The three masks I ordered had expired filters as of 2005. I wish this
was disclosed in the description because people are staking their lives
on this product if they actually needed to use it (NBC attack or
pandemic). I wish people were informed that these filters have a shelf
life of 5 years, some better filters have 10 years. Unfortunately new
filters are double the cost of this mask, almost $35 each. I will have
to buy 3 new filters for $110 for these masks, otherwise they are
basically useless and even dangerous, false sense of security.
They
are a good deal though, considering just the mask is more expensive
elsewhere and the mask itself seems quality, good fit and comfortable. I
just can't give it more than 2 stars because I am disappointed there is
not full disclosure in the description- I would not expect to ever
receive an expired (shelf life) item when it is sold as "NEW".
If you
decide to buy this mask I would still recommend it, however just expect
to have to buy new filters also (true with all the masks/filters I have
seen on Amazon- I would not buy any others without verifying the
expiration date). You can buy new filters with a 10 year shelf life at
approvedgasmasks.com
Also, unrelated to this product or review but
important to mention: be aware that most filters will last 8-12 hours
once opened (depending on type and concentration of chemical/bio) so, in
some sort of attack or extended pandemic you will need to keep 3-5
filters per mask!
these seal faster and better than the us military issue, with them you
need to be clean shaved to guarantee a seal, with the israeli model i
don't have to be clean shaved, I'm sure someone will disagree, but i was
in the us army and i know from exp, if u do disagree, go pay 100 more
for what you feel you need or works best, i took a chance ON this but it
was a relatively small chance for 30 bucks that payed of, i would trust
my safety to this, the filter is new the mask was new and it came with
drinking straw, u will need a carrying pouch, if your going to add it to
your bob bag setup. buy 4 for the price of a us issue, and keep them at
work home or car, in my opinion it's insurance,in these times u never
know when these will be needed to survive, don't open filter until ready
to use, buy spares if u wanna last longer than 5-6 hrs there are
different filters for protection from diff things, some protect from,
chemical some biological, others airborne disease. Some last longer than
others so pay attention to what yours are rated for research will go a
long way, these masks accept only NATO style filters so, pay attention
to what ones you buy. GOD BLESS THE USA, AND OUR TROOPS .
