This
kit includes an extremely durable CPF3
high-performance chemical suit which is ideal for
domestic preparedness applications. The CPF3 is one of
the best suits available & features
taped seams, an attached respirator fit hood, booties & elastic
wrists. As some emergency situations may require long-term
outdoor/field use, this kit also
includes a military (OD Green, unissued surplus) chemical
suit at no extra charge. This exact
design was used in the Persian Gulf by the U.S. military
and is intended for use in extreme environments. The military
chem.
suit is an extremely durable, multi-layer design, made
with a rip-stop nylon outer shell, a carbon core for absorption
of contaminates & a breathable inner layer. The military
chem suit & CPF3 are both designed to be worn over regular ‘street
clothes’, including shoes (the military suit does not
cover the shoe) & are easily donned in the event of
an emergency.
Foot
protection is provided by the SF
Chem-Bio overshoes which
meet ALL
military specifications for combat use. The
Chem-Bio
overshoes have passed the strict military requirements
for puncture resistance, durability, traction & protection
against chemical & biological warfare agents. Hand
protection is provided by a dual layer system: A military
spec. butyl glove outer barrier (considered to be sufficient
NBC protection without an inner glove) provides excellent
chemical & puncture
resistance. Plus, a Silver Shied glove is
utilized as an inner layer. Silver Shield gloves are ultra-thin,
only 4 mil thick, & are
the most (chemical) permeation resistant gloves available today.
This combination of inner & outer gloves provides the best
possible hand protection & is recommended for use when
working in extremely hazardous environments.
You
have the equipment, but when is it time to ‘gear
up’? This kit includes a full booklet (25 sheets)
of M8 Chemical Agent Detection Paper.
M8 paper is used to detect liquid chemical agents, mists,
etc. The paper has an unlimited
shelf-life when kept dry & detects nearly all forms
of chemical agents by changing colors when agents are detected.
M8 detection paper can distinguish between various agents
by specific color changes, therefore indicating what protective
measures should be taken. (ie. evacuation, donning protective
wear, using specific antidotes, etc.)
To
keep your mask, filter & other gear accessible when
needed, a military gas mask carry
pouch is also included; It
features belt loops, a shoulder strap & numerous compartments & pockets
to keep your gear organized & secure. All these items fit
neatly into our deluxe black nylon gear bag (which has 2 large
end pockets, a side pocket & an oversize opening) so
that your equipment is stored together and is ready in
the event
of an emergency when seconds could make the difference.
This
kit also includes a pocket-sized ERG2000, The
Emergency Response
Guidebook. The ERG is a concise handbook detailing
the appropriate response for virtually every possible WMD,
Hazmat or other chemical emergency. The ERG is also available
on CD Rom & in a full size format.
