The M17s were uncomfortable, cumbersome, and didn't have the greatest seal design. It was time for a replacement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1984, the U.S. army began designing an entirely new mask that wouldn't have these problems. Several experimental versions were deployed but not until after the gulf war, where finally the M40 took the place of the M17 for future conflicts. The M40 (or, rather, M40A1) that we know today was updated in the mid-1990s, and became the main mask for the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, and also the Navy in special cases. Officially replaced by the M50 in 2009, it was fully phased out of service by 2017.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe M40 Design proved to be much more capable in combat than the M17 and as a result, became the host of many accessories like optical inserts, chemical hoods, ballistic lens outserts, and many other situational accessories. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSo what do we have here, then? essentially, an exact copy of the mask, made by 3M. Same molds, same construction, but a pedigree for safety gear like few other companies out there. 3M also has a vast array of accessories built specifically for the mask, and a lot of the accessories are compatible across other popular mil-spec gas masks. MSA's hand in development makes it compatible with some MSA accessories such as the Voice Amplifier and CamelBak Adapter we have offered in the past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll that, and you aren't getting a pre-breathed-and-sweated-in crusty surplus mask from some random guy on eBay. You're getting a brand-new, 3M-Built Gas mask based on a design used for nearly 30 years in multiple branches of the U.S. Military. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFull usage manual for M40 Gas Mask can be found here.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMore information about the M40 can also be found here.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecs\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eAvailable in three sizes, a dual use medium \u0026amp; large size and small size\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLarge field of vision\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStill in use today by many first responders, but is an exact copy of the mask used by the US military for nearly 30 years.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBuilt to military specifications to protect from chemical agents (Blister agents not included)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eAmbidextrous 40mm NATO filter adapter ports\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved speech diaphragm compatible with MSA Voice Amplification Unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAccepts Camelbak Type M Hydrolink Adapter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eComfortable fit while retaining face fitting\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e6 point head harness \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSilicone Rubber construction\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThese M40 masks are brand new.
