Customer Reviews
Beautiful gas mask
Beautiful and functional gas mask. Great for functionality during cleaning terrible messes and even in film making! Awesome!
Inspires confidence but some of the claims may be exaggerated
The mask fit nicely on my face and there is ample room for breathing inside. I noticed a little bit of fogging on the lenses but never during my testing were the lenses totally fogged. Even after a few minutes of running an obstacle course at 102F in the shade I could see enough to avoid most of the larger trees and even some of the wide ditches.
Sadly, I was unable to fully test the claim that ALL nuclear, bio (Anthrax and Small Pox) and chemical agents are filtered out - there is no independent corroboration. My own testing involved unflavored Baby Powder and some very smelly, ammonia-based household cleaners. I found no Baby Powder residue inside the mask but, to my surprise, I could still smell the Pinesol with my mask on even though it did not make me sick. As of the time of this review, I have not undertaken any testing of the 'biological' claim. I will be testing the level of radiation protection as soon as I can get a working Geiger counter and some depleted Uranium powder.
On a somewhat disappointing note, the NBC filter does not seem to work in the US. It allowed NBC, CNBC, even MS-NBC (via satellite). The only difference that I noticed was that the image was blurred and the sound was somewhat muffled while the mask was on but I noticed the exact same effect on ABC and TNT so I can't say that the filter works as expected.
very high quality
standard shiping took only took five days, the only drawback is that the mask smelled funny, but the smell comes out with some soap, very good quality, perfect for halloween, or any kind of fallout
