![]() ![]() The M40 mask carrier earned the derogatory nickname, "the suitcase" due to the large size and cumbersome handling in the field. The decision to move to the large external C2 and C2A1 filter elements for the sake of NATO standardization made the mask bulkier (although lighter) than its predecessor, the M17. Reports from the field indicated that the M40 series mask was described as too bulky and heavy for modern military operations. The program managers gathered information from all viewpoints, to include: In the mid-1990s, the M40 series masks were replacing the old M17 series throughout the armed forces of the United States but CBDCOM (later SBCCOM) was already looking forward to the next mask series. Foreign military sales versions of the mask are also available with similar or identical specifications. Other variants were developed based on the M50 design for specific needs of certain military populations such as the M53 for the Special Operations Forces (SOF) community. There are two mask variants: the M50 (ground and shipboard use) and M51 (ground vehicle use). The M50/51 masks replaced the M40 and M42, MCU-2/P series of masks, and the M45 in the Land Warrior Program. It is an above-the-neck, chemical-biological (CB) respirator that protects against battlefield concentrations of CB agents, toxins, toxic industrial materials, and radioactive particulate matter. ![]() The mask was designed to incorporate state-of-the-art technologies to protect US and allied forces from current and anticipated CBRN threats.

Lets start by saying the customer service and THE MASK are both excellent at ASW. They both came in perfect condition and included a filter. I bought two of these in case of an emergency. It is a plastic ' stretch to fit' that may leave slack and not seal to smaller faces. Should have some information in the description that this may not seal well to all faces. Posted by Jace A Castillo on Jul 2nd 2020 The mask came a 2y size which is pretty good, the shipping time was only 3 days after the initial 2 day period they say the took, and while the USPS agent put it in the wrong locker it successfully shipped all the way to Panamá! (The country not the city in Florida) and while it is pretty small for my head still that' s completely my fault, so the only complaint I have is whatever was in the box when I opened it ended up giving me problems in my nose and it smelled bad, the mask was pretty dirty as well but it was expected from a mask marked to be made in 1988 I believe, after a good cleaning like I saw on a YouTube video it looked brand new however, so I gotta say pretty good purchase and would recommend. 4 Great shipping time but one or two drawbacks.We make no claims as to the effectiveness of these gas masks.
