Ahhhh, I haven't looked at Aeromedix in a long time and didn't realize that they had started to carry the Safe Escape smoke hood now. I guess they've also come to the same conclusion that this is probably the best combination of size, price, and features currently available. OK, if Aeromedix is carrying it now then that's definitely another stamp of approval on the Safe Escape smoke hood.

I'd be particularly interested in hearing about how compact this smoke hood is. Even with the soft carry case option, it's difficult to gauge from the web photos how small you can actually pack the thing.
