About this product

A Breathable Barrier for NBC & Fallout Protection

The M4 is a discreet, field-ready overgarment that looks like a standard army rain poncho—but functions as a protective barrier against nuclear, biological, and chemical hazards. Thanks to its special polyamide construction, it provides over 120 minutes of lab-verified protection (drop-by-drop method) against liquid and aerosol agents, while also shielding against radioactive particulate fallout. Lightweight, compact, and reusable, it’s built to integrate with your existing MIRA Safety respirators and HAZ-SUIT^®.

Key Features & Benefits of M4 CBRN Poncho

• CBRN barrier you can wear anywhere: Helps prevent skin and equipment contact with liquid and aerosolized threats, including blister agents tested in the lab.
• Military-engineered polyamide: Developed by the Serbian military, the material is breathable, weatherproof, and tear-resistant for demanding use.
• Modular protection: Wear solo for “under-the-radar” coverage or pair with MIRA Safety gas masks and HAZ-SUIT^® to enhance overall protection.
• Lightweight & compact: Weighs about 23 oz (<650 g) and packs into a small, water-resistant, vacuum-sealed cube—ideal for EDC packs and duty bags.
• Built for real environments: Reliable from −30 °C to +50 °C with puncture-resistant construction for repeated field use.
• Proven performance: Tested to meet the Military Standard of the Republic of Serbia (PKP 6468/07) for material and seam integrity.

How Does it Work?

The M4’s special polyamide material forms an insulating barrier between your skin/gear and contaminants, helping block liquid and aerosol agents while remaining comfortable enough for extended wear. Its poncho cut provides broad coverage and fast don/doff compared to a full-body suit.

Use Cases of M4 Poncho: Emergency Preparedness, Duty/Patrol, Training, Camping & Hiking

• Emergency & fallout layer: Rapid outer protection during industrial accidents or radiological events.
• Duty and patrol: Low-profile coverage when escalation risk is uncertain.
• Training & exercises: Reusable layer for repetitive drills and decontamination practice.
• Outdoor & expedition: Weatherproof performance for rain, wind, and rugged movement.

Care & Reuse: Field Decontamination and Inspection Checklist

• Follow local decontamination procedures after exposure.
• Inspect seams and fabric; replace if damaged.
• Do not machine wash; avoid solvents and high heat.
• Keep sealed until needed to preserve shelf life.

PPE Compatibility: Works with MIRA Safety Gas Masks and HAZ-SUIT^®

Designed to layer over MIRA Safety gas masks and pair with the MIRA Safety HAZ-SUIT^®, expanding your protective system without sacrificing mobility or discretion.

FAQs

Is this a replacement for a full hazmat suit?

No. It’s a modular outer garment that adds CBRN protection and weatherproofing. For prolonged or high-risk exposure, pair with a certified suit and a properly fitted respirator.

How long does protection last?

Lab testing demonstrates >120 minutes of protection against sulfur mustard by the drop-by-drop method. Real-world duration depends on dose, agent, temperature, and activity.

Can I reuse it after exposure?

Yes, if properly decontaminated and undamaged. Always follow official decon procedures; replace if compromised.

Will it protect my gear as well as my skin?

Yes. The poncho cut helps shield exposed equipment (e.g., chest rigs, outer layers) from liquid/aerosol contact to simplify post-event decon.

What climates is it built for?

Operational from −30 °C to +50 °C, with weatherproof performance comparable to a military rain poncho.
