Scape Biochemical escape hood mask system for 3yrs to adult

Baby Scape hood is made for children under 3 years old

Scape and BabyScape Hood

The Scape and Baby Scape hoods represent the next generation of
gas masks. These gas masks give a new meaning to the word "user friendly".

Traditional gas masks employ face seals to protect the wearer, require
multiple sizes to fit the wearer population, require extensive training, do not
fit children or infants, and are ineffective for people with beards and eye
glasses. The SCapeTM system technology eliminates all of these issues.

When the product is removed from its package the integral blower initiates automatically thereby providing positive pressure and protection to the wearer.

This is a one-time-use escape hood, average run time exceeds 4 hours.
