MSA M1 SCBA Breathing Apparatus, Classic Pneumatic

MSA's M1 is a modular self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) that can be configured for the fire service, utilities and general industry, then upgraded in the field as your needs or budget change. It was developed with firefighters, with a strong focus on comfort and hygiene: the complete SCBA is machine washable without being taken apart.
