Military Surplus Czech M10M Gas Mask With Straw

I purchased two...filters arent that bad to install (watch youtube video)...but one of them was very old (rubber was dried out and drinking tube was broken inside of mask!) I guess for the money, it's ok, but remember these only protect you from CS/CN tear gas ONLY, NOT NUCLEAR/BIOLOGICAL! purchase at your own risk! Extra filters were factory sealed ones, but I cannot attest to what you will receive.

Is nice but is way to dirty

I bought this mask for ZERT training and was pleased with the near new condition it came in. The cheek filters take a bit of skill to get in place properly. Came with the drinking straw that attaches to the US military canteens with the gas mask cap. I tested the straw and it works. Good flow for drinking. The included bag is a rubber coated cloth. Not as sturdy as I like but still works. Came with two sets of filters that are out of date so I wouldn't trust it for anything other than cs gas. Upon inspection one set was leaking charcoal out so I had to dispose of the set but the second was fine. The straps are cloth and don't pull my hair. Even with a 2 week beard it still sealed on my face. This is a great collector item or for protecting from dust (cheaper than most dust respirators) but it is NOT for NBC use. Nobody makes new filters for this mask. But for what I use it for it's great

Hey everyone, I got one of these for Christmas and liked so much that I bought two more. A few things I wanted to mention about these is that as stated in the product description that they may function as intended. Well, for starters mine did. The fiberglass filters, although expired worked in mine. I use my first one as a dust mask/respirator for my house. It does protect against fumes from household chemicals and from dust particles. If you are in need of a good respirator but, you don't have the money to get an overpriced 3M one. These will do great. One thing to keep in mind is that all of the components fit like a glove. If one thing is out of place you will not get a good seal and may not get the desired function of the mask. So, if you buy one check on you tube on how to properly assemble it. If you see someone assembling it with filters on the outside, they are putting them on wrong. The filters go inside the mask. The filters are cheap too. Get a bunch of them while they are still available. Once they are gone they're gone forever. Hope this clarifies some things.

The mask is in great condition, you can tell it set a bit and it needed cleaning. After cleaning it inside and out I put it together and the seals are all good, definitely being put in the spot light of my office!

Just received my third mask and extra filters. The filters are mylar-packaged, and still have a good vacuum seal, and the date is stamped 1988, so it's not a 1960's product as some people have said. These masks should be adequate protection from dust storms, riot gas, volcanic ash, and a certain amount of radioactive particle fallout (the larger pieces only). Far better than a bandana or typical facemask that leaves the eyes unprotected. Good to have around. The filters are difficult to install, but they keep a very tight seal. Get over it, whiners.

I asked for this mask for xmas from my grandmother, and it came very nice. When I opened it the mask and accessories (drinking straw adapter, outsets, filter valves) all came wrapped in plastic bags that were sealed. The outsets are a pain to put on due to the fact that you cannot pull the rubber inside out on the outset like the m40 or m17. The filters are a pain to put in too. The filter system in my opinion is inferior to 40mm nato. The drinking straw on the mask is compatible with its own canteen cap, the US Military Canteen Cap, and the Russian NBC canteen. I would not use this mask for NBC reasons due to its age and the age of the filters. You cannot buy in date filters anymore, and some of the filters do not come vacuum sealed. But the mask and the filters would work fine for riot agents and other Non-lethal things. The mask's build quality is very good compared to Russian masks (Russian masks are notorious for being cheap to make). The rubber is comfortable and the straps are nice elastic with a leather like thing holding all the straps to the back of your head. These masks are very big compared to other NATO and Warsaw Pact masks. Overall this mask is nice, but it would be better if you could buy in date filters for it.

Great mask, but don't get it if you're not willing to deal with the stress of putting the cheeck filters in

These masks were a great surprise for Christmas---the quality of the masks was outstanding. As a training item/novelty they are simply outstanding. I would not bet on them for use with serious NBC agents only owing to their age---NOT for practical reasons I can perceive. They seal just fine. Many great set-up videos are available on Youtube as well. I wish I had access to banana gas or some CS grenades/tabs---I would bet they'd be fine for use against riot gasses and similar non-harmful irritants. The only drawback, a minor one, is that he carrier bags are of inferior quality compared to the masks--but NOS carriers that would work come up for sale quite often (I opted to give them with some UK bags and they presented VERY well in nicer bags---looking as good as any current issue masks until you check the dates of manufacture). I highly recommend these!

It has to be a size large because it is huge. I love that that it comes with lense protectors and extra filters. The bag is cheap material but is big enough to carry an extra mask and water proof. If you have a big head go for this one.

From Masks I have had in the past, these seemed to be awfully inexpensive, but I bought 3 of them anyway. I would bump these up to my Army M-17 mask in a heartbeat ! This Mask is Quality from Get-Go ! I ordered 3 extra pair of filters for them, just because..... At any rate, they clear pretty much same way as the M-17 and fit great if you take time to adjust to fit. But seal was really excellent. I am still stunned that they are this affordable for what they are. Yup, I highly recommend you load up your bug-out bags with some of these masks.

the only problem with them is the filters are hard to get in.

I was a career firefighter for 25 yrs. Every mask i had to wear had rubber straps that would pull the crap out of your hair. this mask works well. have checked it out under extreme conditions.

This mask arrived in like new condition and a most timely fashion. Support straps are as previously posted cloth however, they appear to function in an adequate manner. Cheek filters are a pain just like my old M17. Obtaining a seal and clearing procedures are very similar to the M17. Are the filters functional ? I can't honestly answer that since I don't have any CS to test them with. Overall a great buy and conversation piece.

A previous five star review was very accurate. These things are in awesome condition though the elastic straps seem a little dry. The filters really are a nightmare to install so don't count on this thing in an immediate crisis scenario. But for 12 bucks it's an awesome backup.

I bought an M10 with out the drinking straw a month ago for emergency purposes, I ordered the hood from an M17 as an add on from another site. I purchased this one for doing my large scale insulation work at home as most respirators sold in hardware stores don't come with built in goggles, until I pulled it out of the package and found it's in much better shape and more comfortable. So, I think as this one came with the canteen attachment for the drinking straw, and an extra pair of filters...I'm upgrading this one as my emergency mask and using the other for house work. Also, the lens protectors were attached to the mask upon arrival with a carry bag that is tops. Pros: Very affordable, Very comfortable, mine came with extra filters? Comes with canteen attachment for straw, excellent carry bag, lens covers came installed, all items were in sealed bags upon arrival Cons: None really so far - more of a comment...it took me maybe 7 minutes with my first mask to install the filters, and about 4 minutes with this mask. It can be a bit of a bugger to install them, the difference was the stiffness of the rubber and the ability to stretch it far enough to slip the filter in place. Cleaning the internal portions of all the factory residue and grit was tasking, just use a warm wash cloth with a dab of dish soap.

Although i am not a survivalist or military veteran i still bought the mask to add to a collection. the mask came sealed and it was in perfect condition, no scratches on the lens or any sort of scratching on the filters or filter caps. the filters were a pain to deal with but there are plenty of videos on youtube to help out. The mask is also very comfortable, the straps arent rubber instead they are cloth so they feel very nice. the mask also is fairly large compared to others and it doesnt feel as tight fitting. 10/10 great purchase for 13 dollars.

I love this mask. Filters are a hassle at first, but once you figure out how it works, don't be afraid to use some strength with installing them. Pointing something out also, the "spare goggles" are to cover the real lenses to prevent them from breaking, getting scratched, etc. You cant remove the original lenses without damaging the mask.

had this mask for 4 years now filters still work and everything. I found the canteen adapter useless since the drinking tube also works with us canteens with gas seal lids

i love it its soooooo cool :)
