The EDI-USA FreshTac Gas Mask is a full-face, dual-filter respirator trusted by thousands of tactical users for protection against riot control agents, toxic industrial chemicals (TICs), and poisonous smoke. A panoramic polycarbonate visor delivers an unobstructed field of vision, and the one-size-fits-all suspension system adapts to a wide range of head sizes. Two replacement filters are included at no additional cost.

Who this is for

• Law enforcement and corrections officers who need reliable protection during crowd control operations involving CS gas, CN gas, tear gas, or pepper spray deployments.
• Security and tactical professionals requiring a full-face mask compatible with ballistic and riot helmets for integrated protective loadouts.
• Emergency responders and industrial personnel operating near toxic industrial chemicals or poisonous smoke who need a dual-filter system with fast canister replacement.

Chemical and threat protection

The FreshTac is tested to protect against the most common police anti-riot chemical agents: CS (o-chlorobenzylidenemalononitrile), CN (chloroacetophenone), standard tear gas formulations, and pepper spray (OC). Protection extends to a broad range of toxic industrial chemicals and poisonous smoke environments. The dual-filter design uses two canisters mounted to the front left and right sides of the mask, splitting the breathing load and maintaining airflow balance under exertion.

The canister filters are disposable and field-replaceable. After exposure, spent canisters detach and replacement units attach directly without tools. Refer to the EDI-USA gas mask and filter specifications document for the full use-guideline matrix and protection ratings for each agent class.

Visor and optics

The panoramic visor spans the full face, eliminating the narrow viewing angles common to two-eye window designs. The lens surface carries both an anti-fog coating and an anti-scratch coating, each applied with non-toxic chemistry. The result is a clear, distortion-free sight picture under field conditions where temperature differentials typically fog uncoated lenses within minutes of donning.

Fit and suspension system

The FreshTac uses a single universal size built around an adjustable multi-point suspension harness. Strap tension adjusts at the head to conform to a wide range of skull dimensions without swapping components. The low-profile mask body sits close to the face and fits under most ballistic helmets and riot helmets without requiring chinstrap repositioning or helmet spacer kits. Two filters ship with every mask.

Frequently asked questions

What chemical agents does the FreshTac protect against?

It is tested against CS gas, CN gas, standard tear gas, and pepper spray — the agents most commonly deployed in riot control operations. Protection also covers a range of toxic industrial chemicals and poisonous smoke. For the complete list of rated agents and concentration limits, download the EDI-USA gas mask and filter specifications document.

How long do the filters last and when should I replace them?

The canisters are disposable. Replace them after any confirmed chemical exposure. The specifications document provides service-life guidance by agent type and exposure duration. Two filters ship with the mask to get you started, and replacement canisters are available separately.

Will this mask fit under a ballistic helmet or riot helmet?

Yes. The FreshTac's low-profile body is designed to fit under most ballistic helmets and riot helmets without modification. If you have a specific helmet and want confirmation before ordering, contact us.

Is this a one-size product or does it come in multiple sizes?

One size fits all. The adjustable multi-point suspension harness accommodates a wide range of head sizes without swapping parts or purchasing a separate size.

Does the visor fog during extended wear?

The lens carries a factory-applied anti-fog coating using non-toxic chemistry. Real-world fogging resistance depends on exertion level and temperature differentials, but the coating is designed to maintain visibility under the conditions typical of riot control deployments.

Can this mask be shipped to my state?

The FreshTac Gas Mask is a respiratory protective device, not body armor. No state-level restrictions equivalent to body armor laws apply to this product. It ships throughout the United States. International orders are subject to US export regulations — contact us for international shipping inquiries.
