About this product
Engineered for Military, Law Enforcement & Emergency Response Teams
The CM-8M® tactical full-face respirator is a next-generation CBRN air‑purifying mask engineered to meet strict military requirements and designed for procurement by military, law-enforcement and industrial fleets seeking best-in-class situational awareness, optics compatibility and proven CBRN/TIC protection.

The durable bromobutyl construction and hypoallergenic inner mask provide long-duration comfort and fog resistance, a 6‑point mesh head harness ensures stable fit under dynamic conditions and helmets, and platform commonality with NATO-standard 40-mm filter cartridges, pre‑installed hydration, CE marking, EN 136:1998 Class III compliance and a 20‑year shelf life make the CM-8M® an operationally flexible, low‑logistics solution for fleets and large-scale deployments.

FAQs
Have a Question?
-
Are filters included with the CM‑8M®?
No — filters are sold separately. The CM‑8M® accepts standard 40 mm NATO/EN 148‑1 threaded cartridges.
-
Will the visor work with NVGs and rifle optics?
Yes — the contoured panoramic polycarbonate visor is engineered to preserve peripheral vision while remaining fully compatible with most night vision goggles, thermal optics, scopes and red‑dot sights. For precise cheek‑weld and alignment you may still prefer an optics riser depending on rifle setup.
-
Can I use the mask with a helmet?
Yes — the CM‑8M® has been tested with a wide range of high‑cut helmets and integrates well; users with very small head shapes should verify fit, as helmet + mask fit may vary.
-
Is the visor impact‑rated for riot control?
The visor meets EN 168 impact protection standards and the mask complies with EN 136 Class III requirements, making it suitable for riot control scenarios; the rigid polycarbonate visor is best protected with tear‑offs in high‑abrasion environments.
-
How should I store and maintain the CM‑8M®?
Store in a cool, dark, ventilated area (10–25°C, ≤65% RH), away from fuels, solvents, ozone sources and direct sunlight. Avoid deformation of rubber parts; follow manufacturer guidance for periodic inspection, part replacement and service life handling to preserve the 20‑year shelf rating.
