Product description
The MP-5 is a licensed copy of the French ANP-VP F1, Poland has also used the French mask. All masks are from the Polish defense, but most in stock are French-made ANP-VP in Polish service, unclear what Polish designation these have. We call them Polish mp-5 as they are from the Polish defense. The mask is very similar to the Swedish Protective Mask 90 in design and function.
Good field of vision and special ventilation for the glass of the mask. Adjustable size on the back of the head with quick release buckles. We size these but they are also forgiving in size as they can be adjusted around the head, these are extremely sought after and rare so if your right size is out of stock you can probably get a nearby one, the chance of out of stock sizes coming back in is small. A size 3 is a classic medium, I, who have size 58, can have both 2 and 3, but size 3 fits better, size 2 is a bit big in the chin.
Sizes that are out of stock will probably not be replenished, but these are the the last protective masks we have.
There is a speech membrane at the front which makes talking easier. On the left side is the exhalation valve and on the right side is the opening for the drinking tube with protective cap (remember to keep the cap closed), we do not have a particular hydration bladder in the range.
The front has a standard thread for 40mm STANAG filters, most civilian and military filters have this 40mm thread (but always check).
NBC/CBRN type filter is in unopened sealed bag. The gas mask bags are used but in good condition.
The bag is made of strong galon fabric with several pouches and compartments.
The masks themselves are unused but have been in storage, which can cause a little "wear and tear" compared to a brand new mask.
Please note that these are sold only as collector's items, NOT protective equipment! Function cannot be guaranteed. They are not civilian classified, they are not classified as personal protective equipment for civilian use.
However, the savvy customer can purchase a classified filter and quality-assured mask.
The mask and filter are manufactured according to the STANAG NATO standard and manufactured to protect against chemical, biological, nuclear and radioactive substances (CBRN). The list of what the mask must be able to protect against is long but includes chemical warfare weapons such as mustard gas, VX, sarin, biological warfare weapons and health-threatening organisms such as bacteria and viruses as well as radioactive dust. However, the mask does not protect against fire smoke (carbon oxides) because then you suffocate. However, the level of protection requires correct use, an undamaged mask and a functioning filter. The filter usually works for a long time, around 100 hours of use, but must be kept sealed as it can otherwise become saturated. If the filter is saturated with dust and dust, it is not possible to breathe through. A protective mask is sometimes called a gas mask.
If the mask is stored with a fitted filter, it should be placed in a tightly sealed plastic bag, however it is best not to open the filter before it is in a sharp position and second best to put both plugs back when storing.
Remember that exhaled air is not filtered, so if you are sick, you will be contagious even with a mask on.
The filters are modern and manufactured in the 2000s. Just to clarify, they do not contain asbestos, which some older ones (50s-70s) could do. Also called gas mask, gas mask.
