We recently started carrying the CM-8M, and want to provide an informative blog post about our new offering. Our goal here today is to provide you with an overview of this new product offering while delving into some of its features, traits and more. Without further ado, let’s examine the MIRA Safety CM-8M gas mask.

 

Who is MIRA Safety?

At the end of the day, the company is providing easy access to lifesaving equipment.

The MIRA Safety CM-8M Gas Mask

The CM-8M gas mask from MIRA Safety is a full-face respirator designed to protect a wearer against many types of threats. Specifically, the CM-8M is designed to protect against CBRN, toxic industrial chemicals (TIC), and chemical warfare agents (CWA). The mask is able to fit a wide range of users and features a 6-point mesh head harness. Conveniently, the mask accepts 40mm NATO-standard filter cartridges in the left, right, or both intakes at once. The CM-M8 is designed to protect against a variety of CBRN threats. Notably, this mask in particular is capable of resisting mustard gas for 30 hours per the company’s testing. All in all, this PPE offering from MIRA Safety represents a capable and versatile piece of life saving equipment.

 

Filter Compatibility

The MIRA Safety CM-8M gas mask is compatible with 40mm filter cartridges. Filter cartridges of this type are the NATO standard and can easily be found from a variety of sources. Of course, MIRA Safety also produces and offers filters of their own for use with their respirators. Simply put, one can utilize filter cartridges from either MIRA Safety or others which are of the 40mm NATO-standard type with their CM-8M mask.

 

Contoured Panoramic Visor

The MIRA Safety CM-8M features a wide, contoured panoramic visor which sets it apart from their other products. This design choice provides the wearer with a 92.5% field of view, only minimally hindering natural vision. Additionally, the geometry of the visor and mask allow for the use of weapon sights and other optical devices. For example, one will be able to utilize red dot sights, scopes, and even night vision and thermal optical devices while wearing this mask.

 

Built with Shooting in Mind

The contour and geometry of the CM-8M allows an end user to effectively shoulder a firearm and build a proper cheekweld. This is important as other types of masks either severely limit a user’s field of view or feature geometry which makes it hard to properly shoulder a firearm and develop a cheekweld.

 

Accessories

The MIRA Safety CM-8M is compatible with a variety of accessories. The mask can make use of a Type M adapter (not included by MIRA Safety) and integrate with CamelBak water bladders. This allows an end user to access hydration while wearing the mask if necessary. The mask is also supported by the company’s gas mask microphone kit, allowing for integration of communications equipment. Additionally, the geometry and contour of the mask allow it to be used with various types of high-cut helmets.

What if I Wear Glasses?

Typically, those with poor vision had to sacrifice clear vision for protection when donning a gas mask. MIRA Safety keeps those who wear glasses in mind with their MIRAVISION Spectacle Kit. One is able to purchase this kit and provide the manufacturer with their prescription to get a custom lens insert for their gas mask. This kit is available for a number of the respirators that the company produces, including the CM-8M. Simply put, MIRA Safety provides a gas mask compatible solution for those who require prescription lenses.

 

Conclusion

All in all, MIRA Safety’s CM-8M mask represents a high-quality product which can potentially save your life. The CM-8M’s various features such as its large field of view, common filter canister compatibility, and shooter-friendly traits allow it to appeal to end users of all types.
