Airsoft Gas Masks

[Russe11]

I have used an M04 gas mask and found all the issues mentioned previously. I did quite a few alterations.

The mounting points for the straps are weak and break so I removed them and drilled holes and bolted the straps to the mask.

The lenses themselves are pretty sturdy but the way they clip to the mask isn't so I epoxied them in place.

The fan kept cutting out and it was only just strong enough to prevent fogging so I removed the internal structure of the filter and inserted a CPU cooling fan. This runs off a NiMH battery in a shirt pocket. This was a bit of overkill, but definitely no fogging issue now. There is a bit of a noise issue

The mask just would not sit right so I added padding to the top of the mask. This also means that when worn with a hood or helmet air is blown over the top of your head due to the fan upgrade.

Haven't read through all the comments above properly but worst case scenario, can't you just fit some safety specs under the mask for good measure?

In theory you could but they would likely be very uncomfortable with the arms pressed against the side of your head. Plus if they were polycarb lenses they would probably fog/rain out at first, until they warmed up.
