Do you guys who own gas masks take them everywhere you go? To be of any use, you would have to, correct? Also, since a lot of the gasses these days are odorless and colorless, by the time you felt anything would it be too late? Or do you have chemical sensors of some sort as well? Are you relying on reports from the media that gas has been used? What's the deal?

Can anyone clue me in on a web site that includes a critique on the Israeli masks and others available on the surplus market?
I saw this kind of information on a site earler in the year and though I was sure I had it book-marked, I'll be darned if I can find it now. I believe it was a section of a surplus site.
Help!!

Lot's of out of date surplus on the market.
I had another review site, but can't find it now.
Also, check out Assault Web under gear, there is a thread running there. Basically, it will point you to the site mentioned above and sing the praises of the M-95 masks.

A mask will certainly help if:
1. the JBT's are raiding your house and fire tear gas/CS gas in
2. the WTC collapses nearby and the air is filled with crap ranging from smoke to asbestos
3. your house is on fire (probably due to #1)
4. a local chemical plant is on fire
5. a train carrying chemicals overturns in the tunnel, ala Baltimore a month ago
6. you know there is a poison gas cloud coming your way. maybe post nuke strike, who knows? If you are downwind you might have some time.

I echo the same sentiments as those expressed by gardenWeasel. For complete biological protection, a full biological resistant suit is needed to compliment your gas mask. Here are couple of sites where you could purchase different varieties of masks.

Thanks. I wonder if they have big and tall sizes? |

fight4yourrights, that's good information, thanks. There are refineries nearby and if for some reason they should ever burn, it might be useful to have something to filter out all the crap. Cool.

It will also not help if there is a lack of O2.
Gas Masks + Fire = BAD!
If you do not believe my advise, ask any fireman about a military or civilian rated gas mask and a house fire.
