3 MSA Frontline: A History of Trust United States military forces have trusted MSA since World War I to provide the best in personal protective equipment, as generations of soldiers have worn MSA gas masks. In recent years, our military forces in Iraq and Afghanistan have trusted MSA s battle-tested Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH) and MICH Communication System. MSA s ACH has been adopted as standard issue for all troops deploying to the Iraq/Afghanistan Operations Theatre, and is credited with saving soldiers lives during combat. MSA s scope of equipment performance and comfort is essential to the safety and well-being of our military forces. MSA Paraclete s products have been Proven Under Fire, leading the industry in high-quality protective equipment and tactical gear systems. MSA s Commitment to Our Armed Forces With today s increasing need for specialized personal protection, MSA has invested significant resources toward our research and engineering capabilities, including three ballistic testing chambers. We take the business of protecting our troops very seriously, evidenced by our working relationships with the military community. As an ISO certified manufacturer, MSA strives to improve and innovate our designs, materials procurement, and production processes. Our products are thoroughly field-tested to exacting requirements, and meet or exceed industry standards. We consider ease of use, excess weight reduction, and employ quality assurance processes in order to provide maximum performance as well as comfort. Our first priority is our commitment to the U.S. military s personal protective equipment.

4 COMBAT HELMETS MSA Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH) The MSA Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH) delivers advanced ballistic, fragmentation, and impact head protection, with unsurpassed comfort for long-term use. The helmet s low-profile design reduces the risk of interference in target acquisition and ensures compatibility with NVGs (night-vision goggles), MSA s CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear) Gas Masks, and MSA s communication devices. An innovative suspension system of movable comfort pads provides customized sizing and superior comfort. The sized pads conform to the shape of your head to distribute the helmet s weight evenly and comfortable. Simply adjust and move the absorbent pads for a flexible, personalized fit. Proven Under Fire The MSA ACH, based on MSA s original MICH helmet, was developed for the U.S. Military Special Operations Command, meeting stringent requirements and unprecedented demands, and setting new performance standards. Named a Best Invention by U.S. Army Materiel Command, the U.S. Army was so impressed that MSA s ACH was adopted as the standard of issue for all troops deploying to the Iraq/Afghanistan Operations Theatre.

8 VESTS/BODY ARMOR Releasable Assault Vests (RAV) The original Releasable Assault Vest can be removed instantly via a patented single-point release feature. Vest includes full Molle-style grid webbing, sewn-on drag strap, integrated drink tube, communication channels, zip-off back panel and full modular system of add-on pouches and accessories. Complies with NIJ Standard , 2005 interim requirements when with armor. 10 x 12 rifle plate pockets Built-in side plate pockets for 6 X 6 hard plates Hook and loop closure for access to internal armor plate pockets and soft armor package Military specification materials Ballistic performance exceeds outer tactical vest fragmentation standards In May 2006 tactical commander Chris Joyner, a private security contractor assigned to the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, was riding in an armored vehicle when an IED nearly ended his life. The powerful blast almost rolled the five-ton vehicle. The explosion broke his cheekbones and dislocated his jaw. A spray of molten copper and shrapnel destroyed his right eye and lacerated his face and body. Although dazed and disoriented, he never lost consciousness. When a medic tried to cut open his MSA Paraclete RAV, Joyner stopped him. Whoa, whoa, whoa, he cried, just pull the cord! Cutting the tough, denier nylon could take 10 minutes time Joyner didn t have. The medic grabbed the emergency cord and pulled. In seconds, the fully loaded vest separated into five components and was out of the way. It saved my life, Joyner said of the RAV s patented cutaway system. In fact, he was told that the 10 minutes saved by the quick release of his MSA Paraclete vest were truly the difference between his life and his death. In September 2006, he visited the MSA Paraclete plant in North Carolina to thank those who made these vests. To: MSA Paraclete Armor & Equipment I just wanted to write you and let you know that your RAV vest saved my life last week. I am up here in Mosul and we got caught in an ambush. I was hit with a 7.62.x54 bullet in the very top part of my SAPI plate. The round went through my arm, through 2 full mags, and finally stopped in the final liner of my SAPI. From: a 24 th Infantry Soldier in Iraq The reason that I say it saved my life is that because of the RAV design, the SAPI plate does not sag and it is always in the proper place. With the interceptor, if you wear it incorrectly or the hook and pile is worn, the SAPI plate sags and does not cover all of the "vitals". Your RAV does not sag and it is impossible for it to be worn incorrectly. 8 ParacleteArmor.com

25 RESPIRATORY PROTECTION Demand Respirator for Confined Spaces Pressure-Demand Air-Line Respirators are designed to maintain a slight positive pressure of air inside the facepiece whether the wearer is inhaling or exhaling. This helps prevent contaminants from seeping in around the facepiece, even if there should be small breaks in the face-to-facepiece seal. Pressure-Demand Air-Line Respirators are designed specifically for non-idlh toxic atmospheres. The exception is if the respirator is equipped with an egress cylinder of air to use during escape. Pressure-Demand Air-Line Units require an air supply from an uncontaminated compressed-air source as stipulated in General Industry Safety and Health Regulations, Part (OSHA) with the delivered air conforming to at least Grade D of ANSI Standard Z86.1.

26 RESPIRATORY PROTECTION FireHawk Air Mask with CBRN Protection MSA has you protected with the latest enhancements to our FireHawk Air Mask, the fire service s FIRST NFPA edition, NIOSH-approved CBRN self-contained breathing apparatus. MSA s new FireHawk CBRN SCBA was developed to provide you with positive protection from CBRN agents, according to the stringent live-agent test regimen of the NIOSH approval process. Because conventional silicone diaphragms are among the SCBA components most vulnerable to CBRN agent permeation, our positive-protection design seals the new diaphragm of the Firehawk regulator from any initial contact with contaminants. The key to this protection are these revolutionary components, which lie within the CBRN version of the second-stage regulator: MSA s exclusive Tetraplex Protective Shield (patent pending). A permeation-resistant regulator diaphragm made of a proprietary rubber compound. A modified valve core body (the engine of the regulator). These components, plus one of the industry s best-fitting facepieces, MSA s Ultra Elite Facepiece, ensure reliable and effective respiratory protection not only from agents that might be used in a terrorist attack, but also from many of the lethal byproducts of combustion that CBRN Protection are encountered in everyday firefighting. Chemical plants, nuclear facilities, laboratories, and other industries harbor unknown and life-threatening environments that you might have to face. With MSA s CBRN FireHawk Air Mask, you can be positive you are protected. FireHawk Air Mask (Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus - SCBA) Safety Simplicity MSA s exclusive Quick-Fill System makes every SCBA capable of both receiving and donating air to firefighters in need. Although the NFPA standard requires all brands of SCBA to incorporate the RIC connection, only the MSA Air Mask can make full utilization of the fitting with our exclusive transfilling capability. An NFPA-compliant emergency egress system, integral to the SCBA waist belt, is available as an option. This Rescue Belt comes complete with Kevlar line (50 ft. or 75 ft.) and rappelling hardware. The all new Airframe Carrier and Harness comes standard, with large side handles and a central attachment point for pulling firefighters to safety in rescue scenarios. MSA s Ultra Elite Facepiece is designed with a one-way check valve to prevent cross-contamination. Although regulators are shared among users, harmful pathogens (SARS, hepatitis, flu virus) are kept within each individualissue facepiece. Wireless electronics add safety benefits by eliminating snag hazards that can accompany unnecessary wires on an SCBA. An optional swiveling lumbar pad for maximum freedom of movement and comfort when crawling or climbing. A slide-to-connect or push-to-connect regulator attachment to meet the widest range of your preferences. Modular stand alone electronic components for easy maintenance, with no wires to route and no complicated mounting brackets. A maintenance policy that delivers the lowest possible cost of ownership, based on the frequency of use of the Air Mask. For many departments, this means only conducting an annual flow test according to the NFPA 1852 standard. Even a busy department using one cylinder every other day would find the cost of maintaining an SCBA to be less than $7 per year. State-of-the-art regulator designs that have among the fewest number of parts in the industry. The Firehawk regulator requires no tools, lubricants, or sealants in its maintenance. NFPA and CBRN upgrade kits to help users meet the most current performance standards. Reliability In-house manufacturing of nearly every pneumatic, electronic, and structural component of the Air Mask to ensure optimal quality and performance. Use of the highest quality and grades of stainless steel and aluminum with select blends of Kevlar, rubber, and plastic molding compounds for the highest strength and durability. A best-in-class service network with over 2,000 certified repair facilities and a team of service specialists, committed to resolving customer issues any time, anywhere, all backed by a lifetime warranty. Assemble-To-Order System MSA s Assemble-To-Order System (ATO) will make ordering the right mask easier and faster than ever. Instead of choosing from a handful of complete Air Mask assemblies, users can order a custom-made Air Mask with every option exactly as desired.

28 RESPIRATORY PROTECTION Safe Escape CBRN Respirators When escaping from CBRN agents, every second counts. Depend on the Safe Escape Hood from MSA. The hood gives your employees the protection they need to escape from a terrorist situation safely, quickly, and easily whether they work in high-profile office environments, for government agencies or embassies, or as law enforcement or first responders. The MSA Safe Escape Hood is the equipment of choice for today s diverse workforce. Engineered for Maximum Performance Manufactured with a high-performance laminate material, the hood is designed to provide you with the latest in head and neck coverage with respiratory protection against CBRN agents. The soft, high-stretch rubber neck seal conforms to irregular neck contours, allowing a secure fit on a wide variety of users. Its unique sized nosecup helps reduce lens fogging and carbon dioxide buildup by directing air flow inside the hood. The Safe Escape Hood canister features a high-efficiency particulate filter and activated carbon to combat aerosols, gases, and vapors. In fact, the canister used in the hood contains 50% more carbon than similar canisters used by the U.S. military. Furthermore, MSA has performed extensive testing on the Safe Escape Hood against both simulated and live chemical agents beyond what is tested by NIOSH. Canister Test Challenge and Test Breakthrough Concentrations Agent Test Concentration NIOSH CBRN Allowable Breakthrough Safe Escape Average Breakthrough Time HD-Vapor 50 mg/m mg/m 3 > 45 min.

A user who is potentially under stress requires ease of donning and use. The large lens and translucent hood allow better visibility, face recognition, and minimal claustrophobia. The nose cup allows communication superior to that of conventional devices, which require wearers to breathe through a mouth bit. With the integrated nose cup, wearers can breathe and speak normally to provide potentially life-saving communications. The hood also features cradle-type self-adjusting head straps that allow for quick, no-assistance donning in the event of an emergency.
