I've had my mask for about 2 months with no problems what so ever. Fits great, the strips are comforable. The one thing that kinda bothers me is the nose. The bag is very well built comes with wipes, instructions, and a jar of powder. I looked it up and its to remove mustard gas from the skin. Over all 4 bullets :)

Great mask! You can get 60mm filters from e-gunparts.com

i was a bit uneasy about reading the reviews, some people said they are great, and some really put them down. When i ordered mine and got it in the mail, i have to say i was very pleased. I got exactly what is pictured, black voice box, plus i got everything it was sopposed to come with in the bag. Plus a sealed filter, although i did order the 60mm-40mm adapter and got NATO filters incase i need it down the road. it now sits in my closet ready for action. the mask is perfect, works great and has a perfect seal, thanks guys

all together I have used 5 of these. but some of them have a problem. after you sinch them up the straps start to slip and become loose. if this happens to you this is how you can fix it.on each strap there is a hard plastic clip that catches the strap and keeps it tight. there is a bump that rubs on the strap, it is suposed to have an edge on it but some are shaped like a sloping hill. you need to get a thin file or something and make that hill look like a cliff on the side that the strap touches, just put a edge on it.do this on all 6 straps and it should tighten up real good.

Wow, i got this gas mask in PERFECT condition! No residue, scuffs, or anything, filter wasn't sealed but looked brand new otherwise, voice box works well, smelled of fresh rubber, also mine has no problem with fogging up, like some others have said, i also plan on getting the 60 mm to 40 mm adapter and NATO filters, but this thing does what it should do, seals to face, full field of view, GREAT bag, over all great buy, i suggest for any collector or airsoft/paintballer. Great price, Great Product, thanks again Cheaper Than Dirt

this is by far the best value that i have ever seen when it comes to gasmasks, you can pay up to 400-500 dollars for a gas mask, this comes sealed in a plastic bag and the mask comes in a very durable bag with some accessories such as a disinfectant, and some cloth and a baggie of paper towels. like i said an excellent value for any day to day use. i use it when the wife cooks haha

The mask came in excellent condition with everything included that is needed for maintaining the mask. The only problem i had with it is the straps occasionally come loose, but it will be easy enough to fix

I ordered two of these. The ones I received looked new/unissued and were clean. They seal good and I ordered the 3 pack of POD filters too, they look great, haven't opened them yet though. Nice cheap item to keep handy in the car.

I love this thing. The bag is worth the 10$ alone. The mask works for every thing from painting, to cleaning the cat box, to surviving the zombie invasion. I have never been happier.

As advertised and then some. Bag that the unit comes in is great--sectioned off on one side for the mask, a separate compartment for the filter (still sealed), as well as smaller pockets containing a decontamination kit. Yes, the included instructions are in Finnish, which is to be expected as it is advertised as a "Finnish Gas Mask" with a 60mm filter fitting (Thus I don't understand why some marked it down a bullet for that). Mask itself is in good condition save for some scuffs and some dried water droplets on the eye pieces. Other than that, the mask seals as it's supposed to do. No complaints.

This mask came in new condition, doesnt look like it has had any use except some light scuffs and scratches on the rubber, which could just be from being moved around in storage. Looks like all of the pieces are there, just dont know exactly what everything is because the instructions are in foreign languages. Definitely a good deal, ive seen these go in surplus stores for more. 4 bullets because of the instructions, nonadjustable strap and an odd size filter.

I bought FIVE of these. All came in the excellent bags. All were in great shape. No dry rot or the white substance others talk about was there. I only got one SEALED filter out of the Five. And they were all from the 80's. But I am not using these filters anyway. I got the adapters to use NATO filters. For the price this is a great bargain to be ready for whatever. I am extremely satisfied. Thank You CTD

I bought two, one for myself and one for my wife, just in case. Both came with the new sealed filter, full instructions in Finnish, what a web translation site tells me is "cleaning powder", and what appear to be cleaning pads. Not that I needed either, since it was clearly new: clean, did not stink from use, etc. Good seal around my bald noggin: if I cover the filter hole and adjust the straps properly, I get no air and the mask de-pressurizes. Straps stay where you put them. I was just in a surplus store here in town, and they have this same mask for $50, so this is definitely a good deal.

adding to my last comment, after some research I've found that I was sent the 2nd gen model of the M61, while the 3rd gen is the one CTD has pictured. So apparently, I was sent the wrong mask? That or an unwritten "product may vary from photo" applies. Either way, since you can't return these I'm not sure if I want to buy another & just get the 2nd gen again..

As most others have said: the bag is worth the $. Mine also came with the tube of soap & sani-wipes, though the filter and mask were just in the (canvas) bag, not in sealed plastic bags like my OM10 came in. Needless to say, there was a good amount of dry-rot I had to clean off, but after a soak and a scrub it smelled fresh again. None of the rubber seemed to have deteriorated too badly. I definitely don't think this was in "new" condition, but no more than lightly used. Coulda popped my eyes out during the seal test, and the straps definitely put up with some punishment while tightening. One minor thing, though, the front of my mask has no voicebox? Just the rubber exhale-not-inhale flap & a little round cap for it. That big, black, square, screwed-in piece is completely absent from mine. Also, the bag has a black "SA" stamped on the front, where in the photo (easier seen enlarged) the voicebox has a little emblem that matches the outlined stitching right in the middle of the flap on the bag (looks like a rook chess piece). The missing piece is the reason for 3 bullets..

I bought one as a test since the price was so low and mine came in excellent condition. Like others have said, buy a 60mm to 40mm adapter so you can use current issue canisters.

I've purchased both this mask and the MLT-9104 Czech OM10 model, and here are some notes on the differences between the two: The bags: Finnish by a mile. The Finnish bag is made of sturdy canvas with quick release snaps on the outside, a couple of sewn in compartments on the inside held shut with a canvas flap that snaps closed with regular metal snaps. Feels good, looks good, and it will probably be my next caving bag. Next CTD order might include a few more Finnish masks just for the bags and give the gas masks away. The OM10's bag is waterproofed, has two separate compartments, and is slightly larger. The major point loss comes from the hard to use snaps on both compartments and the flimsy feeling straps. They look and feel like they're made from duct tape and the clips and slide are made of plastic. Neither bags are essential to the value of the mask, but it's just a little added bonus. The masks: Comfort: OM10. Fits my face better (your mileage may vary), less resistance on the exhale. I wear glasses, and neither will fit, but there's more room in the front of the OM10 if you want to mount an old pair then. You might also be able to slip the lenses between Ease of use: Finnish by a mile. A child could figure out how to attach the filter, and if you get your hands on extra filters, they can be replaced without taking the mask off. The OM10 requires jamming it into the inside of the mask, fumbling with plastic snaps to keep it in place, and then screwing the one-way vents on to the outside. Quality of filtering: I don't have the equipment to compare, but the gut reaction leans to the Finnish model. The fact that it comes with neutralization chemicals and wipes makes me think that it was more optimized for serious threats. I wouldn't trust either for NBC, but the odds of that are low enough that worrying about it is a waste. I'm much more likely to need it for things like smoke, or cleaning out a moldy basement, and would trust both of them equally. For use as a costume/airsoft/paintball accessory: OM10. The Finnish mask looks weird without the filter, and unless you want to cut it open and take the filter material out of the cartridge, it's hard to breathe while moving around. The OM10 can be used without the filters, and the design of it is such that it's easy to remove the one-way valves but keep the fittings in place. Caveat: I bought the Finnish mask for a costume, but I needed the specific look and I'm going to retrofit it for comfort. Both get 5 out of 5, because both offer a good deal for the value. Pick whichever one suits you, or just get both. If I ordered another, it'll be the Finnish mask, simply because of the bag. If I order a dozen, it'll be the OM10 simply because I'm a cheep bastard.

The product arrived in perfect condition with all pieces included as well as a great bag as mentioned in other reviews. I will look for the 60mm to 40 mm converters and buy new filters, but in all, a great buy. Thank you for another pleasant order process CTD.

Good stuff. excelent condition and quality. I ordered 2 and both were in great condition. Good buy well worth it.

60mm filters are hard to find but i think it works very well

I bought four and of course had difficulty finding 60mm filters. I bought 60mm to 40 mm adapters off of Ebay at a very low cost that lets me use 40mm filters on this mask. They work great.

60mm filters are very difficult to find. These would make a great Halloween mask. Don't think they'd save your life.

I ordered two masks that I recieved yesterday. Both masks where in awsome condition and both sealed great. The one bag was brand new and the other was gently used but close to new condition. For the quality you can't beat the price!!!

DON'T BUY THIS it was soooooooooo dirty the filters were from the 70's the back strap didn't come with it and it was all around horrible this thing is probably worth 1 penny if that

This Is A Great Deal For The Price..Needed Alil Cleaning..But For What It Is And What You Pay..Cant Beat It! I'll Probley Get A Couple More

I ordered two of these things. One was severely oxidized (covered in heavy white dry rot dust) and the other was only somewhat oxidized. Neither of them looked like they aged well in storage. So, you will need to clean these things down with some wet rags. But after you do that they will look fine. One filter was from 1985 and the other is very scary and is from 1968. The older filter had some very bad deteriation with the chemicals changing and turning a rust brown. Looks very unsafe. I have no intention on using the old filters, but I highly doubt that mask with the 1968 filter was unissued. You will need to buy adapters for these masks. You need to find a 60mm to 40mm adapter that you can pick up for about $5 each. That way you can buy new MSA 40mm filters that WILL protect you. As long as these masks aren't cracked, the straps are still strong and the seals around the mask hold then they look to be perfectly safe to use once you buy a new filter.

New to CheaperThanDirt, and I must say, what a great first purchase! Obviously new condition, it still smelt like fresh rubber. Great bag to, as everyone has mentioned. Will be great for airsoft/halloween, at least, as I'll save the cannister just in case. Thanks CTD!

I picked this up just for the bag to be honest. The mask seems good enough for $10. Not something you would want to use on a regular basis but would work in an emergency. The bag is solid and made out of canvas. It was much larger than I expected. Some nice pouches on the inside for holding whatever you want. For $10 this is a sweet deal.

I took a gross human anatomy class in which we dissected cadaveric specimens and the fumes were awful! I didn't want to pay $30 for a painter's mask that wouldn't cover my eyes in addition to providing vapor relief. The mask worked great! It was cheaper than the other masks my classmates purchased and it kept the fumes from burning my eyes. Highly recommend.

I got them in and they are great. There in like new condition and hope to never use them but you never know this day and age. I rather be prepared and rather be safe than sorry.

The white powder is a "Cleaning Agent" and is used to neutralize gas droplets on your skin. The instructions basically say that you should 1. Soak up gas droplets with wads, do not rub or spread, 2. Sprinkle powder on contaminated area, press with wads moistened with water, 3. Irrigate area with water, 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3. This gas mask is meant to protect against pyrotechnic attacks, nuclear attacks, and gas attacks. The instructions do not specifically say it's for biological attacks but I'll bet it's better than a wet hanky anyday! Vic B.

I got mine about a week ago. I see it as a collectors item or halloween costume, because most of the filters if not all are expired for this mask, which could actually be toxic for you. Like new condition, 4-5 day shipping period, but the only reason I gave it 4 bullets was because they didn't give me the Finnish version in the picture. I got the M9, which is an older version that doesn't have the voicebox. I believe the one in the picture is an M61, but since they aren't really dependable I don't really want to try and exchange a mask for basically a replica of the same thing. Hope this helps.

Just got this thing and as the others have said the bag itself is worth like $15. Has a shoulder strap and a waist strap for more secure carrying and a couple separate pocket compartments inside. Its made of a sturdy, jean-like material and very rugged. Also came with the instruction manual (in Finnish), a tube of some powdery substance with 1-6 steps in Finnish, and a couple plastic bags of cotton wipes and the such. The mask itself is a very snug fit and can breathe just fine. I gave it 4 stars only because the instructions are in Finnish, but this IS a Finnish-made mask. The booklet has a date on the back of 1984 which is older than me but my only gripe is I can't seem to find a translation of it online.

This is such a great deal. I bought two of them because i thought it would be good to have in case they are needed. I figured they were cheap enough just to get and if they did not work, at least they came with a bag. The bag is well worth the money alone as many others have stated, but this was the best deal ever!

Great Value, I cannot believe the condition this is in considering the instructions included (in Finnish) are dated 1981. It could have been manufactured yesterday and I wouldn't have known the difference. I ordered 3 and got them all overnight. Very very pleased! Also like everyone else has said the bag included is fantastic and well worth the price all by itself.

The bag is worth the money. Like new condition, excellent fit. For the price this is worth it if you only intend to use it as a halloween costume. Every collector should by one just for nostalgia purposes. My 15 y/o is having a ball with it.

THIS THING IS AWSOME!!! every time my wife lets a good one go i put this on and all i smell is perfect fresh air and i love it i bought 3 one for me and 2 for my kids....

the bag is really good quality with some extra pockets inside, mine came with a bottle of powder for I don't know what because the instructions are'nt in english, but the gas mask fits great and is air tight and the whole package is just great, probably the coolest thing I have bought of CTD and at the same time one of the cheapest.

At first I was skeptical, at the price for all of this? Yet when it first arrived I was blown away by the fact that just the bag was worth the ten bucks spent! Now, first of all I love the bag. I spend a lot of time in the woods where I try to carry a few basics for those 'just in case situations'. After using a knife to cut through the seams on the little dividing peace in the bag I found myself really liking the bag because first I could hold my schoolbooks for when I went down to college. Now what I like even more is the waste wrap it also has on it. This little strap will go around your waist and clip onto the bag to allow you to run with it without the bag flailing around. You can easily put in a water bottle, small firstaid kid, basic survival tools, and a handgun with some ammunition with this little bag with a few meal replacement bars in between. Amazing bag. Second was the gas mask. First it looked pretty awesome so just for a prop novelty item its totally worth it. Second it works! Yet sadly all I've been able to test it on was pepper spray and home made gas that was kept out by the filter and I was able to sit in the midst of it without being bothered. So for the basics it should work and maybe then some. As for the filters I've found some for 10-15 bucks a piece. Converters for another 10. So if you ever need another one just buy another gas mask! I'm sure somebody wouldn't mind having one with a dead filter in it just for a novelty item and plus you get another bag. So for price this is amazing!

bought one of these and i must say.Coolest price ive ever spent. This is the real thing not some little toy. Bag it came in is great. looks better than the picture provided by cheaper than dirt. came with a whole bunch of stuff inside the bag. This is great for a halloween outfit or just to creep your friends out!Buy with confidence you wont regret it!

I purchased two of these masks and one of the OM-10 masks, and I'm very pleased with both types. The Finnish and Czech masks seal fine on my face, the Finnish masks come with a great bag and some accessories (I got the OM10 without the bag after reading the reviews), and they both come with filters. The Czech OM10 mask is heavier and seems more substantial than the Finnish mask; the Finnish mask is lighter and smaller. It also took about 15-20 minutes to get the cheek filters installed in the OM10, while the cannister-type filter used by this mask just screws on in a few seconds. I also like the ability to use current-issue NATO filter cannisters with this mask, with the use of an adapter which is sold elsewhere on the net. The OM10 eyepieces are bigger, but not enough to make a huge difference. I the OM10 because it comes with a second set of eyepieces, which I plan to use to attach an old pair of eyeglass lenses to the mask since I'm pretty much blind with out them. The only thing that I wasn't happy with is that one of the filter cartriges for a Finnish mask is dented and looks like it's been used. In short, I think these are a great deal for whatever purpose you have in mind. Since they are airtight, they should be a good choice to use with current NATO filters if you are concerned about the age of the filters. Just get the 60mm to 40mm adapter on Ebay or Maine Military.

I'm quite pleased with it, the mask came in 4 days great bag cleaning stuff and all just like everyone else says. the mask has a double seal, one around your mouth and one around face so your breathing doesn't fog up your lenses, unless your face is to small for the inner seal (like me) but because its too small for the second seal to fit whenever i inhale the cool incoming air defogs the lenses and most importantly the outer seal is airtight keeping the intended purpose of the mask.

This mask is awesome! It comes with a bag, Instructions(NOT in English), Radiation powder, And some cleaning pads. My mask was dated 09/94, And the filter was dated 1987. The mask was in great shape as was the bag. The mask forms a tight fit around your face, And I tried breathing hard for a few minutes to see if the lenses would fog up and they diden't. But if you plan to use this mask for anything but display or novelty, You have to get an adapter for it to accept the NATO 40mm thread, They do not make the 60mm thread filters anymore. I found an adapter on eBay for $3 and it gets a TIGHT fit. I was thinking about getting the OM10 mask because I like the looks alot better, But they do not make filters for that mask anymore, So I chose this one because it's the same price, And I'm glad I chose this mask. Bottom line, If you want a great mask that will accept the same filters they still use today9With an adapter), And without paying more for the other mask's, Get this one, I will be ordering a few more myself.

I Bought this mask and I must say its a good deal for $10. The mask still has a full air tight seal around your face which is impressive for being so old. The filter itself however (while it is still sealed) is too old to offer any protection and can possibly be harmful to your lungs to use. If you want to use this mask for protection your going to have to buy a modern filter and 60mm to 40mm adapter to use the modern filter. The bag is in great condition, and I've currently use it for various things. I did have to wash out the bag cause it smelled like mold and rubber but thats no big deal.

Do not be afraid to buy this mask. The bag is great. The mask is top notch. Sealed fine on my face. As I need glasses BADLY any gas mask will suck to wear if I need it. I can see ok without my glasses in the mask I guess. I don't know of any mask that you could use your glasses with. I found a guy on ebay who sells canadian made 40mm to 60mm adaptors for a buck or two each. These masks are a great value. I have one for every member of the family plus am ordering more to stash in our cars. At this price you deserve what ever happens to you if an NBC event happens and you were too cheap or stupid to prepare.

I have several of these masks and they are excellent. I have most of the posts and wonder why some of these people even bought them. If you would not trust your life to them....why did you buy them ??? If something really happens how long can you hold your breath? I would have no problem using these to get out of ANY situation. I tried to use a Finnish to English translation site to get some info on the powder in the container and from what I can determine it's some kind of decon powder. Use clean the area of wet contamination and then use this last....I can't guarantee that for sure since the word translation is a little sketchy, but if someone could get some English instructions that would be great.

I'm very satisfied with my purchase of two of these. Good quality masks and as others have said, a great bag, too. Buy now and resell after the next big "scare" or keep a handful for your family. It's hard to go wrong at this price.

Wow what a great deal fast brand new mask and filter with good condition carry bag... thanks five stars

This mask is amazing I work with the Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue division. I bought this mask as others Ive seen have been super expensive and the seals werent as good as others. I bought this one just to play around with and see if I like it cause its cheap. We tested it with OC spray (pepper spray) and it worked awesome and I have a really bad reaction with that stuff didnt feel a thing moved on to tear gas and again no problems. The mask has an awesome fit and seems to hold up great I bought another one to use on duty. Cant beat the price

AS PEOPLE HERE SAY THE BAG ALONE WOULD BE WORTH THE MONEY. I HAVE SEVERAL OTHER MASKS INCLUDING THE ISRAELI M-15. I HAVE TROUBLE GETTING A SEAL WITH THE M-15, BUT AS SOON AS I PUT THIS MASK ON IT SEALED TO MY FACE. IT'S ALSO COMFORTABLE TO WEAR. PEOPLE HERE SAY THE PROBLEM IS FINDING REPLACEMENT FILTERS, HOWEVER I FOUND SEVERAL SITES THAT SELL REPLACEMNT 60MM FILTERS AND SEVERAL THAT SELL 60MM TO 40MM CONVERTERS FOR THIS MASK. I ALSO HAVE THE OM-10 MASK AND IT ALSO SEALS WELL. WHY IS IT THE EXPENSIVE MASKS ARE HARD TO GET A GOOD SEAL BUT THE LESSER PRICED ONES SEAL WELL AND ARE COMFORTABLE? AN EXPENSIVE MASK WON'T DO YOU ANY GOOD IF YOU CAN'T GET IT TO SEAL ON YOUR FACE! BUY SEVERAL OF THESE MASKS FOR THE SAME PRICE!

These work great. My filter was never used before I used it. I put it on and walked into a gas filled room, I was fine. It works.

I thought about this for a while and see if this makes sense. The mask with a filter is $10. If you are worried about getting more filters just buy another mask for $10. If you bought a mask with which you could buy new filters for it, the filters are $15 minimum. So I bought four masks. 1 to use and three for extra filters. 4 masks, 4 filters, $40. You can't beat it. If you need extra filters just buy a bunch of masks...

I bought four of these masks. After a thorough inspection, of all of them I found all were in excellent condition. The bags are great too. Filter replacements are the main problem, hard to find.

For $10, this mask is a good deal. With the great carrying bag, it's a heck of a deal. But as many have said in previous comments, the expired filter probably shouldn't be trusted for NBC protection, and it's nearly impossible to find replacements for the 60mm filter. Apparently, there's an adapter for sale out there to allow standard NATO 40mm filters to be used with this mask. Now that CTD is selling Israeli masks for $15, those are probably the way to go (they use 40mm filters) - except that they don't come with this great bag. Anyway, with either the Finnish or Israeli mask, you're looking at unused but expired filters that may or may not protect you properly. But for the price, these make great bug-out masks since some protection is better than none.

I bought all 3 mask and liked this one the best. It fits great is simple comes with a few cool extras and the carrying bag isn't junk. I must have IMO.

Awesome mask. Works well and fits great! :-)

Ordered the mask just days ago - and already got it... Its in great condition and for the price you cant argue! It will go great with my Charcoal chem suit! Just another piece to the collection! Ill be ordering more soon ~ Thanks CTD

The powder is soap, as stated by jeepster99. But the reason it is there is because in the event of being exposed too nuclear radiation. You are supposed too thoroughly wash any skin that was exposed too the radiation, once at a safe distance. So (God forbid) you are in a nuclear radiated area. USE THE DANG SOAP! It could save your life.

I bought the mask for a little nostalgia and possibly for halloween. It brand new and feels very cool to wear. I even tested it out in the bathroom! The bag it came with is nice and it has a few small pockets inside a couple of which contained a large cloth, a bunch of small cloths in a bag (patches?), and a big jar containing white powder labeled "PUHDISTUSAINE" with some directions in a foreign language. Very cool purchase for the price!

I bought this for screwing around with rockets. (I figure rocket exhaust isn't too good to breath.) Great deal: Mask, cleaning kit, and bag for $10!!! Its a great mask. I don't know if I would trust my life with it, but Its fun to screw around with.

This is a really good deal. The mask doesn't quite seal on my face, but I have a fairly small face, so it's not a fault of the mask. My only qualm about the mask itself is that the bottom two straps are a little loose, and I can't wear my glasses under it. Also, as stated previously, the bag itself is worth the ten dollars. I use mine for my school books, and I'm talking about thick college textbooks, and the bag has held up for well over a year of abuse.

You cant beat the price, went to a local gun show and found the same mask for $29 without the carrying bag.The mask itself forms a great seal around my face and the carrying bag its great for multiple applications

I just received this gas mask. For $10, it is as good as my $35 israeli/german mask. Works well, very clean, cool carrying-bag, GREAT PRICE!!!

Just opened it up, in fact I'm typing with it on. Great product and it has a good seal and the filter fits and looks to be undamaged. The bag is great and is worth the price of the bag. This mask is great!!!!! Buy one today, you won't be dissapointed.

I received the mask today and have to say I am very impressed! I think this mask would offer valuable protection from tear gas and radioactive dust, but don't count on biological protection. This was more of a gag gift purchase but it offers real protection. I don't like the fact the filter isn't standard, but I'm not going to complain for the price. The bag alone would be worth $10.00 in my book, so overall I would say it's a definite buy!

the mask is a little bit small (im 6'4" 280 lbs) , but in a pinch works fine. the instructions are in finnish, but the "mystery white powder" is detergent or a.k.a. soap.thats it no more no less... use it to clean your mask as bacteria build up from your breath and saliva, to do the laundry or take a bath. all in all the mask works ok enough for normal stuff you wouldn't want to breath but as mentioned if you want real nbc protection you better get an isreali mask or wait for the military to give you one when the $#!t hits the fan. p.s. the bag is awesome.

I have read that this mask doesn't reach all of the safety recs so if you are going to use this mask for its actual use then you might get a few lung fulls of tear gas.

i used this exact mask in the service many years ago. 12 guys and a CS grenade in a pitch dark 15x15 room for half an hour... :) the air was so full of CS that the skin felt like on it was fire but face and respiratory system was just fine thanks to the mask. contrary to what others have stated i believe this mask to be every bit as good for a live nbc situation as a current issue mask. the only real problem is the non-standard threading, but for a civilian, a single can should be enough to get out of harms way and otherwise you are probably out of luck anyway.

Man, these were so much better than I expected. And yes, the bag is easily worth the price of the mask. Brand new condition, the mask works perfectly, and came with cleaning cloths and some powder in a plastic bottle. I suspect it is some sort of rubber conditioner, but who knows. The bag was high quality canvas and would be a great shell bag or storage bag. Very pleased and as always, can't beat the price.

I recently picked up 3 of these from CTD & I think they're great. All the seals appear to be intact & in overall good shape. The filters are DEFINITELY expired but I ordered some 60mm-to-40mm adapters I found online so the masks can be retrofitted w/current NATO filters. Even with 40mm filters, I don't think I'd trust these in the event of a full on NBC attack but perhaps CS/tear gas and hazards to that effect. Even if you're just looking for a gag gift or costume, this is it!

while this mask is of an outdated type(copy of 1950s u.s. m9)and filters are not easily found,it is excellent for chores like painting,pesticides,or cleaning stables,good bargain..

WOW ten bucks im glad i got two, these are brand new and great well worth the money.

I ordered this last week due to the price and the reviews and let me tell you, its AWESOME! It was quick on shipping, came brand new in a plastic bag and in the carrying bag. Fits nice and snug, comes with some other goodies that get issued, (comes with powder substance patches and the like) however i cant read dutch so im not sure what the powder is for. Anyways, if your looking for a good gasmask for novelty wear or just to mess around its a great buy!

I ordered this mask based on the reviews of how great the bag was. I'm not disappointed with either the bag or the mask. Thought I would give it a test drive for laughs; but found that holding straight ammonia up to the breather didn't let even the faintest fume inside. Couldn't read Finnish, but did some dry runs timing myself on getting the thing on & in place. Easier than a couple I've tried in the past. Couldn't be happier with this item.

I bought four [one for each of my family members]. They are brand new and come in a great pouch. Worth every penny!

the mask was a little small, but sealed okay. i wear large frame glasses, and they prevented the mask from sealing unless i actually pressed the mask against my face with my hands. i plan to buy the filter adapters an earlier reviewer mentioned, and set this mask back for a family member that doesn't wear glasses. you cannot beat the price of this mask, even when you add the cost of the adapter. i don't recommend this for small kids, but due to the smallish size, this should fit those in their early to mid teens very well. (for costume purposes... if you are worried about an actual nbc attack, buy a modern israeli kid size mask.)

As others have already noted the bag is worth 10 bucks alone. It's almost like the mask is just gravy. The bag is quite large and of a fairly light canvas with a large flap that secures with two pushbutton type clasps. Inside there are several pockets along the side that are covered by one large buttoned flap. The rest is an open section where the mask stays and a small divider that keeps the filter can in place. The bag has a shoulder loop and a waistband, a feature I wish more shoulder bags had. You can run and walk with this bag with out it flopping around, you can even lean over. It just stays in place. I think they'd make a great 'get home bag' for the trunk. The mask it self is spiffy as well. The reality is that you shouldn't buy this with the expectation of using it in a real NBC attack. While they are probably all in great shape, if you don't have back up filters and a full suit/hood, the mask doesn't really gain you much. Any real NBC threat can get you through exposed skin as well as your lungs. A mask is better then nothing, but be realisitic about your plans. If you want real protection, the Israeli M15 mask on this site is probably the cheapest option, but there are full NBC solutions out there if you want to spend the money. The mask would, however, be fine for teargas or nasty chemical fumes. I bought mine as a sort of costume piece, and in that job it's perfect. These masks are very comfortable, have excellent visibility and don't give that feeling of claustrophobia the old Russian styles did (and those are even more useless for protection). They also look, and sound, like what people expect a gas mask to. And they are made by Nokia. Buy it for the mask, love it for the bag. I pray that CTD finds a bunch of the bags and sells them for 5 bucks each. What a perfect world that would be.

Upon further inspection of the mask I discovered that the problem I was having was due to such a tight seal on the intake valve cover (small orange disk that allows to breathe in through filter but not out) which was sealed so well (probably due to unissued condition) that I had to first kinda push it in with my finger but now that I did that it works like a charm. Great buy!

I purchased two of these due to the price. It was worth it just for the bag, if nothing else! Upon receiving them I opened one up to test it. Great, solid seal, six straps to keep snug, comfortable fit, and easy to breathe through. I was so impressed with this mask that I wore it nearly all day, and even after adventuring the eyepieces never fogged up, and I wasn't left with discomfort around the jaw as some other masks have done in the past. Great buy!

i just ordered 2 of these. i wasnt going to but for the price i decided i cant go wrong. these masks surpassed my expectations. they look cheesy but i got a wonder fit. the bag it comes with is a bonus. it doesnt have that rubber strap rip your hair out effect either definetly worth a look and a buy.

The adapters for this mask to go from 60m to 40mm can be found at mainemilitary.com for a bargain basement price of a dollar a piece.Learned of this from Mark Koernkes program on wtprn.com radio. Good Luck DTNWO

Just got this today. Although the instruction booklet is in Finnish, it's not that hard to figure out the mask. The bag is sturdy, and the mask itself is comfortable but still forms a good seal. The only downside I can see is that the threads are 60mm, but at the price these are selling for you can just buy another one for the filter, if you need it.

This is a heck of a deal for only $10. The heavy canvas bag is fairly large and worth the purchase price in itself. The filter is new. The mask is probably about a medium. It is a little small on my face but still big enough to seal properly. This mask is perfect for CS gas/ tear gas situations. As for biological type stuff, Im sure its better than nothing. There is no outer skin. It is basically the same as the underskin of the current militery masks without the black outer skin. Awesome buy for the money and I will be buying one for each member of my family.

The mask that I ordered was a step above the rest. I previously ordered a different mask for the same price from a different site and was very unpleased with it. I was skeptical on buying this mask but went for it. it works very well. I work with many chemicals and this mask blocks them all.

I got 2 and will get 2 more. These are great for the price. Never know when you need one and if it is a true time of need I can give out a couple to my love ones. Great bag to. Seals good and seems sturdy.

I DID A FULL CK OUT (/) RUN DOWN ON THIS GAS MASK AND I GOT TO SAY IT PASS WITH FLYING COLORS , FOR THE PRICE YOU CAN BUY A FEW MORE FOR THE FILTERS ONLY AND ADAPT OTHER FILTERS FOR THINGS LIKE PAINTING TO THE OTHER ONES , I HAVE ONE IN EACH CAR YOU NEVER KNOW , FOR THE PRICE WHY TAKE A CHANCE .........THANK YOU CHEAPER THAN DIRT KEEP UP THE GREAT !!!!! WORK !!!!! SCOTT

this is the best 1 i've found, it worx great, i wuldnt want to wear it for a long period of time or thro neurotoxins, but otehrwise its great for 10$

This is probably NOT the mask you want to trust your life to when wandering radioactive wastelands or being subjected to dangerous neurotoxins. That's a bit too much to ask from a $10 mask. It might work, or it might not, and it's probably better than nothing, but there's no guarantee. However, I have acquired several of these masks (which, I believe, are patterned on the US M9 mask from the Korean War era c. 1952), and they all seem to provide good fit, good seals, and ample protection from OC-type tear gas and similar irritants, which are handy if you need to use some personal defense spray to protect your home and don't feel like breathing it yourself. The side-mounted filter allows right-handers a good cheek weld to the shoulder stocks of long arms should you need to up your level of response while wearing this mask in a self-defense or tactical situation. For ten bucks, especially if you need more than one, I'd say this mask represents a substantial value for anyone whose needs are limited in scope as described above.

Very nice quality. Very nice fit. Super fast and easy to put on. Although they do have the older 60mm NATO threads, it will serve its purpose if needed and I'm sure one could figure out a way to use an old 60mm filter in combination with a current 40mm filter if necessary. Besides, if you aren't out of harms way in the amount of time this mask gives, you're more than likely done for anyway. :) For the price you cannot go wrong!!

I purchased this mask and was happy with the initial quality of the product. The mask is a great fit and the bag is very nice. The bag is kind of like the M-15 gas mask bag but larger. The one HUGE downfall to this mask is that it does not take the standard 40mm Nato filter. It takes the older 60mm filter which, from what I can find out on the web has not been used since the 60's. So unless you know of some adapter out there, this is going to be strictly a novelty item since 60mm filters are few and far between. Its not listed in the description, but mine came with a clear plastic container with a white powder inside. After doing some research and translating, it appears to be a type of detergent.
