Is your face sticky after a tough operation? Does the smell of smoke cling to your balaclava? The SAFLEX® R4ME02 filtering balaclava was designed for that. Equipped with Nanox® technology, it acts as a true protective barrier against fine particles while allowing air to pass through, for maximum comfort during operations.

Designed for firefighters in fire operations, rescue in hostile environments, or elite units, this filtering balaclava is a must-have for those who do not want to choose between filtration, safety and thermal comfort.
Why we chose this product
After an intervention, toxic particles often remain embedded in textile equipment, a well-documented long-term health concern for firefighters. A balaclava that effectively filters without sacrificing breathability or hearing under a helmet addresses a genuine prevention issue, not just a matter of comfort.
We chose the SAFLEX® R4ME02 for its Nanox® technology, which maintains a high level of filtration even after numerous washes, and for its zonal design that considers both thermal protection and the preservation of essential sensory cues (hearing) during interventions. This equipment is part of a genuine health prevention approach for firefighters.
