The Ops-Core SOTR is a tactical half-mask respirator designed to provide elite respiratory protection without compromising operational effectiveness. Its core value comes from offering 99.97% filtration against a wide range of hazardous airborne particulates, including lead, asbestos, and explosive gunfire residue. Unlike traditional respirators, the product features a low-profile, streamlined design that seamlessly integrates with helmets, NVGs, eye protection, and communications headsets, ensuring that an operator's gear and weapon interface remain clear. Features like twin exhalation valves for easier breathing and the ability to perform a one-handed filter change make it an essential tool for anyone who needs reliable protection in high-stakes environments.
