Original Military surplus Romanian Army M85 Gas Mask

The M85 is a licensed derivative of the German M65 gasmask. It partially replaced the M74 in service however the M74 is still in production while the M85 isn't.

The mask is made of an olive green chemically resistant neoprene rubber featuring two rounded triangular eye pieces, a round exhale valve, an orinasal cup that prevents mask from fogging, and a STANAG 4155 threaded inlet located on the chin of the mask. The mask was issued with a CF-4, or nowadays with a CFS filter and a vinyl haversack which is attached to the wearers belt and slung over the shoulder. Some masks were even issued with a hose which connected the mask to its filter.

The model M85, is used in environments with a minimum of 17% oxygen in the air for individual protection of the respiratory tract, eyes and face against toxic substances in the form of gases, vapors or aerosols, together with a filter appropriate to the noxious agent and its concentration.

This M85 gasmask comes with a hydration system tube and improved straps as well as a vinyl carry bag.

These masks are sold as a display/collectors item with NO guarantee about chemical resistance and are popular for the avid military collector, fancy dress costumes, movie and theatre productions and props.

Please note: These are original military surplus therefore there may be some colour, quality and style variation to the image shown. Items are picked at random and no two gasmasks are exactly the same.
