Selected by the UK Design Council as a Millennium Product,
The Contour incorporates innovation and creativity in design and
application, maintaining Sabre’s reputation for being at the forefront
of breathing apparatus design and manufacture for over 30 years.
Providing operational flexibility and upgrade-ability, the Contour
features exceptional levels of comfort, reliability and maintainability.
With both the single cylinder Contour 300 and the twin cylinder
capable Contour 500 versions, Sabre has a breathing apparatus to
meet the professionals’ most exacting requirements, which reflects
Sabre’s stated philosophy to produce equipment customers wear by
choice, not just necessity.
BACKPLATE
AND
HARNESS
At the heart of the Sabre
Contour is the lightweight
composite backplate. The
ergonomic shape provides
optimal load distribution
and balance, with minimal
profile to allow ease of
movement. As well as
the pivoting side arms
providing excellent lateral
support, the backplate is
designed to flex, providing
a high degree of mobility.
The impact resistant
polyamide composite
material is both anti-static
and non-conductive.
The Contour 300 backplate
features a single
cylinder retainer, whereas
the Contour 500 model
has a second support to
allow twin cylinder use in
conjunction with a high
pressure manifold.
The fully adjustable
100% Kevlar cylinder band
features a unique over
centre catch with a safety
locking feature.
Uniquely, the hoses
are channelled along the
inside of the backplate
to prevent damage and
minimise snag hazards.
The Sabre Contour 300
and 500 both feature a
harness constructed from
Kevlar/Nomex materials
and feature closed cell
foam padding. Both backplates
utilise materials that
exceed the heat and flame
requirements of NFPA
1981, as well as EN137
Class 3.
The Contour 500
harness features a fulllength
backpad as
standard, as well as wraparound
hose retainers.
These facilitate the
attachment of the latest
electronic systems and
simplify the removal of the
pneumatic assembly.
PNEUMATICS
The proven pneumatic
system features a simple
and fail safe spring loaded
piston reducer, containing
only seven components
including an internal
pressure relief valve.
Fully user serviceable,
it offers low service and
maintenance costs.
The reducer incorporates
a protected medium
pressure port allowing
the connection of airline
decontamination or RSM
attachments.
All hose connections
feature Sabre’s U-clip/O-ring
design, offering reliable and
simple maintenance.
Different high and medium
pressure connections
ensure foolproof assembly.
Contour 500 apparatus
feature an additional high
pressure port to accept fast
fill charging or to facilitate
the integration of electronic
monitoring systems.
The shoulder mounted
robust, luminous pressure
gauge and whistle features
swivel hose fittings for easy
wearer access.

FACEMASKS
The Contour is available
with the full range of Sabre
masks, including the latest
Vision 3 or traditional
PanaSeal and PanaVisor
types. All masks are
constructed from nondermatitic
silicone,
Neoprene or TPE materials.
Coated polycarbonate
visors provide resistance to
most common chemicals
and provide facial impact
protection. Suitable for use
with the latest low-profile
helmets, both elasticated
net harnesses or integrated helmet clamps are also
available.
All Sabre masks feature
a low profile, bayonet
side fitting connecting the
demand valve for superior
verbal communication. The
Vision mask’s unique shape
also provides excellent
peripheral vision.
DEMAND VALVE
The Tempest automatic
positive pressure
demand valve is a further
development of the ultracompact
design, pioneered
by Sabre. It features low
breathing resistance and
unsurpassed dynamic
response, combined with
peak flow performance in
excess of 600 litres/minute.
As well as first breath
actuation and a hands-free
bypass facility, the valve
features a unique, fail-safe
servo-mechanism.
In common with all
Sabre’s pneumatic systems,
the Tempest provides the
benefits of full user
servicing with proven
reliability and low
through-life costs.
