LOL,
Classic !!
I remember when in the Ukraine i tried on some of the head gear the Soviet tank crew wore.
Well fun but not something you would wear out for dinner

I came across a military fetish store in Berlin which had some awesome gasmasks.. I had to buy one!

You could totally wear it out for dinner, minus the whole 'eating' part

blackduck30 · 07 Mar 2012, 5:01 pm

With some of the guys i work with they should be supplied

Titan · 07 Mar 2012, 5:42 pm

blackduck30 · 08 Mar 2012, 9:07 am

Titan · 08 Mar 2012, 1:01 pm

Hahaha just imagine if it was true and your mates will give you the "looks" each time they need to put them on lol. priceless.

That gas mask is disturbing and hot at the same time. *hangs head in shame* ;D

I have a British S10 with canisters.

Looks awesome, but somehow I imagine myself suffocating in it.

Nikkor · 23 Dec 2012, 1:49 pm

I thought about getting one of these to wear to abandonments, but I don't really want to get mistaken for a terrorist in Sydney.

Titan · 29 Dec 2012, 1:40 pm

LOL Nikkor,

These masks arent your most comfortable choice of head wear also i must add.

Yeah, I can imagine, they look sweet though, might get one for Japan, they aren't as terrorism crazy as America/Australia/UK.

Yeah, in Japan, they'd just mistake you for someone with a very weird fetish or a tentacle monster engineer.

I have a GP-7V that I bought myself for some cool urbex selfies

. I have seen some urbex related pages on Facebook that have loads of people in gas masks while exploring. Its in my avatar !

mpi · 27 May 2013, 7:17 pm

My mask aint much use against gas, but it looks awesome none the less:

Scarecrow · 28 May 2013, 6:59 pm

Those masks are much cheaper than I would have thought, Titan. Where are you originally from, if you don't mind my asking?

Titan · 28 May 2013, 10:00 pm

All good. I was born in Estonia and moved to Aus in 94

Scarecrow · 29 May 2013, 2:35 am

So would you have your dual citizenship? I'm currently in the process of euro citizenship... takes so long for the paperwork to go through. I was born here, so had to dig up my father's original certificates.

Nick · 29 May 2013, 2:14 pm

I've got a Scott PROMASK which I use from time to time, it's got P3 filters in it, I've worn it for a few hours without taking it off, it's tough, your whole face scratches, but you know if you take it off you'll breathe in god knows what,

It's natural rubber etc, something something cooling, so it's the modern equivalent, but god, I'd still die if I had to wear it indefinatley like the army ones.

Midget · 31 May 2013, 8:53 am

Nice one, I'm having trouble finding a good fitting P3 mask in shops. Probably have to get it online, but I'm lazy. Also, my crappy Asian face ain't made for these products.

mpi · 31 May 2013, 12:04 pm

Midget, you can pick up a pack of 20 disposable ones for like 40 bucks at bunnies. They should fit any face. I'm not keen on disposable s*** in general but the thought of pigeon s*** dust, asbestos dust and f*** knows what building up on the surface of a non-disposable mask puts me off.

Besides, the disposable ones make you look like a mother fuckin' Mortal Kombat ninja.

Choose your destiny bro.

The disposable ones I've seen only go up to P2, or like P2.5 (which is P2K or something?). They fit horribly even after a lot of bending.

Nick · 01 Jun 2013, 10:59 pm

I get most of my gear from here, they're around Aus.

It's also worth knowing what's bad, for example, health wise, but I think that's another thread....

ThatLb · 02 Jun 2013, 6:44 am

more on topic, I have a german m65? and some auer 3s 2055-014 thing?
I know nothing about gas masks, they've just come into my possession over the years.
