Our masks are designed to offer comfortable nuisance filtration, so workers are more likely to wear them during all exposure time to hazards, making them ideal for industrial and construction environments. Outback Mask utilizes dual evaporative and conductive (frozen) cooling methods, which are effective in both humid and dry conditions, reducing the risk of heat stress on workers. 

 

 

We understand the challenges faced by workers in large infrastructure projects, and our commitment to innovation ensures that they have the best protective gear available.

We extend our gratitude to the Nam Theun 2 team for their trust in Outback Mask. We remain dedicated to providing top-tier protection for workers in industries worldwide.
