300&500
SELF CONTAINED
BREATHING APPARATUS
 Selected by the UK Design Council as a Millennium Product,
The Contour incorporates innovation and creativity in design and
application, maintaining Sabre’s reputation for being at the forefront
of breathing apparatus design and manufacture for over 30 years.
Providing operational flexibility and upgrade-ability, the Contour
features exceptional levels of comfort, reliability and maintainability.
With both the single cylinder Contour 300 and the twin cylinder
capable Contour 500 versions, Sabre has a breathing apparatus to
meet the professionals’ most exacting requirements, which reflects
Sabre’s stated philosophy to produce equipment customers wear by
choice, not just necessity.

DEMAND VALVE
The Tempest automatic

development of the ultra-
compact design, pioneered
by Sabre. It features low

unsurpassed dynamic
response, combined with
peak flow performance in
excess of 600 litres/minute.
As well as first breath

bypass facility, the valve
features a unique, fail-safe
servo-mechanism.

In common with all

Sabre’s pneumatic systems,
the Tempest provides the
benefits of full user

reliability and low
through-life costs.

 SINGLE OR TWIN CYLINDERS
The Contour 300 is for single cylinder operation,
whilst the Contour 500 has two cylinder valve
retainers; one of which rotates and the other is
hinged to fold flat to the backplate when not in
use. Twin cylinder operation is achieved by using
a high pressure manifold, connecting the two
cylinders to the backplate with minimal movement.
The Contour 500 can therefore be used for either
single or twin cylinder operation, whilst maintaining
the set’s ergonomics.
The Contour 300 & 500 series’ Kevlar webbing
cylinder band is infinitely adjustable without any
tools and the unique “over centre locking” cylinder
band latch is easy and quick to use whilst offering
full security.

FLEXIBILITY
The philosophy behind the
Contour is to provide a
range of modular products
capable of being upgraded
to incorporate new
technologies as they
become available. This
includes the ability to
accept the latest radio

systems with the minimum
of modification, thereby
ensuring that Sabre
Contour can meet your
future as well as current
operational needs.
