All about the Israeli M15 Respirator

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

All about the Israeli M15 Respirator/Gas Mask.
The M15 respirator is made for the Israeli Defence Forces and a few other organisations by Shalon rubber company, The M15 is clearly based on the Drager M65 respirator, however it has a drinking tube and voice diaphragm built into the mask, the mask is made from fairly thick and robust rubber with a 5 point rubber head harness with 4 fast adjustment straps.
M15 gas masks often turn up on the surplus market for around $30 and for that price they are a bargain, my mask is from the 1970s and is still in very good working condition.
Israeli Type 80 filters are also very good.

    Israeli's took Dragger, modified it, put some American parts and made sure you'd find filters no matter which side attacks you and named it M15 :D pretty good thing, would get it myself if had funds.

    A question about drinking devices. All the devices I've seen have the drinking tube link to a solid plastic/metal flask. By sucking water from the flask, potentially contamined air will enter the system(bottle). Is this the way they work? I have adapted my drinking system to work with camelpack pouches. By having a sealed flexible container there is no need for outside air to replace the empty space

    Picked one up from Amazon. It ran me $219 on amazon but it did come with the filter and water bottle. the only downside is that i have long hair and i really dont wanna cut it off. That aside, it is a really good mask. There is another on amazon caled kyng gas mask or something like that. It's $50 but the reviews said that the buckles were super cheap. So a $50 gas mask that's made to lookand feel like one of these -and marketed as KYNG- is most likely an ineffective gimmick as opposed to one of these. Overall, feels good.

We're trusting our lives to these things if something bad happens, and a broken buckle at the worst time would be a disaster. I bought a couple French ARF-As from BudK and they have a similar problem. The pegs on the mask that hold the buckles on are prone to break. 2 of mine did. Too scary for me.

Some of my gas masks, even after washing and lubing up the rubber, create little rubber particulates through use, even though they're in what I would class as super-grade condition. How do I eradicate this? Is it harmful to wear them with the presence of the small flakes of rubber?
