Falcon – One Piece Lightweight Protective CBRN Oversuit

The Falcon is a highly comfortable and highly protective 1 piece CBRN oversuit harnessing much of the technology used in the Kestrel Lightweight Protection suit. Lighter than conventional systems, it provides qualified CBRN vapour protection with the added benefit of water/oil repellence and fire retardant coatings, thus making the Falcon an extremely versatile CBRN protection system for use in multiple CBRN threat environments.

Constructed using a lightweight activated carbon liner, combined with a rugged and anti-rip outer, the Falcon has been designed to offer the wearer maximum comfort whilst still offering a high level of CBRN protection within both a military and civil environment.

Lightweight and breathable, the Falcon has been tested using the Avon FM12 respirator, but can be configured to suit many other types of respiratory protection.

The Falcon suit has been designed as an integrated system for use with protective gloves and over-boots and a negative pressure respiratory system. The Falcon CBRN Protection Suit is designed for use by appropriately trained and CBRN aware personnel. It forms part of a specialised layer of protection against airborne challenge agents and is not intended for use by personnel who are not familiar with the requirements of a CBRN protection protocol.
