The Award-winning multi-stage catalytic filter and compact design of the Evac-U8 hood provide a high level of protection and value for frequent travelers. Its ability to remove carbon monoxide makes it especially valuable in high-rise hotel and office building fires, where carbon monoxide is the biggest threat. 

Protect yourself from toxic smoke, the number one cause of fire fatalities. It may look strange, but this emergency escape hood gives you 15 life-saving minutes to escape a fire with your lungs and eyes protected from painful smoke and toxic gasses.

Just twist open the compact canister, bite down on the snorkel-like filter, and pull the heat-resistant Kapton hood over your head.

Why EVAC-U8™?

The Missing Link

There is a missing link in the chain of survival. The missing link to reduce the number of deaths falls between detection and suppression. That link means MOBILITY - getting out alive. The role of the EVAC-U8™ is to provide that mobility to assist in safe escape from smoke and fire emergencies.

In most buildings and facilities we have invested in: 

* smoke detectors

* sprinkler systems

* fire extinguishers
