Mask hose came disconnected from mask during demonstration. Demonstrator did not realize this disconnect issue for 10+ secs. Therefore, demonstrator would be dead in a CBRN environment. What's the solution other than improving strapping & stowing?
I would say running the PAPR in a different location would probably be best, although having an issue going prone i feel like having it in front of you is more ideal.
A suggestion for mounting the hose, use a hose cover, some come with connection options to the vest, and to reduce the profile of the hose off the mask I recommend using a 90 degree hose. A far smaller silhouette overall.
Keeping the tube tied to the shoulder strap would be easy with ranger bands or zip ties. Wouldn’t recommend the zip ties though, don’t know how/if they’d wear down the hose
can anyone recombed sites to buy military surplus gear? jackets, boots packs, stuff like that. I've hear people talk about sportsman's guide with mixed reviews. is that a good place to try or are there better options? any help would be apricated.
Do not order from Mira safety! I ordered 8 weeks ago and have received nothing from them but excuses. They are LYING about their equipment being in stock and ready to ship. It is not! Worst customer service ever!
I like the look of the new MIRA mask. I have two CM-7M’s in medium but can’t get a seal, air escapes around the eyes. will have to exchange for small and see if it fixes the problem.
thanks for the vid though I'm curious about the green bag attachments. The kit I recieved from Mira has a shoulder strap with double attachment points, 2 male and 2 female. could you do another without the plate carrier and just donning the factory harness. Theres too many straps to figure out when the nuclear bitches strike. thx dave
I could see this hose popping off even running it through your shoulder strap. Not sure i want this because of that. The vacuum noise is also annoying.
I didn’t read all the comments but I have an agilite k19 and I found out these things called malice clips that are used to connect Molly to Molly. It’s Israeli so weird enough it works with the k19 because of the shoulder Velcro for wires but upon inspection it can actually fit the hose and secures it to the shoulder. It’s Israeli so I don’t know why I’m so 🤯 from it. Lol also just found out the cm-8m you have apparently is not supported by the standard hose so the reason why it fell out it may be because you could not connect all the threads from hose to mask? 😅 hope
I know this video is a year old but I’m just getting into the gas mask deal. I’ve never been in the military and I would like you guys advice. I wondered if using this system would definitely shorten the usable time for a filter. My logic would be if the fan is pulling more air constantly the filters would not last as long as if you were just using your lungs. Am I right ? If anyone can steer me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.
One good reason to use a forced air system like this or any kind is that it can work with facial hair because it keeps the mask positively pressured. But yes, it can shorten the life of the filters due to air being constantly pulled through them.
My knowledge on EMPs and a device that had the batteries removed is pretty low. I want to say that this would probably be alright if kept with no batteries in it unless it was needed. But a faraday cage may be necessary.

Nobody cared who I was until I put on the mask! ~Bane You're a noob to wearing a gas mask until you've puked in one! ;) What are some of the other companies making similar systems?
Mira is a terrible company they buy old stock and import and sell it as new gear at 2-4x market value their masks are just Czech OM90's (CM-7M) and older SCOTT Pro masks (CM-6M) and their new (CM-8M) Is the OM-2020 Czech Clone mask.
@@FirearmFreedom "Brand-new" just means manufactured within 3 years the OM-2020 can be called new I suppose, but it doesn't change the fact they are upselling gear at the same price of what it's a clone of the Avon 50 series. (Also there is no outsurts or microphone system!) (I guess with rubberbyutol you can talc and vacuum pack it for 40 years just fine unless you checked the dates you wouldn't be able to discriminate between new and old stock)
@@TheRealHarrypm The breathing hose that's supplied with the PAPR is a Israeli surplus breathing hose that has issues with connecting to many 40mm NATO masks.

Seriously considering something like this for biking outdoors during wildfire season.
Good review. Product was one that I was unaware of existing!!
Thanks man I’m glad you enjoyed it!

@@FirearmFreedom Thanks!
@@FirearmFreedom I’m a little confused, is the hose not threaded on?
@@gasmask7064 ideally you *want* it threaded, but this looks like a no. The threads are either small and useless, or nonexistent
A suggestion for mounting the hose, use a hose cover, some come with connection options to the vest, and to reduce the profile of the hose off the mask I recommend using a 90 degree hose. A far smaller silhouette overall.
To manage the hose, use Velcro tape or ranger bans.
That is actually a really good idea!
Just about to say velcro. Smart man
I would love to see a on/off switch with a way to turn the fan up or down.
That would definitely be excellent to have!
I wonder why they didn't go with an angled connection at the mask end?
That would of definitely helped a bit running it on kit
Kudos! You explain it well
Is that hose long enough to mount the Papr to a belt? I would mount it to the weak side in a drop configuration if I could.
Honestly you probably could I may have to try this in the future because that would probably work a lot better than on the plate carrier
Keeping the tube tied to the shoulder strap would be easy with ranger bands or zip ties. Wouldn’t recommend the zip ties though, don’t know how/if they’d wear down the hose
Or inadvertently tighten on the hose 👀😂 but ya I think ranger bands would work or some Velcro

I’ve used sportsmen’s guide and it’s been good

varusteleka is good. Mostly European surplus with some usgi stuff. They also have their own clothing lines most of which are pretty good.

Huh interesting I have had no issues getting a deal on my 7M but everyone’s face is a bit different. The new 8M is awesome so far I love it

Great point Dave thanks for the comment I can hopefully get another video on the set up put soon!
Sorry if I missed it but how did you get the new mask? I can’t find it any where so maybe they’re sold out or whatever lol
So I got it to review on the channel and give feed back to Mira it is currently not being manufactured yet unfortunately lol.
Another more work-use area this would shine is for level C PPE
Oh for sure, it would work great for that purpose!
I could see this hose popping off even running it through your shoulder strap. Not sure i want this because of that. The vacuum noise is also annoying.
Nice that the motor/ filters are not on your face.
Very true!
Hope You can make a new video from the upgrades of the new realease and that one You already got :D
I should be dropping a video soon!
@@FirearmFreedom aweasome ! Thxs.

Huh interesting I will have to look into that thanks for the comment!
yeah but the k19 is an awful plate carrier
Putting in a request to see a preview from Mira Safety their communication interface please
What about thread lock with this application?
I think it could definitely be an option I just don’t know what options would work with a rubber on plastic fit
Positive Air Pressure Respirator (PAPR)
I just got the system and I’m just curious how to hook it up to that little bag and what that little bag is for
So it comes with a carrying bag and then it also comes with a small backpack type option which bag we’re you talking about?

@@cowboynidaho thank you for your response.
Will this system be affected by an EMP?
My knowledge on EMPs and a device that had the batteries removed is pretty low. I want to say that this would probably be alright if kept with no batteries in it unless it was needed. But a faraday cage may be necessary.
Which filters would you use for a biological attack?
but does it work?
It most definitely seals and pumps air well but I don’t really have a desire to jump around in chemical agents in it 🤣
Just got a mira mask and that aline was $300... shame these papr's r so expensive
Hmmmm I would think you'd also need a chemical suit to avoid skin contamination 🤔🤔🤔
It really depends on the contaminant you are looking to protect against a lot of the time yes absolutely
@FirearmFreedom Mira safety finally released a viable suit for production, it's a bit pricy but it's the best thing on the market for civilians.
If you're looking at gas masks and the words "economy", "budget", come to mind....don't bother buying a mask. Thank you.
I will agree that you typically are gonna have to spend the money to get one that works!
