• The MITR-PG1 Powered Goggle is one of a number of new CBRN protective wear innovations on display on the Avon Protection stand N3-310

9th September 2025, Melksham, UK: Avon Protection introduces the MITR-PG1 Powered Goggle at DSEI 2025, designed to provide ocular protection against particulate hazards in military, special forces and law enforcement operations. The new product has been developed to be worn with the MITR-M1 Half Mask, providing users with scalable, flexible full-face protection for tactical low- to mid-level threat environments.

The low-profile, low-burden MITR-PG1 filters CS/CN/OC threats with an integrated filter and blower system which constantly purges the air within the goggle. This ensures that the wearer’s eyes remain constantly protected against particulate hazards, and the visor remains clear from fogging even in extreme temperatures.

MITR-PG1 integrates seamlessly with ballistic and bump helmets via a strap system without interfering with other head-mounted systems such as night vision goggles. It is powered by a single 18650 protected cell battery that offers >8 hour operation from a single charge, with LED and vibrate status indicator that can be turned to stealth mode when required.

MITR-PG1 is designed to meet the requirements of ANSI Z87+ and ISO 16321-1, and can be used in an operational temperature range of -10 to 50˚C.

“With the MITR-PG1 Powered Goggle joining the MITR-M1 Half Mask, we can now offer full face protection to tactical users who want a flexible, low-burden alternative to full face rigid respirators for fast evolving low-mid threat environments,” Steve Elwell, President, Avon Protection, said. “We have leveraged our 140-year history of design excellence to produce a goggle that is light and comfortable enough to be worn for more than eight hours at a time, and that integrates seamlessly with the Half Mask and commonly used helmets.”

At DSEI Avon Protection is also showcasing the MITR-M1 Communications Unit concept; a compact, high-performance system module built to integrate optimally with the MITR-M1 Half Mask, delivering clear and reliable voice transmissions for users in demanding operational environments. A new helmet mounting kit accessory, the MITR-M1 Helmet Mount, further improves the MITR-M1 don/doff process by enabling users to mount the Half Mask directly to a wide range of helmets without the need to remove the helmet.

Also newly launched is the MITR-RF Riot Agent Filter, a low-profile combination filter containing a pleated high-efficiency filter element for removal of aerosols, particulate matter, smoke, fumes; and a carbon layer for the removal of vapours that may be released from trapped particles. The filter is specifically designed for removal of riot control agents and tear gases including CS, CN and OC pepper spray.
