Spearhead Odor Defense Breathe Easy AC & Heater Cabin Filter, Fits Like OEM, Up to 25% Longer Lasting w/Activated Carbon (BE-285) BE-285 1-Pack
Overview
The SPEARHEAD Odor Defense Breathe Easy BE-285 is a direct-fit cabin air filter engineered as an OEM-equivalent replacement with an activated carbon layer for odor and gas control. Designed for drivers who want cleaner, fresher air inside their vehicle — especially allergy sufferers, pet owners, and commuters in urban environments — this single-pack pleated filter traps common cabin contaminants like dust, pollen and mold spores while adsorbing odors and many volatile organic compounds. SPEARHEAD markets the BE-285 as lasting up to 25% longer than basic paper filters thanks to a multi-layer synthetic media construction. Installation is a simple, no-tools swap in most passenger vehicles that accept the BE-285 form factor.
