Drager X-Plore 3300 and X-Plore 3500 - What Are the Features

Both of the masks have a FlexiFit head cradle which results in a good fit for most head shapes and also works well under safety helmets. They are also compatible with goggles or glasses

The X-plore 3300 and X-plore 3500 are compatible with bayonet twin filters that should be situated on either side of the mask and these filters will come in pairs. These can be purchased separately on our website, click here to see the range. Although both masks are comfortable to wear, there are some slight differences.

The X-plore 3300 is known as the low maintenance version, whereas the X-Plore 3500 is more suitable for long-term tasks.

The X-plore 3500 has all of the same features as the 3300 apart from two things.

One is the mask body which is made from DragerFlex material. This is hypoallergenic, free of silicone and is extremely comfortable

The second additional feature is ‘Drop Down Harness’. A neck hook is included which means the mask can be released without having to remove a safety helmet, for example.

Due to these additional features, the X-plore 3500 is slightly more expensive, but it does come with a resealable mask bag

You can purchase these masks on their own, or as part of a Drager Work Set with a pair of filters.

The X-plore 3300 can be purchased as part of a painter or chemical work set and the X-plore 3500 can be purchased as part of a construction set.
