The $42m order demonstrates the US DOD's continued confidence and reliance on Avon to supply product of the highest quality and performance to protect its war fighters. With over 1,500,000 Avon M50 mask systems delivered to date to US military personnel, Avon is the dominant supplier of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear respiratory protection masks to the US military.
 
Gary Dunn, VP Business Development at Avon Protection, commented, "We are proud that the US DOD continues to choose Avon to provide the best CBRN protective equipment for their troops. The M50 mask system delivers state-of-the-art protection against the changing threat environment we now have - from battlefield concentrations of CB agents, through to toxic industrial materials, toxic chemicals and particulate matter."
 

He continued, "The streamlined design offers a high degree of flexibility and comfort for extended use. The unique twin low-profile filters reduce breathing resistance and improve weapon sighting and weight distribution, all of which enable the troops to perform optimally in their roles".

The M50 provides outstanding protection from battlefield concentrations of CB agents, toxic industrial materials, toxic chemicals and particulate matter. The streamlined design offers unique twin conformal filters for low breathing resistance and reduced burden, excellent weapons integration and balanced weight distribution.
