Decent product, bad seller, October 12, 2008
This review is from: Belgian Gas Mask with Standard NATO Filter
I ordered this gas mask for my husband, who wanted to use it for a costume. It arrived with both eyes shattered. I am currently dealing with Allergy-Be-Gone to see if I can get my money back, but this seems to be a consistent problem. They are not packaged properly when shipped, just put in a box and mailed. I had terrible customer service and didn't get any response until I left negative feedback. Just be aware, the product is decent but might arrive damaged, and dealing with Allergy-Be-Gone is a pain.

Ok but came beat up, April 11, 2008
This review is from: Belgian Gas Mask with Standard NATO Filter
well the mask is pretty sweet but the mask came with a cracked lens, a broken strap, and the eye wholes leak. I did not send it back because I was not planning on using it for actual protection from toxic gases, but for show. I also did not want to wait another 2 weeks for it. The shipping was 8 bucks and the mask did not come for about 2 weeks. This was very annoying to wait on. In all the mask was way to expensive for the quality It had.

Another Belgian Classic, July 17, 2008
This review is from: Belgian Gas Mask with Standard NATO Filter
The proud members of the international community of Gas Mask collectors (or Gassies, as we call ourselves) are pleased to see that Amazon is now selling the Belgian gas mask.
Quite simply, this is the best gas mask in the world, easily outstripping both the military and civilian Israeli versions in terms of quality and design - although, to be fair, their children's mask remains the best option for young people and dwarves.
Despite the funky colour scheme, the East German gas mask can't filter a gnat's fart and the pathetic, eco-friendly British version - made from Welsh string-vests and previously-owned toilet paper - pales by comparison.
Sadly, Belgium is too often dismissed as the world's worst colonial power and an unlovely home to an obscene number of serial killers. Now it is time to celebrate her achievements - the vierendeel truss, nauseating fruit-flavoured beers, an imaginary, moustachioed amateur detective with an eating disorder and the finest gas mask known to man.
If you still believe Belgium to be an irrelevant, non-country peopled by bickering dullards, please keep you ill-informed opinions to yourself - otherwise Jean-Claude Van Damme might come round and kick your head off.
