This is also reflected in the quality of the fire escape hood. Top processed presents the hood in a handy storage bag, which is sealed. The seal is designed to prevent, which is used to cover more than one occasion. Unpacking is very simple, but you should have at least once before by reading the manual, because in case of fire is probably to no time.
Since I do not just want our house burn down for testing, I have put myself in the smoke of a campfire. Without mask this is ur briefly possible before taking refuge with coughing from the smoke. With the hood I have kept about half an hour to thickest smoke and could breathe easily. Sure, in a house fire, the smoke is dense and safe because of that which burns and another example plastic parts, even more dangerous. Nevertheless, I am after my test the conviction that one can endure even in thick smoke given 15 minutes.
The odor of the mask is kept within limits, in case of fire, this is also completely beside the point. The viewing area is large enough and the hood can be, and I think that is important to wear even with eyeglasses. Who wears a beard or long hair has, should consider in applying the cover, however, that the flexible part is around the neck closed properly, otherwise can penetrate gases and vapors under the hood and thus the hood is not much use.
The price is not exactly low, but absolutely justified for a product of this quality. Whether you need something in private homes, everyone must decide for themselves. But no doubt it increases safety. Especially against the background that most fire victims die not by the flame itself, but from smoke inhalation, me such a mask in the event of cases also for home seems quite reasonable.
