Canadian Prepper I have knowledge to share. MOLEKULE.com they don’t use HEPA filters like commonly used in the US. Instead they use PICO filters which are electrically powered filters that can remove VOCs and Airborne viruses and other things like mold spores and allergens and more. 1 PICO filter lasts for MONTHS. If you could work with MOLEKULE and with DevTac designs to make your awesome Gas Mask a full helmet with a rechargeable reusable battery bank, using the PICO filter, you guys could reach even higher levels of protection. One PICO filter lasts for months. I love your product as it is now. It’s simple and straight forward. Just wanted to share some knowledge. Wish I could invest in you guys to make this happen but I can’t afford that rn.
What's even more strange, I'm struggling to find them this side of the pond. U.S. seems to get all the good stuff; even when it's designed and manufactured abroad (albeit assembled in the U.S.).
Former 8 year CBRN US Army soldier here. Love the vid! One additional bit of info would be the difference between a "Gas Mask" and a "Pro Mask" aka Protective Mask. Gas masks are only for gas, whereas protective masks are for other elements as well... The ones you are selling do* seem to be more protective than just gas. Great video!
There a number of polymer mixtures used for the face seal. As I recall it, silicone was less subject to degradation than other soft seals aka elastomers. Silicone certainly forms more tightly to the face than just plain old rubber and is likely better than what is used in cheaper respirators. Further some people react to latex rubber but not nitrile or silicone.
Definitely get the masks that are coms, and drinking compatible. Me, my wife and son are a team. My dad was a army ranger and communication is extremely important in any situation. And as far as water and the ability to drink it with out taking the mask off is worth everything because of exposure. Also the ability to supply grade D breathing air to your mask system wile you change your filter is a good advantage in exposure areas
Great video! I liked all of the different visuals. I also enjoyed all of the background information about gas masks in general This mask is definitely top notch. BTW, thanks for the shout-out! I first learned about this mask from PrepperAgenda. Everyone who wants to be serious about their PPE preparedness should really consider purchasing this mask from Canadian Prepper's store! You totally get your money's worth.
keep in mind a 30$ isreali civilian gas mask with proper cbrn filters can accomplish what this mask can do, what you're really paying for is comfort, the ability to aim down a rifle comfortably and higher visibility, so you dont *need* this gas mask and there are masks that are about 80% as good and can accomplish to a reasonable degree what this mask can for way less than this one, the main perk i see to this one is it'd be more comfortable (i assume) to wear for *VERY* extended periods of time
calvin huddleston CP said old gas masks don’t keep you alive and just do long enough to complete a mission. He said “don’t be a fool, go new school” do you think he’s correct on this? Obviously expired filters aren’t smart but like with the Israeli gas mask you’ve mentioned I’ve purchased a Chinese $20 mask. Do you think they work as good as the 120$ masks?
@@oliverfasola19 well theres good masks and bad masks across the board regardless of age, honestly i wouldnt buy a chinese gas mask weaponsandstuff93 is more of an expert on gas masks then CP is so i recommend checking him out, there are awesome masks like the avon fm12 that are old but still considered to be one of the best gas masks on the market and half the price of this thing, if you are going to buy a gas mask at dirt cheap i recommend the isreali civilian masks, they'll work but they do fog and you cant shoulder a rifle with it, id say the most important part of a gas masks ability to do its job beyond a good seal is its filter which arent that expensive
calvin huddleston thank you for your advice and weaponsandstuff93 is great for gas mask content. I’ve definitely been interested in the Israeli gas mask but they went off the market for a while ( a few months ago anyways ). Weapons and stuff reviewed the TF-1 Chinese mask, that’s what I bought but I’m still worried it’s not going to work even with good filters. It pressurizes good but still it’s hard to trust China
@@oliverfasola19 i'd say trust weaponsandstuff, however he did adress and this is something you should keep in mind, gas masks are made with the facial structures of the host nation in mind, so while a british avon fm12 might work great for weaponsandstuff a chinese mask may not even if its a perfectly good mask, thats why i chose the isreali civilian was because it was designed to fit a decent variety of facial structures by extending and oversizing the side gaskets
Air quality in a post collapse will be dubious at best. Without regular maintenance and security, ...there are far too many chemical plants, storage facilities, gas wells, industrial facilities, military installations, research facilities, ...etc., ...that will fall into disrepair, succumb to vandalism, and suffer a variety of other containment failures. Not to mention a never ending series of both structure and wild fires. We have determined this much to be an absolute certainty. And we very seldomly say "...an absolute certainty." NBC protection is an absolute must have.
That was my thoughts exactly what is the point when if you are ever attacked mustard gas's will become one of the most common weapons beach can be used for purifying water and anomia for cleaning having both in a shtf is almost guaranteed it's a very simple recipe and requires no exact science Chuck they into someone's shelter that only has theses and they are done
I got the 400/3 for a crazy good sale on Amazon about 4 years ago... I liked that it was a tactical mask with the big visor for shooting. I all for prepping but I have to say if you got yourself into a situation that your under attack from mustard gas a gas mask is the least of your worries.
Thinking about it, but I can't find the diameter of the pores in the particle filters anywhere. I want to know if virusses could slip in between the micro pores or not.
@@frederikclaeyssens9201 the virus itself can fit through the particulate filter, but since it piggy backs off saliva particles/mucus from coughing, sneezing that would get caught, I doubt any viral particulates would get through. Tbh this is pretty overkill for a viral outbreak. You dont need a full NBC filter for filtering viral particles. A 40mm p100 filter is more than enough
I just recommend a lv 3 half face mask, anything past that is overkill but really it's mostly just common sense, washing your hands, not rubbing your eyes (that's how most people wearing protection get infected is by rubbing their eyes or touching their suits) and keeping hand sanitizer on you
I now have the SGE 400/3 and this is a fine piece of gear. The field of view is only a little less than my normal peripheral vision and the seal is exceptional. There’s zero fogging and the seal held fast despite not having shaved. It’s light and comfortable, and has great flexibility with the capacity for filters left, right, centre or anybody all of them. It’s build really tough. I couldn’t be happier with it.
I do own the SGE400BB, the butyl rubber version, for a few years now (7-8 years). Never used it in other environment than CS/CN gas. It worked flawlessly. I've been training with it while doing running and shooting drills. It sits tight on my face. Side note though, you better use a red dot/holographic sight on your rifle when using this mask as it's kinda hard to have a good sight picture and nice cheek weld on your rifle buttstock while wearing this polycarbonate mask. I've been using the CF C4 gas mask before for training and combat drills and it was easier to have a better cheek weld on my C8 for shooting but peripheral vision was way better on the Mestel than on the CF C4 mask's which only have two lenses... Nice review of the SGE400. 👍
To be fair the C4 is a much better mask as it might not be NIOSH approved but it’s a legit military mask, the SGE masks all failed NIOSH standards, this is why preppers talk them up and you never see government agencies using them
I just received mine from Canadian Preparedness and the quality struck me immediately, this is every bit as good as you say. I did a FIT test with it this afternoon and it passed with flying colours. I didn't even have a clean shave either. People who get one.. Don't forget to adjust the straps to make a good seal as soon as you get it. You don't want to have to take any extra steps when the SHTF, one of those things that when you need it, you are gonna need it ASAP. I think this will be a good escape mask. I will probably want the SGE400/3 BB (this one's big brother) at my bug out location, so that I can make use of the speech diaphragm, water port and other accessories available to that model.
@@CanadianPrepper Sweet! I guess the only upside to the BB is that it rated for Mustard gas, but apparently the rubber butyl not as comfortable as the silicone masks. I also remember reading something about provisions for eyewear, I will have to read it again more closely.
the only thing I can suggest or add to this if it isn't already here is to use Vaseline to create a good seal around your face especially if you have a beard. Don't be cheap with it either
dont know who's reading this, but for future reference, if you are going test a gas mask, do not use a vapor, (like a road flare) in a confined space, i saw a guy do this in a tent, and while it is hazardous, which this video addressed, it poorly represents the qualities of a respirator, using an aerosol spray in a confined space is better, because you can smell and feel the spray going into the mask, so to test it, use your hand to test the hermetic seal, then use a fragrant object, like vanilla extract, then test the overall mask by going into a confined space, and using some sort of air freshener or aerosol spray, I've even seen this done with a pack of ciggarettes
Gregory K. Silicone more likely. Natural rubbers yes, synthetic rubbers no. More people are likely familiar with diving masks, where there’s usually a skirt of synthetic rubber or silicone elastomer to support the frame and lenses and create a watertight seal. For Silicone, most people wouldn't know what silicone liquid or grease was, let alone where to find the stuff _(diving supplies)._
If it's very short facial hair, it still works. Above 5mm hair length though I wouldn't recommend. But 3-5 day facial hair it's fine, I've tested it with a Avon FM-12. But remember that every masks are different, some may seal very good, the sizing matters too, how you tighten the straps, the state of the seals and so on. It's recommended to go clean shaven or at most a mustache, but personally I'm not a fan of it since it creates micro cuts/irritations in the skin which let's bacteria and shit go in and create infected pimples as a result. Trimmed as short as possible is what I prefer, better for skin hygiene. Especially since our skins already produce sebum oil which is a natural protector against various nasty things. Shaving clean everyday is really bad.
Nate, here are my questions: 1. Are you selling potassium iodide? 2. Does the SGE 150 take the 40 mm filters? 3. The SGE 400/3 comes in 2 sizes on your website, medium and large. Is there guidance as to the sizes? Many thanks! Great video as always.
Not currently selling PI but soon, the SGE takes the same filters yes, there is a sizing info in this PDF on page 22. www.mestelsafety.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Protection-Equipment.pdf The only actual difference in sizing is the amount of silicone/ rubber material, the visor is the same size. The large has more, its the one I use and I think I have an average male sized head
I used something like this in the army and also at work later in oil and gas industrie. Same filters, masks were an older model. works good. Needs an introduction for how to safely change filters. For real safety you need the full body condom, of course. With built in toilet. You just get problems with mold after one or two days.
@@sextuspompeius1266 You mean the filter mask? I think it was from Dräger. I know the filter were. german army and later Wintershall for refinery and oil production. Same producer.
THE RECENT CALIFORNIA WILDFIRES have illustrated a very serious threat : long term smoke & ash contamination of the air. While the fires were limited to relatively small areas, the smoke extended to major metro areas like San Francisco. Most city dwellers had NO protection, and were forced to improvise with "painter's masks", bandanas, or just stay indoors. In a severe SHTF scenario (nuclear attack, large volcanic eruption, etc.), we can assume the air could be contaminated for weeks or months.
Do agree Mary. Smoke from wildfires is an increasing issue, and as you point masks are not available, or surg masks are inefficient. AS late summer in England, from a moor (viral pic of the lady wearing a russian GP5), Moscow a few years ago, each year India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand. And California, Portugal, Greece.
@@anitaleroy9442 Can you imagine the amount of smoke & ash in the air, if these fires were NOT fought & extinguished / contained ? Back in 1998, here in Florida we had the "Ocala National Forest firestorm" that burned thousands of acres and wasn't contained for over a month. It was visible from the International Spce Station !
Well aware, I am highly concerned by this recurrent pollution, wide spread and spreading. As instance I have shared with people in Borneo. the wildfire smoke, inside Borneo the girl there said it was "as hell" during 2 months. Very high unhealthy dense smoke at any time during 8 weeks. As dense fog, but choking and stinging eyes, throat, chest@@marytica123
Huge respect for you acknowledging the fact that gas masks are designed to complete missions or to escape and not to survive, as per their limited amount reactive materials in said filters only last so long. These masks look to be top quality too. Do they have light weight particle filters too, because they would be handy for fire smoke? Also I didn't see any of the Potassium Iodide tablets on your website...?
I might be able to buy batteries, bottled water, gas, ammo, food, and other disaster supplies for a day or two after a SHTF event, but a gas mask is one of those preps that will become 100% unavailable within 2 seconds of an event which requires respiratory protection. Anyone that can fit these in their prepping budget should get one sooner rather than later.
@@Nxt25 LOL ancient? Not really, the one I got (polish MP5, best one IMO $25.99) were used up until a few years ago. Also they actually were tested for asbestos and none was found. Either way they take NATO filters, you act like you cant jus buy a new filter.
Great, when are we going to see something on CBRN for K9's (Dogs) as I have been looking at options here to protect man's best friend? Big market for anyone who wants to tap into the sales from dog owners?
Prefer the Avon FM50 MASK. Wide view, drinking tube, voice module and two filters. You can change out filters one at a time without taking mask off, and interchangeable outer lense covers.
One thing to know is, all filters are not rated for chlorine or ammonia. If you live close to a plant that uses these, if an accident happened the gas/vapor could cover a very large area. Not a pleasant way to die.
Well, prepping late is too late. The prices for various items are increasing like crazy, everything is going out of stock (toilet paper meme), governments close the borders and reduce trade, may also requisition gear from current stocks (including the civilian market).
Speaking from experience wearing a gas mask for even a few hours sucks. Especially if you're in a hot, humid environment. You don't want to do it. The masks I've worn were supposedly fog resistant but still, hot and humid they got foggy relatively quickly. I can't imagine how much it would've sucked for 6 days straight.
I have this mask for more than 20 years now, used it for working underwater. It is a great product and its money worth. The only weak point is the plastic ring framing the mask and holding the straps, which seems to become somewhat brittle over time. Mine broke eventually. Please handle with care as if it were a piece of medical equipment. Best is not leaving it in the bag that's coming with it, instead, store it in a sturdy container (dry and away from sunlight), so the strap attachments can't get crushed. And keep the tools separate, so they don't scratch or pierce anything. If you choose this mask, be aware that the curvature of the clear plastic causes a distortion of your peripheral vision. You get used to it by turning your head, but some don't like it.
Something to keep in mind, if they make the prices way too expensive, you’re better off buying a oxygen tank breathing system, you won’t have to worry about inhaling ANYTHING!
Lol, MAN WTF???? U think ur cool being all creatively logical and thinking about something that didn’t occur to me? This guy be like: “ I’m sorry u feel dum” I be like “........quietly pouting.....” Keep ur dam perfectly reasonable and useful comments to yourself! I’m watching RUclips!!!

I believe this is a good question... what about gas masks that are compatible with eyeglasses. I could rig it up to work with some duck tape, but this is a serious concern if the time ever comes I need to use one. Dont want to have the duck tape saturated with sweat and failing in the middle of a hurried escape or what have you
Most are not compatible. Ive not seen any around for quite a while but you used to get respirator spectacles. You will struggle with finding a pair nowadays tho
Canadian prepper, you still planning to put out a video on what two way radios work the best? Would be nice to see how each one works against the other one. Thanks.
I have several adult size, but still need a few for kids. The 3M 7800 is great. Buy more filters than you think you'll need. They go bad quickly under use. Imagine having to walk for hours through whatever contamination. Practice changing out filters solo.
@propaganda dude man learn to spell first bruh. The amount of spelling mistakes are unbearable. And anyway you can't just tell something doesnt work without trying it yourself or at least collecting information of it and studying it. Can't skimp and be stingy on prices when a good mask can save your life literally
Put the mask in an air-tight mylar bag with some BHT and it will likely last the next 200 years. The BHT will sublimate and coat and even infiltrate the polymers and do its antioxidant thing.
I do love the filter canister design as it less subject to rain what is used on most industrial respirators as filter cartridges. If the canisters cover the range of industrial chemicals, suspect I am in. A HEPA filter is pretty important as practical measure.
I could have missed it so my apologizes if I did, but it seems to be more of the norm not to discuss filter life when masks are reviewed or the suggestion to what filter life is about. Understanding you can't cover every situation but many people do not know that once you start using the filter, and depending on the environment, they do not last days but hours. IMO, stocking up on filters is as costly as stocking up on freeze dried food LOL. Great review(s) on this mask and masks in general. Thanks for you efforts in educating us all.
You can get an unused Israel gas mask for $20. Just buy a few current filters. The one that comes with the mask is probably beyond the best before date.
@@lordvalen8133 I heard the mask is good but the problems are that it's rather bulky and the filters are used only for the mask, so you can't put nato filters on it, you can make it a 40mm mask but you know that kinda stuff is rather daring and risky Also they are expensive as hell
@@sextuspompeius1266 The emegency services version, the FRR uses standard NATO 40mm filters. The form factor complaint is understandable, but that can be said about any mask.
I have not bought one for my wife and I because we have three small children and I would hate to protect myself and not them. What options are there for children under the age of 4?
@@gharrett2092 You can take the tape off once the threat of inhaling fumes is gone. And there are actually Soviet military manuals that show that if your gas mas has been damaged, you can just take it off and put the filter in your mouth.
I'm going to ask a really stupid question so a lot of you others don't have to. I've been going over several manufacturers pdf's on the actual filters themselves. I can't find the diameter of the pores on the particle filters anywhere. Most advanced filters have varying protection for chemical substances and a particle filter. I would like to know if the particle filters stop viruses. I know bacteria are way large, but some viruses can get REALLY small. Oh, almost forgot: Asking for a friend.
expensive; you have chinese professional gm same kind, with 3 filters attachment (3 40mm thread, or 1 40mm and 2 bayonet ). Not so easy to trace (cheap models are more common on the web, low quality).
patr10t762 I’ve considered those. My biggest issue is my 3 year old would currently flip out if I tried to put one of those on him. I want a pod I can just zip him up in lol.
@@mometal0519 hunter seeker gave an awesome link! When I introduced my kids to them I just laid them out and let them "play with them" until they wanted to put them on. Then went into the instructions. Then they quickly grew out of them.
Thanks I got mine years ago thanks to your review best mask ever. With they 3m adapter I can use my super light p100 filters for sanding etc or town travel
This mask costs a lot! Poland has a significantly cheaper version which is similar enough for 30 shekels, thats 120 shekels less for an excellent gas mask
@Ludheim its that polish respirator you get for £20 but with a plexiglass cover, which is indeed an improvement, a rather cheap improvement. Mestel, the company behind that expensive mask also make insanely expensive diving equipment and scuba equipment is really, really expensive.
I have a lot of the Curad masks but unfortunately can't afford the real deal right now. At least the new ones don't look as scary as the old ones did! Thank you for the review and video.
GSR 24 hours continuous use in CBRN environment, designed for hot, cold, temperate climates. Twin canisters (possible to swap canisters in CBRN environment). Drinking system to pass water through mask safely. I still trust my S10 pretty well as even with the fov issues 4 hours of protection is good enough for a rural area (unlikely to be fully encompassed with CBRN elements) not to mention that I don't own a GSR
Personally I’ll be getting a CM-7M because it has sweat drainage and better for shooting but when it comes down to the nitty gritty a gas mask will always hinder your aim so it is essential to practice with it when you go to the shooting range.
I just recommend a lv 3 half face mask, anything past that is overkill but really it's mostly just common sense, washing your hands, not rubbing your eyes (that's how most people wearing protection get infected is by rubbing their eyes or touching their suits) and keeping hand sanitizer on you
S10 NBC respirator for that classic SAS look. Cost me £30 brand new and the vacuum sealed British MK4 CBNR suit was £12. Gloves and over boots for £5. PLCE LBE DPM respirator pouch £5. Respirator filters were Scott Pro 2000 CF32 ABEK2HGP3 Filter 40mm Thread £25 each.
The other parts of the protective kit included a SOEKs O1M Geiger Muller dosimeter counter and spare Lithium AAA cells, an Ortlieb Shower/water bag, a MoD issue Camelbak/adapter for the S10, Potassium Iodide tabs and a Katadyn Ceramic Filter (fits inside the Ortlieb water bag) I'm not actually a Prepper, the kit is for Airsoft/CEFO re-enactments hobby as it fits into the full PLCE webbing kit, Mk7 Helmet, Ceramic plates and Osprey Armour Vest Plate carrier etc.
Way better than what we had in the mil back in the 70's, an you ought to include for sale the Mylar bags an sell them on your site to, one stop shopping bro.
im not trying to hate or anything but i believe you dont need to spend 150 on gas mask. on amazon (im not sponsored in any way lol) you can buy an israeli 4A1 mask that comes with a nbc filter and drinking tube for 30 bucks. heck even an old soviet GP-5 works great but you shouldnt rust those old ruski filters lol
Oh my, I just realized I have 2 Ocean Reef diving masks, that I do not use (for some reasons) but instead of buying some new gas masks, I can simply use my diving masks for gas masks! Thank You Canadian Prepper!
The world record for not eating any food is 382 days. 3 weeks is nothing people. You don't need food, or at least not that much of it. Google to guy who went that long. It was under medical supervision in a hospital setting and fully documented with blood tests and physical examinations throughout.
I wouldn't buy a gas mask that doesn't cover my head. Many types of gas are dangerous not only to breathe in but also to contact your skin. I would go for the "old school " low visibility ones. Much more stable on the head (try close combat with that one and you will find the difference ) , 10 times cheaper (you can store more) , more skin protection and if you have to go through radioactive area you don't need that contaminated mask back to your shelter!
Don't Vacume Seal it Till it Breaks! But you can definitely Vacuum Seal It!!! I actually would if you were to do long term..it plastic gets dust affected, most dust is Metal or other contaminates... That's the worst thing in one of those masks!
I bought one of your gas mask and it did not come with a filter. I really like the mask it fits well and is high quality. Just wish it said it did not come with a filter so I could have ordered one at the same time.
Hello my friend, I noted where you talked about mustard gas in here. They (Mestel) claim that the SGE 400/3 B is mustard gas proof for a matter of hours. The face gasket is a Butyl rubber rather than silicone and therefore will stand up to mustard better. I agree with you that the chance of mustard attack is very slim, but I bought it anyway. That said the mask alone will not help against mustard, one needs the whole hood and suit as your skin would burn so bad you couldnt stand it. Hey love your channel…I just started watchin you about a week ago. Ive seen you on here for a long time, but you know how that goes, we have our favorite channels that we click and just pass other things up. But i have enjoyed all that IO’ve watched on your channel so far…cheers!
I have bought this gas mask, what I am trying to gain information on, If the drink tube and canteen are proprietary or can you use any canteen, drink tube or water bladder.
I haven't messed around with gas masks since being in the military back in late 1979-80. Back then we utilized the M17. Filter elements were secured inside the "cheeks". But in order to change them out, you had to remove the mask..That could pose serious risk if the environment was still effected by CBR contamination. Was a very dependable mask in it's day though. But I don't know anything about modern ones..
Are there child sizes??? I can’t find any gas masks for my children. If I can’t buy any for them, I won’t buy one for myself. I have a two year old and a six year old. They are my world, and the reason I became a prepper. ❤️
6 year old, maybe the smallest sizes (some models have a small size, and some Ex soviet - or chinese have children sizes - avoid the ex soviet, since they dont have the same thread). 2 year, a PAPR hood designed for children (as the Israeli one) - expensive. Feel free to ask me.
Looks cheap - surplus ? used ? Besides dont forget that battery need reloading, and the grid - if available . What do you do if the battery is out, no electricity, no sun, and toxic there ???@@tygrr69
The soviets made a lot of child size masks, however these do not use a standardised nato thread. I would largely ignore most of the stuff this guy says in the video, try an s10, they come with a side mounted 40mm nato filter. They normally cost around 30 to 50 british pounds depending on grade and age
Mylar bag? How easy is it find one. What's best type. I received a good quality mask in a box. I don't want to use it now but store it safely. The bag suggested sounds like good idea. Would air tight, hardened container be better? Also, company that I bought from (MIRA) sent mask with only one 40mm valve screw cap. Back and forth e-mails concluded with them politely refusing to send a second cap! Told me to unwrap one of two filters I bought from them and screw that in one side. Told them I wanted to preserve two filters ($$$) and had no need to rip open filter...just send me screw cap! Nope. Then they say I should buy an airtight container to store it in. Despite being pleased with CM7 mask (despite four-month wait), they've likely lost a customer due to this bullshit. I can't believe 40mm screw caps are that hard to come by in their line of business!
Great video. I This is a great primer. Respiratory protection is a very complex topic. APR respirators are base on assigned protection factors not filtering. Have not loot at these filters typical APR Assigned protection factor (APF) means the work- place level of respiratory protection that a respirator or class of respirators is expected to provide to em- ployees when the employer implements a continu- ing, effective respiratory protection program as specified by this section. A full face APR usually has an APF OF 50. Where as no protection has an APF of 1. The claim of six days needs qualification, what filter? What was the toxin, what concentration. All filters have a maximal useable concentration. If you have a mask you best be having detection equipment. There are tons of individual paper testing kits out there... CBRNE strips, and TICs and TIMs. Yes it The respiratory pro is the first step, next is the suit, then gloves, then boots, then once you have been contaminated how do you deacon? How do you know the hot and cold zone boundaries. Great intro to CBRNE, but depending on how much you want to know I would think minimum would be 3 8 hr days up to 18 months for a full operator.

Former 8 year CBRN US Army soldier here. Love the vid! One additional bit of info would be the difference between a "Gas Mask" and a "Pro Mask" aka Protective Mask.
Gas masks are only for gas, whereas protective masks are for other elements as well... The ones you are selling do* seem to be more protective than just gas. Great video!
Thanks for the clarification sir!
The seal is made of silicon, if i remember correctly - dont some gases desolve silicon and degrade it to a point where it brakes?
There a number of polymer mixtures used for the face seal. As I recall it, silicone was less subject to degradation than other soft seals aka elastomers. Silicone certainly forms more tightly to the face than just plain old rubber and is likely better than what is used in cheaper respirators. Further some people react to latex rubber but not nitrile or silicone.
Thanks, really interesting
@Kremer. Good point. Feel the same way about water filter vs purifier. I stick with purifiers. Cost more but you just never know.
Definitely get the masks that are coms, and drinking compatible. Me, my wife and son are a team. My dad was a army ranger and communication is extremely important in any situation. And as far as water and the ability to drink it with out taking the mask off is worth everything because of exposure. Also the ability to supply grade D breathing air to your mask system wile you change your filter is a good advantage in exposure areas
Do you have a mask recommendation?
I am searching for a gas mask which fit my ray ban glasses :D
I also wonder, is there a mask for those of us who wear glasses?
@@missk.c.7560 Been wondering as well.
Yes, because you have to go out in style. 😏

@@KL-bg8fi You need to get the spectacle inserts.
Great video! I liked all of the different visuals. I also enjoyed all of the background information about gas masks in general This mask is definitely top notch. BTW, thanks for the shout-out! I first learned about this mask from PrepperAgenda. Everyone who wants to be serious about their PPE preparedness should really consider purchasing this mask from Canadian Prepper's store! You totally get your money's worth.
keep in mind a 30$ isreali civilian gas mask with proper cbrn filters can accomplish what this mask can do, what you're really paying for is comfort, the ability to aim down a rifle comfortably and higher visibility, so you dont *need* this gas mask and there are masks that are about 80% as good and can accomplish to a reasonable degree what this mask can for way less than this one, the main perk i see to this one is it'd be more comfortable (i assume) to wear for *VERY* extended periods of time
calvin huddleston CP said old gas masks don’t keep you alive and just do long enough to complete a mission. He said “don’t be a fool, go new school” do you think he’s correct on this? Obviously expired filters aren’t smart but like with the Israeli gas mask you’ve mentioned I’ve purchased a Chinese $20 mask. Do you think they work as good as the 120$ masks?
@@oliverfasola19 well theres good masks and bad masks across the board regardless of age, honestly i wouldnt buy a chinese gas mask weaponsandstuff93 is more of an expert on gas masks then CP is so i recommend checking him out, there are awesome masks like the avon fm12 that are old but still considered to be one of the best gas masks on the market and half the price of this thing, if you are going to buy a gas mask at dirt cheap i recommend the isreali civilian masks, they'll work but they do fog and you cant shoulder a rifle with it, id say the most important part of a gas masks ability to do its job beyond a good seal is its filter which arent that expensive
calvin huddleston thank you for your advice and weaponsandstuff93 is great for gas mask content. I’ve definitely been interested in the Israeli gas mask but they went off the market for a while ( a few months ago anyways ). Weapons and stuff reviewed the TF-1 Chinese mask, that’s what I bought but I’m still worried it’s not going to work even with good filters. It pressurizes good but still it’s hard to trust China
@@oliverfasola19 i'd say trust weaponsandstuff, however he did adress and this is something you should keep in mind, gas masks are made with the facial structures of the host nation in mind, so while a british avon fm12 might work great for weaponsandstuff a chinese mask may not even if its a perfectly good mask, thats why i chose the isreali civilian was because it was designed to fit a decent variety of facial structures by extending and oversizing the side gaskets
Air quality in a post collapse will be dubious at best. Without regular maintenance and security, ...there are far too many chemical plants, storage facilities, gas wells, industrial facilities, military installations, research facilities, ...etc., ...that will fall into disrepair, succumb to vandalism, and suffer a variety of other containment failures. Not to mention a never ending series of both structure and wild fires. We have determined this much to be an absolute certainty. And we very seldomly say "...an absolute certainty." NBC protection is an absolute must have.
Western forest fire soot and smoke come to mind as a present problem.
It depends how close one is to the source, and what type of chemical. After a while the all the chemicals would have dispersed, burned off, etc.

Imagine paying for this and then suffocating with mustard gas.
That was my thoughts exactly what is the point when if you are ever attacked mustard gas's will become one of the most common weapons beach can be used for purifying water and anomia for cleaning having both in a shtf is almost guaranteed it's a very simple recipe and requires no exact science Chuck they into someone's shelter that only has theses and they are done
I got the 400/3 for a crazy good sale on Amazon about 4 years ago... I liked that it was a tactical mask with the big visor for shooting. I all for prepping but I have to say if you got yourself into a situation that your under attack from mustard gas a gas mask is the least of your worries.
mustard gas can be absorbed through simple skin exposure so unless you have a fully hazmat suit too then you will be in trouble regardless
Most standard military gas masks will protect from mustard gas. I think the best mask (for a budget) for a SHTF scenario would be the MSA Millennium.
@@flare9757 msa millennium is crap, they're made of silicone which breaks down easily with age and the lens turns yellow as well
Who’s doing this for the corona vibez? Just me ? ok.
Thinking about it
Thinking about it, but I can't find the diameter of the pores in the particle filters anywhere. I want to know if virusses could slip in between the micro pores or not.
@@frederikclaeyssens9201 I read that a N95 mask can filter out corona. I assume these masks are at least that lv.
@@frederikclaeyssens9201 the virus itself can fit through the particulate filter, but since it piggy backs off saliva particles/mucus from coughing, sneezing that would get caught, I doubt any viral particulates would get through. Tbh this is pretty overkill for a viral outbreak. You dont need a full NBC filter for filtering viral particles. A 40mm p100 filter is more than enough
I just recommend a lv 3 half face mask, anything past that is overkill but really it's mostly just common sense, washing your hands, not rubbing your eyes (that's how most people wearing protection get infected is by rubbing their eyes or touching their suits) and keeping hand sanitizer on you
I now have the SGE 400/3 and this is a fine piece of gear. The field of view is only a little less than my normal peripheral vision and the seal is exceptional. There’s zero fogging and the seal held fast despite not having shaved. It’s light and comfortable, and has great flexibility with the capacity for filters left, right, centre or anybody all of them. It’s build really tough. I couldn’t be happier with it.
Glad you like it, I didn't like it too much. Terrible with helmets
I do own the SGE400BB, the butyl rubber version, for a few years now (7-8 years). Never used it in other environment than CS/CN gas. It worked flawlessly. I've been training with it while doing running and shooting drills. It sits tight on my face. Side note though, you better use a red dot/holographic sight on your rifle when using this mask as it's kinda hard to have a good sight picture and nice cheek weld on your rifle buttstock while wearing this polycarbonate mask. I've been using the CF C4 gas mask before for training and combat drills and it was easier to have a better cheek weld on my C8 for shooting but peripheral vision was way better on the Mestel than on the CF C4 mask's which only have two lenses... Nice review of the SGE400. 👍
To be fair the C4 is a much better mask as it might not be NIOSH approved but it’s a legit military mask, the SGE masks all failed NIOSH standards, this is why preppers talk them up and you never see government agencies using them
@@TFU774 The Airboss C4 and the MSA's and are still the best choice for me too. Depends on what kind of environnement you get yourself into. 😉👍
Got the old DREO C4 but I can imagine the Airboss ones being really good considering they make the LBM(C5) and yeah they both would outperform the SGE
Agree - not in use in most part of the world @@TFU774
Any gas mask that isn't falling apart will work with cs gas
It's hard to divorce yourself from your marketing/sales and a truthful review.
I just received mine from Canadian Preparedness and the quality struck me immediately, this is every bit as good as you say. I did a FIT test with it this afternoon and it passed with flying colours. I didn't even have a clean shave either.
People who get one.. Don't forget to adjust the straps to make a good seal as soon as you get it. You don't want to have to take any extra steps when the SHTF, one of those things that when you need it, you are gonna need it ASAP.
I think this will be a good escape mask. I will probably want the SGE400/3 BB (this one's big brother) at my bug out location, so that I can make use of the speech diaphragm, water port and other accessories available to that model.
The speech diapgram, water port and all other accessories are available with the SGE 400/ 3 also
@@CanadianPrepper Sweet! I guess the only upside to the BB is that it rated for Mustard gas, but apparently the rubber butyl not as comfortable as the silicone masks. I also remember reading something about provisions for eyewear, I will have to read it again more closely.
Just buy an fm12
It has a drinking tube
Voice diaphragm
Polycarbonate lenses
It's cheaper
And small
the only thing I can suggest or add to this if it isn't already here is to use Vaseline to create a good seal around your face especially if you have a beard.
Don't be cheap with it either
Sorry my man, if you have a beard no amount of vaseline will give you a good seal!
Vaseline degrades silicon or latex products.
dont know who's reading this, but for future reference, if you are going test a gas mask, do not use a vapor, (like a road flare) in a confined space, i saw a guy do this in a tent, and while it is hazardous, which this video addressed, it poorly represents the qualities of a respirator, using an aerosol spray in a confined space is better, because you can smell and feel the spray going into the mask, so to test it, use your hand to test the hermetic seal, then use a fragrant object, like vanilla extract, then test the overall mask by going into a confined space, and using some sort of air freshener or aerosol spray, I've even seen this done with a pack of ciggarettes
I prefer pepper spray
Don't forget to tell the cool kids that it won't work with a beard !! ... Don't mind my picture.. I shaved my beard off ..
Vaseline
@@-John-Doe- nope Vaseline will degrade all rubbers. Just water and clean shaved I was in the US army, this is the only way they work.
Gregory K. Silicone more likely. Natural rubbers yes, synthetic rubbers no.
More people are likely familiar with diving masks, where there’s usually a skirt of synthetic rubber or silicone elastomer to support the frame and lenses and create a watertight seal.
For Silicone, most people wouldn't know what silicone liquid or grease was, let alone where to find the stuff _(diving supplies)._
@@gregoryk.9815 yea but in shtf how long u need the mask? It kinda depends
If it's very short facial hair, it still works. Above 5mm hair length though I wouldn't recommend. But 3-5 day facial hair it's fine, I've tested it with a Avon FM-12. But remember that every masks are different, some may seal very good, the sizing matters too, how you tighten the straps, the state of the seals and so on. It's recommended to go clean shaven or at most a mustache, but personally I'm not a fan of it since it creates micro cuts/irritations in the skin which let's bacteria and shit go in and create infected pimples as a result. Trimmed as short as possible is what I prefer, better for skin hygiene. Especially since our skins already produce sebum oil which is a natural protector against various nasty things. Shaving clean everyday is really bad.
Great review, Thank You. Was wondering if you have any information on full face gas mask for dogs. I consider my dog just as much family.
Nate, here are my questions:
1. Are you selling potassium iodide?
2. Does the SGE 150 take the 40 mm filters?
3. The SGE 400/3 comes in 2 sizes on your website, medium and large. Is there guidance as to the sizes?
Many thanks! Great video as always.
Not currently selling PI but soon, the SGE takes the same filters yes, there is a sizing info in this PDF on page 22. www.mestelsafety.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Protection-Equipment.pdf The only actual difference in sizing is the amount of silicone/ rubber material, the visor is the same size. The large has more, its the one I use and I think I have an average male sized head
I used something like this in the army and also at work later in oil and gas industrie. Same filters, masks were an older model. works good. Needs an introduction for how to safely change filters.
For real safety you need the full body condom, of course. With built in toilet. You just get problems with mold after one or two days.
It was likely an mcu 2p
@@sextuspompeius1266 You mean the filter mask? I think it was from Dräger. I know the filter were. german army and later Wintershall for refinery and oil production. Same producer.
This one of your better vids. These have very practical real world applications.
THE RECENT CALIFORNIA WILDFIRES have illustrated a very serious threat : long term smoke & ash contamination of the air. While the fires were limited to relatively small areas, the smoke extended to major metro areas like San Francisco. Most city dwellers had NO protection, and were forced to improvise with "painter's masks", bandanas, or just stay indoors. In a severe SHTF scenario (nuclear attack, large volcanic eruption, etc.), we can assume the air could be contaminated for weeks or months.
Do agree Mary. Smoke from wildfires is an increasing issue, and as you point masks are not available, or surg masks are inefficient. AS late summer in England, from a moor (viral pic of the lady wearing a russian GP5), Moscow a few years ago, each year India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand. And California, Portugal, Greece.
@@anitaleroy9442 Can you imagine the amount of smoke & ash in the air, if these fires were NOT fought & extinguished / contained ? Back in 1998, here in Florida we had the "Ocala National Forest firestorm" that burned thousands of acres and wasn't contained for over a month. It was visible from the International Spce Station !
Well aware, I am highly concerned by this recurrent pollution, wide spread and spreading. As instance I have shared with people in Borneo. the wildfire smoke, inside Borneo the girl there said it was "as hell" during 2 months. Very high unhealthy dense smoke at any time during 8 weeks. As dense fog, but choking and stinging eyes, throat, chest@@marytica123
Huge respect for you acknowledging the fact that gas masks are designed to complete missions or to escape and not to survive, as per their limited amount reactive materials in said filters only last so long. These masks look to be top quality too. Do they have light weight particle filters too, because they would be handy for fire smoke? Also I didn't see any of the Potassium Iodide tablets on your website...?
Who's here because of the Corona Beer pandemic?

You mean the boogaloo
Corona: - "La cervesa mas fina"
I might be able to buy batteries, bottled water, gas, ammo, food, and other disaster supplies for a day or two after a SHTF event, but a gas mask is one of those preps that will become 100% unavailable within 2 seconds of an event which requires respiratory protection. Anyone that can fit these in their prepping budget should get one sooner rather than later.
Yes, but dont buy this one. There are better stuff that you can spend 250$ on. Just go and buy like a GP8 or a FM12. Dont buy this, its crap

One thing to know is, all filters are not rated for chlorine or ammonia. If you live close to a plant that uses these, if an accident happened the gas/vapor could cover a very large area. Not a pleasant way to die.
chlorine, acid gas; ammonia, in high level pollution, specific canister, yes. both gases are VERY common (pools, cold industry, etc.)

Well, prepping late is too late. The prices for various items are increasing like crazy, everything is going out of stock (toilet paper meme), governments close the borders and reduce trade, may also requisition gear from current stocks (including the civilian market).
Speaking from experience wearing a gas mask for even a few hours sucks. Especially if you're in a hot, humid environment. You don't want to do it.
The masks I've worn were supposedly fog resistant but still, hot and humid they got foggy relatively quickly.
I can't imagine how much it would've sucked for 6 days straight.
For Mustard Gas Protection you need the Mestel SGE 400/3 BB model
I have this mask for more than 20 years now, used it for working underwater. It is a great product and its money worth. The only weak point is the plastic ring framing the mask and holding the straps, which seems to become somewhat brittle over time. Mine broke eventually. Please handle with care as if it were a piece of medical equipment. Best is not leaving it in the bag that's coming with it, instead, store it in a sturdy container (dry and away from sunlight), so the strap attachments can't get crushed. And keep the tools separate, so they don't scratch or pierce anything. If you choose this mask, be aware that the curvature of the clear plastic causes a distortion of your peripheral vision. You get used to it by turning your head, but some don't like it.
All this is the weak point of the Estel - a gasmask after a dving mask !!

6:19 couldn’t help but make me laugh. Like the 3 stooges of the apocalypse lol.
I do love the filter canister design as it less subject to rain what is used on most industrial respirators as filter cartridges.
If the canisters cover the range of industrial chemicals, suspect I am in. A HEPA filter is pretty important as practical measure.
Priceless information. New sub.
I could have missed it so my apologizes if I did, but it seems to be more of the norm not to discuss filter life when masks are reviewed or the suggestion to what filter life is about. Understanding you can't cover every situation but many people do not know that once you start using the filter, and depending on the environment, they do not last days but hours. IMO, stocking up on filters is as costly as stocking up on freeze dried food LOL. Great review(s) on this mask and masks in general. Thanks for you efforts in educating us all.

Those Sucked ! Had to take them off to change filters. Semper Fi.
im not trying to hate or anything but i believe you dont need to spend 150 on gas mask. on amazon (im not sponsored in any way lol) you can buy an israeli 4A1 mask that comes with a nbc filter and drinking tube for 30 bucks. heck even an old soviet GP-5 works great but you shouldnt rust those old ruski filters lol
But GP are not compatible with NATO filters, better buy the Chinese version (and they sold new items, not used or old stocks)
That slav at 1:38 is just vibin bro.
I actually really like your gas mask's tho
lol, if the world is going to shit, might as well enjoy it one last time
Oh my, I just realized I have 2 Ocean Reef diving masks, that I do not use (for some reasons) but instead of buying some new gas masks, I can simply use my diving masks for gas masks! Thank You Canadian Prepper!
My wife and I have the Israeli and danish gasmasks.
The world record for not eating any food is 382 days. 3 weeks is nothing people. You don't need food, or at least not that much of it. Google to guy who went that long. It was under medical supervision in a hospital setting and fully documented with blood tests and physical examinations throughout.
Additionally, you can purchase eye glasses frame that works with that type of mask, and have your eye doctor fit in the lenses for you. 😎
I wouldn't buy a gas mask that doesn't cover my head. Many types of gas are dangerous not only to breathe in but also to contact your skin. I would go for the "old school " low visibility ones. Much more stable on the head (try close combat with that one and you will find the difference ) , 10 times cheaper (you can store more) , more skin protection and if you have to go through radioactive area you don't need that contaminated mask back to your shelter!
Am very interested!!!Also for my pets
Don't Vacume Seal it Till it Breaks! But you can definitely Vacuum Seal It!!! I actually would if you were to do long term..it plastic gets dust affected, most dust is Metal or other contaminates... That's the worst thing in one of those masks!
I bought one of your gas mask and it did not come with a filter. I really like the mask it fits well and is high quality. Just wish it said it did not come with a filter so I could have ordered one at the same time.
Hello my friend, I noted where you talked about mustard gas in here. They (Mestel) claim that the SGE 400/3 B is mustard gas proof for a matter of hours. The face gasket is a Butyl rubber rather than silicone and therefore will stand up to mustard better. I agree with you that the chance of mustard attack is very slim, but I bought it anyway. That said the mask alone will not help against mustard, one needs the whole hood and suit as your skin would burn so bad you couldnt stand it. Hey love your channel…I just started watchin you about a week ago. Ive seen you on here for a long time, but you know how that goes, we have our favorite channels that we click and just pass other things up. But i have enjoyed all that IO’ve watched on your channel so far…cheers!
I think he meant it failed niosh testing for leaking
I have bought this gas mask, what I am trying to gain information on, If the drink tube and canteen are proprietary or can you use any canteen, drink tube or water bladder.
I haven't messed around with gas masks since being in the military back in late 1979-80.
Back then we utilized the M17.
Filter elements were secured inside the "cheeks".
But in order to change them out, you had to remove the mask..That could pose serious risk if the environment was still effected by CBR contamination.
Was a very dependable mask in it's day though.
But I don't know anything about modern ones..
The new M50's filters can be swapped in a contaminated area.
gas mask finn the s6 and s10 were definitely way better but it’s pushing it with your Soviet claim
How can I be sure of mask size? Also, I wear glasses.
Make a video about people wearing glasses in shtf
Are there child sizes??? I can’t find any gas masks for my children. If I can’t buy any for them, I won’t buy one for myself. I have a two year old and a six year old. They are my world, and the reason I became a prepper. ❤️
6 year old, maybe the smallest sizes (some models have a small size, and some Ex
soviet - or chinese have children sizes - avoid the ex soviet, since they dont have the same thread). 2 year, a PAPR hood designed for children (as the Israeli one) - expensive. Feel free to ask me.

Looks cheap - surplus ? used ? Besides dont forget that battery need reloading, and the grid - if available . What do you do if the battery is out, no electricity, no sun, and toxic there ???@@tygrr69
The soviets made a lot of child size masks, however these do not use a standardised nato thread.
I would largely ignore most of the stuff this guy says in the video, try an s10, they come with a side mounted 40mm nato filter. They normally cost around 30 to 50 british pounds depending on grade and age

The best gas mask in my opinion has to be good with opticals in case i have to use a gun so fm12 is better in my opinion
bio and nerve agents can linger in clothing/suits ect. need to decon scary stuff without training
if your up against that kiss your ass goodbye anyway
M50 CBRN protection, and can change filters while wearing and still protected.
I got lucky and found a couple for decent prices on ebay last year.
Mylar bag? How easy is it find one. What's best type. I received a good quality mask in a box. I don't want to use it now but store it safely. The bag suggested sounds like good idea. Would air tight, hardened container be better?
Also, company that I bought from (MIRA) sent mask with only one 40mm valve screw cap. Back and forth e-mails concluded with them politely refusing to send a second cap! Told me to unwrap one of two filters I bought from them and screw that in one side. Told them I wanted to preserve two filters ($$$) and had no need to rip open filter...just send me screw cap! Nope. Then they say I should buy an airtight container to store it in. Despite being pleased with CM7 mask (despite four-month wait), they've likely lost a customer due to this bullshit. I can't believe 40mm screw caps are that hard to come by in their line of business!
Prussian Blue Pigment, is usefull as it will eliminate radiation sickness, after you have absorbed it
you are assuming radiation there is a far greater chance of toxic air
thank you
Great video. I
This is a great primer. Respiratory protection is a very complex topic. APR respirators are base on assigned protection factors not filtering. Have not loot at these filters typical APR
Assigned protection factor (APF) means the work- place level of respiratory protection that a respirator or class of respirators is expected to provide to em- ployees when the employer implements a continu- ing, effective respiratory protection program as specified by this section.
A full face APR usually has an APF OF 50. Where as no protection has an APF of 1. The claim of six days needs qualification, what filter? What was the toxin, what concentration. All filters have a maximal useable concentration. If you have a mask you best be having detection equipment. There are tons of individual paper testing kits out there... CBRNE strips, and TICs and TIMs.
Yes it The respiratory pro is the first step, next is the suit, then gloves, then boots, then once you have been contaminated how do you deacon? How do you know the hot and cold zone boundaries.
Great intro to CBRNE, but depending on how much you want to know I would think minimum would be 3 8 hr days up to 18 months for a full operator.
I’ll stick to my old pal the Avon S10
Yeah I’ll usually stick to the tried and true masks, like my m40
