RE: Gas Masks
Not sure if an S10 mask and filters would do the trick?
They were part of the original NBC kit which were chemical and biological and nuclear.
Carbon lined jacket and trousers and then washable cotton inner gloves and thick black rubber gloves over the top.
Then over the top of the NBC chemical suit you wear a waterproof.
The NBC kit is still issued and the masks have been in service since the early 80's and are just being faded out of service for the new issue masks which offer better visibility.
So the S10 masks are going cheap, £10-£15 each
The filters are good for 6 days use if used 24 hours a day. £5-£8 each.
NBC suits are about £10-£15 each. (try to get the ones still in the vacuum packed, because the carbon degrades with contact to the air)
Iv picked up NBC suits up from the carboot for £3.
Also had gloves for £1 and decontamination powder kits for a £1 but you need to know how to use them.
S10 masks come in sizes 1-4, Size 1 being the largest, Size to is the most common size issued. Size 4 will fit an average 10 years old child.
The size is found inside the face of the mask moulded into the rubber.
The decontamination powders are for the gloves and mask.
You can use any thick waterproof over the top of the NBC suits.
The army usually just use there poncho and sometimes disposable waterproofs.
I dont see any other suit offering that sort of protection and on a budget price.
I got mine shopping around iv got all of us full NBC kit for £20 per person.
I just need to stock up on more filters.
I have normal Covaflu medical masks and medical gloves for EDC in the car and van. Eye protection is just a pair of wrap around sports glasses.
My NBC kit sits at the bottom of the warbrobe if needed.
