Constant Flow System

The Summit Oxygen 'Typhoon' facemask offers unrivalled performance in the harshest environments.  It represents the culmination of years of continued development in consultation with the experts, the sherpas who climb Mount Everest year after year.

The 'Typhoon' facemask benefits from the following features:

Hardened exo-skeleton prevents the facemask ‘spreading’ across the face when pulled tight

Oxygen resrevoir is contained in a clear protective cover which allows the .climber to confirm correct function

Oversized valves allow unrestricted breathing

Available in two sizes - BLUE(Small) and RED (Medium/Large)

Often described as the most comfortable facemask ever!


Pulse Dose© System

Summit Oxygens' 'Pulse Dose'© system offers the climber unprecedented endurance. 

The ‘pulse dose’ meter detects a climbers inhalation instantaneously delivering a precisely measured dose of oxygen at the leading edge of inspiration.   This extends the endurance of the cylinder by a minimum ratio of 3:1. The system is fully compatible with 'Himalayan Summit' or 'Poisk' equipment. To acheive the maximum benefits of the system it is recommended that Pulse Dose is used for sleeping and climbing up and including the top camp before switching to constant flow for summit day.

Pulse Dose offers the following benefits:

Unprecedented endurance - 30 hours from a 4-litre cylinder

A good nights sleep free from interruptions from sleep apnea

Comfortable silicone nasal cannula for oxygen delivery
