6. Mask / Balaclava

 

Depending on the design of the mask body and the resulting integration 

 

with the balaclava, two donning options are defined:

 

In case of masks without any obstacles along the outer circumference 

 

of the mask body, such as the SCOTT FRR/GSR, the balaclava is worn on  

 

top of the mask (option a.)

 

In case of the presence of any obstacle like harness buckles on the outer  

 

circumference of the mask body, as it is the case for the AVON Viking  

 

respirator, the mask is worn on top of the hood (option b.)
