Went with an m40 as the surplus spectacle inserts were only $60 on ebay vs $200 something for avon, not including lenses. I really only use it with p3 filters so it isn't very heavy at all.
I love foreign developers of gas masks, for the fact that they provide for the attachment of corrective lenses. In Russia, only the PMK-4 has a stupid lens mount that even a child would design better
I think the concept for the pmk4 glasses insert is cool as it let's you use glasses you already have instead of having to have them custom made. Here in the US there are stores where you can have the lenses for inserts made in less then 3 hours typically but they are still expensive. I have an m40 and found some surplus spectacle inserts online and had them made the same day.
Someone else commented something similar, but i wanted to ask if anyone knows why mira gets so much hate? I know theyre expensive, but I haven't been able to find the OM masks here in the states. Do they just resell them or are they unsafe?
You must be new here Now seriously. The three "iconic" respirators they rebranded are made in Czech republic by a company Gumárny Zubří, easy to look up. They are not unsafe, but they are not up to certain modern standards imo. Contrary to what you can see in their advertisements of course and that's a partial answer to your first question. To us, the respirators they sell are ridiculously expensive for what they are and so uninteresting I have no real reason to make any videos about them. Just because they pushed so much money into advertisement it doesn't mean I have to pretend they're relevant. 🤗
Glad you liked the video! 🤣Why would you prefer to watch me talk about uninteresting respirators when there are so many other, much more relevant pieces of CBRN equipment? Just watch our CM-4 review (a good gas mask for under 20 bucks) since majority of its negative aspects we pinpointed have been later transferred to all the newer respirators like OM-90, CM-5, CM-6, OM-2020. These respirators are HEAVILY ALIKE in many aspects.

yeah, that's a considerable price difference. One day I need to review M40 as well but getting them in Europe is quite difficult.

@@cbrnacademy thank you! I am new and trying to figure out a reasonable cost to value cbrn mask, you're right, I see a lot of MIRA ads
Love the channel but when are u going to test the mira masks
Mira masks are basically rebranded Czech OM90 masks.
