Polish Gas Mask MP5 With Filter And Transport Bag, Protective Eye Lens, Authentic Military Surplus

The gas mask bag was covered in mold, but with some Lysol it was fixed. The mask itself has a slightly foggy lense that some scrubbing should fix, the filter has expired 20 years ago. But overall the gas mask itself is great, fits perfectly and feels fine.

Lens is completely yellowed over but it can be cleaned with window wipes (see pictures). The rubber/plastic of the mask is aged, hard, and cracked through from nose to chin.

As others have stated, there is a film on the lens which is difficult to completely clean/remove. Not bad for the price though. Storage bag in good shape. Date on the filter is 1999.

Overall this is a nice gas mask. It has a nice, wide field of view and a 6 point harness system with plenty of adjustment possible. However, the plastic is aging. My mask was cracked at the top and the bottom after removal from the packaging. These cracks were around the inner seal where the mask touches your chin and forehead. Eventually, large chunks of the mask broke off.

Great mask in good condition and comfortable. But this mask is a French ARFA not a Polish MP5. Still great mask.

The mask is well made and everything on it work! That in itself is a wonder. It takes a standard NATO 40 mm filter and when I tried it with an old, open filter (I collect gas masks) it worked perfectly. I had to fiddle with the straps a bit to get that perfect fit, but it is a great buy!

They do a pretty good job of getting you the size you want I ordered 2 orders 1 of 2 mask 1 of 3 mask one straw for each order and no canteens come with these masks I've yet to track any down on the internet I haven't tried a u.s. canteen yet overall a hell of a product for the price

The mask came almost new, like advertised, however it had some white colored spots on the outside of the mask, which I kind of expected. However, what wasn't expected was the amount of film on the lens. Thankfully with a bit of rigorous cleaning, the visibility is much better and no longer immensely fogged up. It's good that this mask takes 40mm threaded filters, since I already had a filter opened up from an M65 mask I ordered from this site a long time ago (which is sadly no longer available; the one I own now has a crack in one of its lenses). A good mask, although a little difficult to adjust due to how the adjustments in the straps are handled.

The mask is like new with no signs of wear. The only issue with the mask is that its a bit too small and digs in to my chin. Id say its a medium size mask. I'm 5'11 and wear a 7-1/4" hat for reference. The filter was sealed. The bag looked like it had been through every European war since 1900 with holes in 5 out of 8 corners, unusable unless you don't care about rain and dirt getting in! Im sure this mask comes in different sizes and it would have been nice to know a size in the description budk!

The mask came in fantastic condition, not a scratch anywhere on the carrier, filter, or the mask itself. The rubber straps on the mask are a little difficult to adjust, but once they've been set you should never need to adjust them again. Cleaning the mask is pretty simple with the exception of the panoramic visor, which is not a solid piece of plastic, but some kind of silicone or something similar. The visor gets "smeared" very easily, giving the impression that it is covered in some kind of oil. After cleaning the visor specifically with hot water and vinegar and allowing it to air dry, it seemed to fix this somewhat, though the edges of the visor still appeared slightly smeared. Overall, great quality for the price offered, and the carrier is one of the highest quality ones I've seen. You'd be a fool not to add this to your collection.
