Product Reviews of Israeli Civilian Military Gas Mask w/ Nato Filter
Product Review: GAS MASK!
Summary: 4 Stars
I Would give it 4 stars. it is a good mask. it doesnt smell bad like other gas masks. It is a very easy to adjust gas mask. But the reason im not rating it 5 stars is because i would prefer a creepy looking gas mask with an oxygen tube. I suggest if you are looking for a good gas mask for use of a gas attack or something, that is a good up to date gas mask. But If you are looking for a world war 2 stylish or creepy looking gas mask for fun. Try Ebay, or one of the other ones on amazon. Well whatever you do just let me know how you like it. If you have any questions please contact me. Thanks Bye!Product Review: Gas Mask that's top-notch!
Summary: 5 Stars
This item, like other review stated, was made in 1987, however, it functioned as if it were brand new. My son intends to use it during Boy Scout cooking duty (he loves food!) and to scare his 8 year old sister at inopportune moments of his choosing. He reports it is one of his favorite Xmas gifts.Product Review: Good buy, wont trust life on it.
Summary: 4 Stars
The one i got was made in '81. I loved wearing it, bought it for photography reasons. I had bought it on a Thursday and it was at my house on Monday w/ standard shipping!!! Super cool buy, Wont really trust my life on it though.Product Review: Good quality, exactly what I was looking for.
Summary: 4 Stars
The gas mask, considering its journey from Israel to the US, is in very good condition. The only problem I found with it is that the lens for the eyes were both a bit scratched. Despite the lack of some sort of a manual or instructions, it was easy to figure out all of the functions of the gas mask. I got the gas mask exactly on the estimated delivery date. I would easily recommend this gas mask for its quality and PRICE.Product Review: Great gas mask; but caution on the NATO filter & Keep Your Mouth Shut!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used and trained with several types of gas masks, including Scott and other brands.
Thank goodness for the Israelis! Why? For one reason: do you know of any U.S.-made gas mask that is as economical and available for any member of the U.S. public? I'm talking about "gas masks" and not "escape hoods" which the latter is a joke compared to gas masks.
You may ask, "Well, what would they think about me at work if I brought in a full gas mask?" Pardon me, but if you're dumb enough to tell them, then you can probably expect a negative reaction. Or worse, when you reach into your (locked) work cabinet to get it, you'll notice it missing and see one of your coworkers wearing it while she is evacuating from the building. So store it and the sealed filter in bag and keep your mouth shut!
In the Israeli line of gask masks that is available to the general public, the Military model is far superior than the "civilan version" (the immediate visual distinction is that the civilian version has round eyepieces, while the military version has triangle-shapped eyepieces, plus a fluid intake apparatus built onto the mask.) Neither product is compatable with the operator wearing eyeglasses under the mask (contact lenses are okay), as opposed to other brands (Scott) which have an attachment for Rx lenses under the mask.
One main caution: the filters that come with the Israeli masks are generally okay for low-scale toxins, but if you want a filter that will cover you for a full scope (or near full scope) of biological and chemical agents you should get some for that specific purpose. They are available (at a higher cost) over the internet. Consider chemical suits and protective clothing too. Keep the filters sealed and in airtight containers so they will last you for years. Use the NATO filters that came with your Israeli masks for training purposes for you, your family, your loved ones, and those whom you have stewardship over. Think of ideal ways to make practice fun, especially with children and the elderly!
Remember that if a time comes (a critical incident) that you DO need the higher end bio-chem filters, you probably will not be able to obtain any at least for the immediate future.
