It looks like a space helmet and is activated when it's donned. lasts about 15/20 can't remember much else.

It's not the best design smokehood out there and i'm glad i didn't have to use in an emergency!

It's that non-descript that i 've actually forgotten how to operate it.

dustybin described it perfectly. i prefered the drager as it gave more protection against heat and burning material because it had a "bib" front the air 'liquide only protects the head.

Place thumbs on the two yellow markers and stretch the latex seal, and put it on from front to back. A smal lever is pushed up by your head, which starts the oxygen supply. Lasts for 15 mins.

Thanks guys - I finally found details in my paperwork in the loft!!!
I agree though that it is not the best option and have approached the operator to change to Drager.

Safe Flying
