Do you guys have any connections for MOPP gear that we can group buy on?
What's the ratings? I was looking at some through our wholeseller yesterday.
I'm talking about masks.
Really? It'll state what it will filter out. Chemical, biological, radiological, etc. Most have the NATO universal filter on them.Quote:

I've done some searches, but this doesn't look like an item our "normal" distributors carry. I will keep poking around.
If you can provide me with specific manufacturers, that would also help us out greatly...
Do you mean N95 mask?Quote:

You can buy them in boxes of 25 at lowes cheap. Get em now while they are still on the shelves. Fortunately we have a decent supply on hand here already.Quote:

I looked at some prices for reputable gas masks, on second thought, I might just use my beard.
Exactly, or the equivalent. I use OM10's currently, but there's been some dispute about their effectiveness.Quote:

Dont forget the tyvek suits and gloves....good latex gloves can protect against a lot of things, if you remember to not contaminate yourself when taking them off !
What about the Israeli masks. They accept the 40mm universal filters which are fairly cheap.
dishdoc sent me a site a while back that showed which masks were ineffective to substances besides OC and gas. Pretty sure they were on there as no-go's.Quote:

I'm on the same steep part of the curve that YF is on.
Well, as it pertains to gas masks. I know lotto tickets don't work.
While I like milsurp stuff (a lot), milsurp masks scare me (a lot). Does some system exist for testing the mask and is it something us mere mortals can do?
I think the protocol involves buffalo burgers and a tent...........
Unfortunately all of the above listed masks can be defeated by Dale's toxic gas cloud.
Making me more deadly than Ebola, AIDS, and the magical 45ACP.Quote:

But what about the disease or chemical getting into the mucous membrane of the eye ball?Quote:

I was issued the N95 masks by the CERT team for wearing during SAR building searches.Quote:

I've tried quite a few masks and ended up buying MSA millennium masks for the wife and I. They don't fog up because of the way the fresh air circulates. They also have a drinking tube and comms. Also purchased were a case of CBRN filters.
I think it would be a good idea to have some of you guys that are serious about a comfortable and efficient mask try different masks before making a purchase.
I've got a medium and a large MSA millennium.
Maybe meet up so you can check them out along with jafars om10 and whatever anyone else has.
Comfort while wearing it for extended Times and the level of protection are key points.
Don't get put off by the price because you can find them on e-bay for under $100.
The old saying"you get what you pay for" applies more than you know.
There are some pretty uncomfortable masks out there.
Yeah right, ya'll ain't putting your greasy mugs and dead coon breath up in my mask. :cool:
Eeeeeee Bowl Laaaa
