Aviation & Cabin Safety
The EVAC-U8 Emergency Escape Smoke Hood is recommended by
aviation and fire safety experts worldwide. EVAC-U8 will protect
against many deadly gases that pilots and air crew are likely to
be exposed to in an aviation emergency. These gases include
CARBON MONOXIDE, HYDROGEN CYANIDE, HYDROGEN CHLORIDE and
ACROLEIN. Lightweight & compact, EVAC-U8 is perfect for frequent
flyers as it can be carried from the plane and can be used to
evacuate a high rise hotel. It was instrumental in saving lives
of guests and staff when a fire broke out in the Stockholm
Sheraton in 1996.

Smoke Hood
Ideal for civilians, the police and military for egress in a
fire or toxic smoke emergency. Light and compact, smoke hoods
can be carried and used anywhere - on planes, to evacuate the
unfamiliar surroundings of a foreign hotel, at home or in the
office. They are strongly recommended by fire and aviation
safety experts worldwide.
Health & Safety
Three out of four fire related fatalities are attributed to
smoke inhalation and not to burns injuries. Thousands more
suffer chronic, long-term lung damage. One solution is the EVAC-
U8 Emergency Escape Smoke Hood. This affords 20 minutes of
valuable breathing time - enough to escape to safety. A special
high tech catalytic filter allows the wearer to breathe clean
air and neutralises Carbon Monoxide and many other deadly gases
Ideal for the less mobile such as persons with disability or the
elderly who need to spend more time leaving a smoke laden
environment. EVAC-U8 can also be worn by older children and over
glasses.
