Tactical Respirator - FAQs
Ops-Core SOTR vs. SOTR LITE?
Both masks offer an incredible middle ground between no breathing protection and a massive, full-face respirator that limits mobility and sight. The primary advantage of the SOTR over the SOTR Lite is that it is compatible with helmets and other gear. It also comes with two filters, meaning it will last longer and be more effective.
Why would the Ops-Core SOTR be helpful for a civilian?
This mask offers pros for more than just military personnel and law enforcement. A shooting range is one of the many civilian-centric places where this mask may be useful. Shooting ranges have massive ventilation systems. If any of those fail, you go to a shooting range without one or at an outdoor shooting range; the air can quickly fill with tons of particulates, building materials, and other hazards. They can also protect against long-term threats like asbestos and lead, which are useful for entering potentially harmful environments like basements, attics, or abandoned buildings.
What does the SOTR protect against?
- Lead
- Asbestos
- Mold
- Bacteria
- Dust
- Lubricant Mist
- Explosive/Gunfire Residue
- Fentanyl exposure
- The default filter and the official replacement filters on Atomic Defense stop PM10 particles with a filtration efficiency against airborne particulates, including Lead, Asbestos, lubricant mist, and explosive gunfire residue.

- No need to purchase a shipping label! Atomic Defense will give you a pre-paid one.
- A re-certification cost of 20% applies to returns of ballistic and bulletproof products.
- The 20% recertification covers the cost of ensuring the armor is safe. Usually starting with X-Raying the armor for cracks underneath the coating, inspection for damage, and water damage testing. Without this 20%, we would not be able to offer returns on armor.
- There is no way for us to know how or if it was used once shipped, and we have to consider them unsafe until retested, inspected and certified.
- Exchanges and non-ballistic products do not have a re-certification cost.
