Material Change to Part #510-509 KMB-18/28 Head Harness (spider)

Products Affected:
KMDSI Part #510-552

Kirby Morgan announces a change to the KMB 18 & KMB 28 BandMask Head Harness, Part #510-509. This part is molded from a new high quality material for greater durability and longer product life.

This molded spider is ergonomically designed for better fit and function, as well as increased tear resistance. Each strap end has a molded positive grip area for easier donning and removal of the mask.

The molded design of this new spider is far superior to the previous stamped & punched spiders. There are also inferior copies of the old design being sold as genuine Kirby Morgan spiders. The new design with its Kirby Morgan diamond logo molded right into the part makes it easy to tell that you are getting a genuine Kirby Morgan part.

There is no part number change.
