Offering unique versatility of wearing styles for different working environments, the Airstar™ is supplied in either a Lite or Pro version. The Lite consists of a comfort harness which the cylinder and apparatus are mounted on, and the Pro consists of an approved full body harness, with front and rear attachment points, which can be used for fall protection.

Both provide the option of wearing the cylinder on either leg mounted or back mounted position – this can be switched in seconds utilizing the unique Quickmount™ buckles.

Air is supplied to the Tempest lung governed demand valve, attached to the full face mask or helmet. An emergency escape cylinder is provided, which is connected into the compressed air supply – should this fail then the cylinder provides a nominal 10 minutes of air with which to escape.

A switchover valve is contained on the apparatus which will allow the air to be fed from the escape cylinder; if the main air supply fails a whistle activates when the air is fed from the escape cylinder.
