Long duration protection, designed for you

Urban development has increasingly changed the scope and construction of today’s megacities. When fighting fires in high rises, tunnels or ships, long distances often have to be covered to reach the scene of the accident. Special tactics and equipment help facilitate those operations.

Perfectly made for long-duration deployment

To protect you better, the BG ProAir is designed with a positive pressure breathing circuit which prevents hazardous substances from entering the sealed breathing system. As you exhale, carbon dioxide is removed through a CO₂ absorber, and prior to inhalation, the air is cooled and enriched with oxygen at a constant rate.

Optionally, the oxygen can be dosed according to your work rate thus providing you with an even longer.
