The GVS Elipse is an incredibly small and lightweight half-mask that is similar in size to a standard short-term mask. Thanks to its lightweight design and weight of only 132g (including filters), the mask is barely noticeable. The Elipse features replaceable filters with a long service life. P3 filters are sold in pairs and are easy to replace. (One set of filters is included with the purchase of a mask.) The Elipse P3R has the highest classification for a particle filter. EN 143 requires an efficiency of at least 99.95%. The Elipse P3R achieved 99.98% efficiency at 0.3 microns. It is perfect for daily use and also for commercial applications such as chimney sweeping, metalworking, welding, and stonemasonry. It also protects against microorganisms, i.e., bacteria and viruses. The mask is made of a TPE material that is hypoallergenic and free of latex and silicone. The material has been carefully selected to conform to the contours of the face. The mask is available in two sizes: M/L and S/M.
