15 Minutes of Protection for Escape from Chemical and Biological Agents

The Drager DefendAIR is designed for protection against toxic gases (incl. nerve agents, blood agents, tear gas) that may be encountered by first responders, law enforcement or emergency response personnel.

The hood is easy and quick to don – especially in an emergency situation. Donning time is less than 10 seconds. (The hood can be worn even by those who wear glasses or have beards or long hair.)

A high level of communication is possible since there are no mouthbits or nose clips required. With an integrated half mask, the wearer can breathe and speak normally to provide life saving instructions required in these situations.

The hood is designed to provide maximum protection against the hazards by providing a protection factor of approx. 1000 and effective filtering capability plus protection from CO2 buildup.

Extensive testing such as shock and vibration, package impact tests, visor fogging tests, and temperature tests ensure that the DefendAIR is ready to use.
