MSA S-CAP Personal Fire Escape Hood

90% of structural fire fatalities are caused by smoke inhalation…after only 2 minutes of exposure.

The MSA S-CAP offers anyone a way out.

Most victims of fire are not injured by heat or flames but by smoke and gases, especially carbon monoxide. The S-CAP Fire Escape Hood is a breathing device which filters and processes ambient air to provide at least 15 minutes for an able person to find their way to safety.

• Simple to don, easy to use…effective in seconds.
• Oil resistant, multi-purpose P2 filter removes 94% of particulate matter at 95 Ipm (similar to N95). 
• Converts deadly Carbon Monoxide gas to non-toxic CO2.
• Hood has a nose cup for a sure seal and an exhalation valve to reduce CO2 concentration.
• Provides 15 minutes or more time for self rescue.
• Large, clear protective lens provides a wide field of view for the best possible visibility in dark and smokey environments.
• High-visibility yellow color increases chances of being seen by rescuers.
• Universal-sized hood goes on easily and seals effectively on any adult. It even accommodates long hair and eyeglasses.
