CM-8M Tactical CBRN Respirator: Military-Standard Protection with Unmatched Situational Awareness
The CM-8M Full-Face Respirator redefines tactical CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear) protection. Meets EN 136:1998 Class III and delivers critical features for military, law enforcement, and preparedness professionals. Its innovative design integrates maximum threat protection with exceptional operational capability.
Core Protective Capabilities
- Military-Grade CBRN Defense: Trusted protection against Chemical Warfare Agents (CWA), Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TIC), biological aerosols, and radioactive particulate matter.
- Extended Agent Resistance: Independently tested to resist mustard gas penetration for nearly 30 hours.
- CBRN-Compliant Construction: Durable bromobutyl rubber facepiece ensures integrity against chemical threats.
- Oxygen Requirement: For use only in environments containing ≥19.5% oxygen (air-purifying respirator principle).
Revolutionary Situational Awareness & Compatibility
- 92.5% Panoramic Field of View: Contoured visor maximizes peripheral vision—critical for threat assessment and navigation.
- Optics-Ready Geometry: Optimized for compatibility with night vision goggles (NVGs), thermal optics, riflescopes, and binoculars.
- Enhanced Audibility: Central speech diaphragm provides 95% speech intelligibility (upgrade recommended: MIRA Safety Gas Mask Microphone).
Operational Ergonomics & Stability
- Secure 6-Point Mesh Head Harness: Ensures stable fit during dynamic movement and extended wear.
- Filter Flexibility: Accommodates one or two standard 40 mm NATO Rd 40 × 1/7" (EN 148-1) filter cartridges.
- Tactical Advantage: Single-filter configuration maintains optimal cheek weld for marksmanship (usable on either side).
- Hypoallergenic Inner Mask: Prevents fogging and reduces CO₂ buildup during prolonged use.
- Helmet Integration: Tested with a variety of high-cut tactical helmets and shown to integrate seamlessly; however, if the wearer has a small head, the mask may not fit well with a helmet.
- Integrated Hydration: Pre-installed hydration system included; hydration port also accepts CamelBak® bladders via Type M adapter (sold separately).
- Refined Ergonomics: Updated construction maximizes ergonomics and minimizes overall profile for extended wear.
Reliability, Longevity & Support
- 20-Year Shelf Life (when stored correctly; see storage guidelines).
- Universal MIRA Safety Ecosystem: Compatible with all MIRA Safety 40 mm NATO filters, microphones, and replacement parts kit.
- Riot Control Certified: Meets EN 168 standards for impact protection.
- Manufacturer Warranty: Backed by MIRA Safety’s 1-year warranty.
- European Quality: CE marked. Manufactured in the Czech Republic.
Sizing & Fit Assurance
- Universal Fit (Medium): Comparable to CM-7M/CM-6M masks; available in one size.
- Optimal for average head sizes: Not recommended for significantly smaller/larger circumferences.
- Critical Safety Step: Perform a negative pressure seal check every use.
