This gas mask kit includes:
- A pair of FM61EU filters
- A clear outsert
- A Universal Mask Carrier (ideal for creating a gas mask emergency kit)
The FM50 has been developed to meet the latest NATO requirements and counter the multiple CBRN threats encountered in modern warfare, anti-terrorist and peace-keeping operations.
The twin filter conformal system sits close against the face, providing the wearer with high protection and very low breathing resistance. Twin filters also make it a much more comfortable mask to wear and also allows greater ease of weapon deployment.
