Protective Health Gear

What Protective Health Gear does

Protective Health Gear (PHG) is a US-based manufacturer of respiratory protective equipment, founded in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic and headquartered in Paterson, New Jersey. The company produces NIOSH-approved N95 respirators, with its flagship Model 6150 carrying conventional NIOSH approval under certification number TC-84A-9525. PHG also manufactures ASTM-tested high filtration face masks in both adult and children's variants, extending its product surface beyond certified N95s into adjacent consumer respiratory-protection categories.

PHG operates its own domestic production facility in Paterson, with stated manufacturing capacity of approximately 70,000 N95 masks per day. The company is led by CEO Brian Wolin and COO Evan Schulman and employs between 101 and 250 people. Its products are sold primarily direct-to-consumer through an e-commerce storefront built on Shopify, with the Model 6150 offered in 20-pack ($41.99) and 50-pack ($95.99) configurations and the high filtration mask line positioned for adult and pediatric consumers.

The business model is straightforward D2C e-commerce at retail-volume price points, supplemented by community and institutional positioning activities (such as a January 2023 donation of 30,000 masks to Paterson Public Schools) and earned media coverage in outlets including NBC, CBS, the Wall Street Journal, and CNN. Revenue is generated through unit sales of respirators and filtration masks to consumers, with healthcare workers and educational institutions representing identifiable but not formally contracted customer segments. No third-party distribution partnerships, enterprise anchor customers, or external funding rounds are disclosed in the available data.
