The M95 facepiece (which also functions as a stand alone non-powered respirator) gas mask has dual (left/right) filter ports, an integrated drinking capability & is made from a halo-butyl elastomer which has exceptional chemical resistance. Two premium M95 long-life NBC filters are included (this kit includes a spare filter, however, 2 spare filters are recommended).

An M95 specialized NBC resistant canteen is included for ingesting liquids/foods without removing the mask.

This kit includes an extremely durable CPF3 high-performance chemical suit which is ideal for domestic preparedness applications. The CPF3 is one of the best suits available & features taped seams, an attached respirator fit hood, booties & elastic wrists. As some emergency situations may require long-term outdoor/field use, this kit also includes a military (OD Green, unissued surplus) chemical suit at no extra charge. This exact design was used in the Persian Gulf by the U.S. military and is intended for use in extreme environments. The military chem. suit is an extremely durable, multi-layer design, made with a rip-stop nylon outer shell, a carbon core for absorption of contaminates & a breathable inner layer. The military chem suit & CPF3 are both designed to be worn over regular ‘street clothes’, including shoes (the military suit does not cover the shoe) & are easily donned in the event of an emergency.

Foot protection is provided by the SF Chem-Bio overshoes which meet ALL military specifications for combat use. The Chem-Bio overshoes have passed the strict military requirements for puncture resistance, durability, traction & protection against chemical & biological warfare agents. Hand protection is provided by a dual layer system: A military spec. butyl glove outer barrier (considered to be sufficient NBC protection without an inner glove) provides excellent chemical & puncture resistance. Plus, a Silver Shied glove is utilized as an inner layer. Silver Shield gloves are ultra-thin, only 4 mil thick, & are the most (chemical) permeation resistant gloves available today. This combination of inner & outer gloves provides the best possible hand protection & is recommended for use when working in extremely hazardous environments.

You have the equipment, but when is it time to ‘gear up’? This kit includes a full booklet (25 sheets) of M8 Chemical Agent Detection Paper. M8 paper is used to detect liquid chemical agents, mists, etc. The paper has an unlimited shelf-life when kept dry & detects nearly all forms of chemical agents by changing colors when agents are detected. M8 detection paper can distinguish between various agents by specific color changes, therefore indicating what protective measures should be taken. (ie. evacuation, donning protective wear, using specific antidotes, etc.)
