Theo, Thankyou for this video. In the process of M50 acquisition and this video is a GREAT help/guide to using the M50 correctly. It is nice to have a soldier give back to the public with great technical information regarding proper kit use. Best, Tim

I disagree with you on using the outsert, It is very necessary to protect the permanent lens from damage. There are also more options than just the smoked lens

Cool video, thanks for your work. 👍👍👍💪👊😎⚔☠⚔😎

Love these things so cool.

Good mask, as soon as I started my FRDF CBRN Specialist role we switched from the older cbrn masks to these, the difference was like day and night.

Thanks man!

Nice job Devil Dog! Semper Fi

Awesome review 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

Learned a lot from your vid, love form a milsim guy.

Could use one of these after a good, hot vindaloo!

Good vid

my fav mask

As a 74D, I can tell you M50 is a great mask compared to the M40. I do have to explain to soldiers one of the big differences between the two: M40, you can breath without the cannister being attached and not so for the M50.

Thanks for the great video bro. I just picked one of these masks up on eBay. With all of the crazy s**t going on in the country I want to be prepared. My last gas mask that I used in the Corps was the M17. A long time ago bro. 1980-84 Semper Fi

Hi, just a fellow 0311/0331 former teufel hunden here🤙I just happen to have found ur channel by chance and I’ve enjoyed ur content thus far, so I’ve subscribed! Keep it up, great job!👍👏 I used the older model m40 in conus 🇺🇸 , 🇮🇶 🇦🇫 until my enlistment exfil in ‘08, and still currently have one for civilian work and personal use. I’ve currently ordered and waiting on the Avon C50. Can an you do an opinion review from a glasses wearing soldier, of the spectacle insert attachment for the pro mask m50? S/F🤟

Hey, sorry nobody got back to you. I got issued this mask with the inserts about a year ago, used it a lot in the field. If you haven't found out already yourself, the inserts are great. They cover almost your whole field of vision, and there's a few degrees of separation between them and your forehead so they don't fog up as fast as you'd think. Glasses *I think* will break your seal so that's bad to go, but I've always had the inserts so I can't say for sure. Good luck

I might get one but with the smoke lenses

Is it possible to address cheek placement when using a rifle and hydration? Will one of the filters need to be removed? What will the hydration tube connect to? A usgi canteen? Bladder? Thanks for sharing.

One filter is usually removed when shooting, works well. Just gotta ensure the rubber seal inside isnt damaged before or after. Tube connects to a canteen cap that is included but you can also buy and adapter for camelbak as well

Can you do a video on cleaning one? Or explain what you do? I've been using Lysol wipes to clean mine, but I haven't been able to clean the inside and the Lysol wipes I feel are removing something off the mask

Don't use Lysol to clean your mask. This is recommended against strongly by the manufacturer. Use Warm Water only if you aren't trained on maintaining your mask. If you are exposed to a CBRN environment and don't have the proper resources to decon it, only use glycerin soap.

Depends very much on the environment. Activated carbon can last 3x~5x longer than advertised if you only use the filters sporadically, in relatively clean environments. It's also worth noting that filters tend to slowly lose their capacity to adsorb or neutralize contaminants, which means that expired filters will still tend to work for a while, with some loss in performance, and can therefore be useful against less serious chemical threats.

As a Marine... 3051/3072.. CRC ( Combat Replacement Company) 1st Gulf War that was issued a defective gas mask. your advice sucks!

Haha really crappy stormtrooper

Yikes, are you sure this is infantry proof? I suffocated myself like an idiot when I took both filters off to check if they were blue and the mask sealed itself.

tip #1: don't refer the M50 as a Pro Mask, Pro mask is the commercial mask term, M50 is a military specific mask. So M50 is just M50. There are differences in quality and military performance of Pro Mask vs M50.
