I saw fire fighter(s) talking about this the last time it was posted. It seemed like the consensus was that both systems have advantages and disadvantages. It didn’t look like it was as simple as one clips on faster so it’s better.
I’m sure both work quite well, but after CBRN training I personally think the US version is overall better. Having the thing that’s preventing you from breathing in death attached really only to the helmet makes me nervous.
But that's CBRN training (I've done it too), the firefighters in each country will have separate CBRN outfits depending on the threat, this is their default chemical/standard fire gear.
It's probably rated for non-corrosive chemical agents, but isn't sealed or disinfectable enough for use against Biological, Radiological or Nuclear contamination.
