I'd look for another mask tbh. Just for comforts sake. The gp-5 is by far the single most uncomfortable mask I have

I really don’t mind mine

I've heard it is pretty uncomfortable. They're cheap and there's a lot of them out there so I figured I'd start a gas mask collection

I did that when I was younger and it was a bad move.

It's a gateway drug

Mine was a Strichtarn top I found at a local surplus store

And now I have an almost complete motor rifles uniform

Look at the GP-7. Bit more comfortable from what I understand and still cheap

I don’t have boots, shoulder boards or an E-tool

Is at as spooky?

Yes

I'd say so.

It does look a lot like fetish gear though

Failing that there’s the GP-5M

Such is the curse of Soviet gas masks

I had a gander at the gp5m and it looks kinds goofy

It only looks like fetish gear because it’s been used as such so much you associate the two

It’s like whips

They aren’t really made for that but they’re used often enough for that purpose

Yeah, but Soviet gear gets used that way a lot more than other stuff.

My M40 is just a mask as are most of my others.

What's the most common gas mask? Like the one most seen in media?

But a black gp5 is straight gimp shit

Probably the GP-5. It's the most stereotypical looking and was in production for fucking forever

I was thinking about a black gp5 but then I thought the same thing

I think the white rubber has its own level of creep.

Skeletal in a way

Have you seen Dead Man's Shoes?

Can't say I have

Great film, the main character wears a grey gp5 in it

Cool. I'll add that to the list

Nice one bruva

M17s look great, personally. But they're needlessly expensive and mine fogs like a motherfucker

They also get some media presence from their service life

I’m probably gonna try to cop an M40

For that “late Cold War” shit

What's that really creepy one with the cheek filters

I love mine. It's genuinely comfortable

PGM? Something like that

I don't think that's right
