Used US Military M40 Gas Mask Bag

M40 protective masks were phased into service during the 1990s as a replacement for the M17 gas mask. This M40 carry bag would house the gas mask components; filter, face piece and decontaminating kits. Complete with two straps for wearing over the shoulder or around the waist.

The M40 bag represents the shifting of the times changing from a all canvas construction, to a rugged nylon build that won't rot. The front and back panels have hard inserts to protect the masks lenses from knocks. Accessing any of the compartments in a hurry is made easy with hook & loop tabs (the small external pouch was designed to carry decontaminating kits). While these bags will fit many types of gas masks, they'll also prove useful as a daily messenger bag, or simply as a cool display piece of military history.

• Genuine US Army surplus
• Rugged nylon construction
• Hook & loop closure
• Front & back hard inserts
