chlorobutyl rubber and silicone blend gives the mask a high degree of flexibility and comfort for extended use.
• Excellent demisting qualities and re breathed air reduced due to superior internal air flow management system
• Hydration facility which can connect to canteen or bladder system
• Anti scratch and impact resistant visor
• 3 different visor outserts to adapt the mask to your operational situation
• 3 sizes to fit the majority of face sizes
• High protection factor
• Standard electrical pass-through offering connectivity with communications systems via an internal microphone.
