AirBoss Defense Group (ADG), part of AirBoss of America, provides personal protective equipment and survivability products for defense, first response, healthcare, industrial, and field use. The AirBoss PPE range includes respiratory protection, CBRN filters and cartridges, protective gloves and overboots, shelter systems, decontamination equipment, and related accessories.
These products are built for teams that need protection, mobility, communication, filtration, and readiness in difficult environments.
Protect What Matters Most
Every PPE decision starts with the hazard and the job. A defense team preparing for CBRN exposure has different needs than a healthcare team evaluating powered respiratory protection, a contractor working around particulates, or a response team setting up temporary field infrastructure.
AirBoss PPE categories include full-face respirators, powered air-purifying respirators, compatible filters and cartridges, protective gloves and overboots, cold-weather footwear, shelters, decontamination systems, and accessories. The right system depends on the hazard, the fit, the work environment, and how the equipment will be used in the field.
Why AirBoss Defense Group?
ADG works with defense, emergency response, healthcare, government, and industrial customers that need protective equipment for hazardous and difficult environments. The company combines AirBoss material and rubber expertise with ADG product lines for respiratory protection, protective wearables, shelters, decontamination systems, route clearance, blast exposure monitoring, and other survivability needs.
ADG has served customers in 81 countries worldwide. AirBoss product pages, spec sheets, and catalogs provide the technical detail needed to evaluate equipment for specific environments and use cases.
Trusted PPE Solutions for Government, Response, and Public Health Teams
Next Gen
Next-Generation Protection for the Front Lines
Frontline protection often requires more than a single product. Respirators, filters, gloves, overboots, shelters, decontamination equipment, and accessories all have to match the environment, the user, and the task.
AirBoss PPE supports defense, response, healthcare, and industrial teams with equipment built for demanding environments. Product selection depends on the hazard, the required level of protection, the wear time, the filter or cartridge, storage requirements, and field conditions.
CBRN Systems
CBRN protection is one part of the broader AirBoss PPE range. For chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear hazards, AirBoss offers respiratory systems, compatible filters and cartridges, and related accessories for teams working around high-consequence threats.
The AirBoss store includes the LBM Low-Burden Mask, C4 CBRN Gas Mask, FlexAir PAPR, C420 PAPR, AirBoss 100 Half Mask, and compatible filter options.
First Responder PPE
First responders need protective equipment that can be deployed quickly, worn for extended periods, and used in changing conditions. AirBoss respiratory systems, filters, protective wearables, spec sheets, and catalogs support hazardous-environment response, CBRN response, and temporary field use.

Contractor Protection
Industrial and contractor teams may work around dust, particulates, chemical exposure risks, contaminated areas, harsh weather, and jobsite conditions that make communication or movement harder. AirBoss respiratory systems, filters, protective wearables, spec sheets, and catalogs support PPE planning for demanding work environments.
The right equipment depends on the hazard, the respirator platform, the filter or cartridge, storage and maintenance needs, and any site-specific safety requirements.
Shelter Systems
ADG shelter systems include expeditionary shelters, isolation units, decontamination shelters, first response shelters, casualty management shelters, and related accessories. These systems are used when teams need temporary protected space, response infrastructure, decontamination flow, or operational support in the field.
AirBoss catalogs and technical documents provide additional detail on shelter and decontamination systems.
Respiratory Protection Systems
AirBoss respiratory protection options include full-face CBRN respirators, half-mask respirators, and powered air-purifying respirators. These systems are used for different applications, from reusable particulate protection to CBRN respiratory protection and powered airflow for reduced breathing burden.
The LBM Low-Burden Mask is a lightweight full-face CBRN respirator with 40 mm NATO-thread canister compatibility. AirBoss lists the LBM with a bromobutyl rubber facepiece, silicone inner mask, polycarbonate ballistic lens, safe hydration support, optional optical insert, and optional voice projection unit.

The C4 CBRN Gas Mask is a 40 mm NATO-thread full-face respirator used by military, law enforcement, and emergency response teams. AirBoss lists butyl rubber construction, front and side speech transmitters, optional voice projection, hydration support, multiple sizes, and compatibility with specific AirBoss CBRN filters and cartridges.
AirBoss C4 CBRN Gas Mask
The FlexAir PAPR is a compact, lightweight powered air-purifying respirator with NIOSH approval, 99.97% particulate filtration efficiency, high airflow, reduced breathing burden, and filter options for healthcare and industrial applications.

Filters and Cartridges
Filter selection depends on the respirator platform, the contaminant or exposure risk, and the intended application. AirBoss filter options include NIOSH-approved CBRN cartridges, P100 particulate filters, and CE-certified multi-threat cartridges.
Several AirBoss respiratory products use standard 40 mm NATO-thread connections. Filter or cartridge compatibility should be confirmed against the exact respirator system, protection requirement, and use environment before deployment.
PPE Solutions FAQ
What types of PPE does AirBoss provide?
AirBoss Defense Group provides respiratory protection systems, CBRN filters and cartridges, protective wearables, shelter systems, decontamination equipment, and related accessories for defense, first response, healthcare, industrial, and field applications.
What does CBRN mean?
CBRN stands for chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear. For a deeper overview of AirBoss CBRN and CBRN-E protection, see the AirBoss CBRN protection solutions page.
What respiratory protection systems are available from AirBoss?
AirBoss respiratory protection options include CBRN gas masks, half-mask respirators, and powered air-purifying respirator systems. The AirBoss store includes the LBM Low-Burden Mask, C4 CBRN Gas Mask, FlexAir PAPR, C420 PAPR, AirBoss 100 Half Mask, and compatible filter options.
What is the difference between a respirator and a PAPR?
A traditional air-purifying respirator relies on the wearer drawing air through a compatible filter or cartridge. A powered air-purifying respirator, or PAPR, uses a powered blower to move filtered air to the headpiece or facepiece, which can reduce breathing burden depending on the configuration.
Do AirBoss respirators use 40 mm NATO-thread filters?
Several AirBoss respiratory products and technical resources identify 40 mm NATO-thread or EN 148-1 compatible filter connections. Compatibility should always be confirmed against the exact respirator model, filter or cartridge, and AirBoss documentation.
How should customers choose the right filter or cartridge?
Filter selection depends on the respirator platform, the contaminant or exposure risk, applicable requirements, and the intended use environment. AirBoss filter resources include NIOSH-approved CBRN cartridges, P100 particulate filters, and CE-certified multi-threat cartridges.
