PBE Donning Procedures

 

With only six donning steps, the Essex Crewmember PBE is the quickest donning PBE on the market.  The PBE goes on in seconds. The Essex PBE can be stowed in a combination stowage/mounting bracket (models MR-10042N, 46NS, 46NY, and 49N).  This stowage configuration eliminates the steps of first removing the PBE container stowage container from a separate mounting bracket, and secondly prevents leaving an empty stowage container in the aircraft which may impede crew and passenger evacuation.
