personal climate control
Kumo is a respirator that allows users to perform at their peak in hostile environments. Kumo monitors environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity and can interact with other wearables in order to gauge user performance.

modular environment optimisation
Kumo is modular and can be tailored for a variety of climate types. This variant is optimised for Arctic conditions. The cold, dry air is inhaled through the filter where it is heated and then humidified to ideal levels for peak performance.
