Collection: Ancient Masks

A gas mask is a personal device that fits over the head to protect against poisonous vapors and gases. It consists of a flexible body that conforms to the face, plastic eye shields, and a breathing valve.

It provides respiratory protection against military warfare, civil disturbances, and CBRN threats.

Today, gas masks are widely used by cyclists and common pedestrians in numerous cities, in various countries around the world, to protect themselves from inhaling toxic smoke, harmful to the lungs, caused by factories and vehicles in circulation.
