Product Description

This is a brand new in the box civilian model gas mask. It is designed to keep you alive in the event of a nuclear, biological or chemical attack. It is imported by Evirstar Defense Products and has a model number of GP-5.If comes with a new unopened filter and inserts for antifogging.It even comes with a very cool military looking bag with long strap. My daughter immediately discarded the mask and made off with the bag. Its definately cool if you are into that sort of thing.It is further designed so that when you inhale the filtered air clears your eye ports of moisture. Very smart.I have small adult and large adult, so please let me know which one you would like. You generally want this mask to fit tightly so as to exclude any outside air from entering around the rim. However they tend to fit smaller than they are. Im barely a large but still wear an extra large.To be more exact. keep in mind these masks are stretchy fit all rubber.approximately 63 cm is an adult small. (24.8') Plus or minus a bitapproximately 68 cm is an adult large (26.8') Plus or minus a bitapproximately 70 cm is considered an adult large (27.5') Plus or minus a bit.We dont have any adult medium. Also if you want to measure your head measure from under your chin to the highest spot on your head round. Do not just measure your forehead.Also I now have childrens masks so please state if you would like that.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Mask that I hope I never need., February 5, 2009

This mask is tight. I suppose it needs to be to keep the bad stuff out. Its kind a one size fits all since its made of really stretchy rubber. It takes a bit of practice learning how to breathe properly while wearing. REMEMBER to remove the stopper on the filter. You can't breathe at all if it is left in place. A cool feature is that when you breathe in the fresh air coming through the filter defogs your eye glass. Of course when you breathe out they have a tendency to fog up again. Plus it comes with a green military style carry bag.
I feel safer owning a few of these and keep them in my garage. Hopefully me and my family won't ever need them. Pretty cheap insurance.

This review is from: Gas Mask Civilian Model Nuclear Biological Chemical

I purchased this product from Wholesale Automotive Parts and Accessories, and the product arrived within two business days of the purchase. The product came exactly as described and I am very pleased with it. As for the mask itself, it is made out of a stretchy gray rubber material that's surprisingly comfortable to wear, and the brownish O.D haversack also seems useful for other thing besides carrying the Gas Mask. The lenses are very clear and allow for a wide field of view, and an interesting feature is that when you breathe in the mask defogs itself. One must know however that this is a novelty item, and should NEVER be relied upon in a real NBC situation. Another fact is that the filter does NOT contain asbestos, use of asbestos in gas masks ended after 1956 and these masks were not produced until 1970. Overall I am very happy with this purchase, and would recommend this product to anyone seeking an interesting (and non functional) novelty item.

Pros:

Cheap.
Lightweight.
Comfortable.
Clear lenses.
Durable.
Nice Haversack.
No Asbestos.

Cons:

Unreliable
in survival
situation.

Good quality, the delivery was fast, and it all came through as well, It looks just like the photo. Works well, just remember to take off the black patch so that the filter can actually work or at least take off the filter if you don't want to use it yet, easy to use as well, it slips on and sticks. 5/5 a cheap buy too, well worth it!
