MIRA SAFETY M Certified CBRN Full Face Gas Mask Reusable Respirator Professional Grade (CM-6M Mask WITH Drinking System), 2 Piece Set

Mira Safety's CM-6M is overall a well-built and effective respirator mask for CBRN survival purposes. A robust build and effectiveness as a respirator provide peace of mind for anyone worried about CBRN threats.Visor- The visor is, simply put, massive. The visor takes up almost all the front face of the respirator and provides a very wide field of view with little to no fogging. This wide FOV enables crucial situational awareness but has a couple of drawbacks.-Stock Weld & Eye Relief: With no soft material around the cheek and a non-recessed visor, it is difficult to achieve any sort of proper stock weld or attain eye relief when using rifle optics (outside of open red dots).-NOD* Compatibility: The lack of visor recess makes it challenging to use helmet-mounted NODs*Night Optic DeviceMaterial, Durability, & Fit- Butyl plastic, the gold standard for CBRN respirators, is thick, durable, and flexible enough to ensure a strong seal. While I have not had this respirator long enough to assess its durability, based on my experience with similar masks, its construction feels robust and long-lasting – provided it is properly stored and maintained.Fit: This respirator fits and seals a variety of face sizes. Both my girlfriend – who is significantly smaller than me – and I were able to achieve a proper seal and comfortable fit.Accessories- The included drinking system works as advertised. It is a CBRN-rated canteen system with a straw / hose that is simple and effective. While it does not come with a filter or with a carrying case, I think it is worth noting that the MIRA Safety respirator pouch is a worthwhile investment. I can keep this respirator, a spare filter, and my CBRN kit stored securely in the carrying case with no issue and still belt / drop-leg mount it comfortably.Respirator Effectiveness- I verified the seal using the positive / negative pressure test* and the respirator works as intended. It compares to the effectiveness of my previously issued gas mask in the US Marine Corps. I also tested the respirator, along with a MIRA Safety filter, using a chemical and particle test. Both airborne cleaners and particulates failed to permeate the mask or filter. Without any CS gas, this was the full extent of my ability to test the respirator.Overall, the MIRA Safety CM-6M is a solid choice for those seeking reliable CBRN protection. While it is not ideal for tactical applications due to visor-related limitations, it is well-suited for more practical emergency situations, such as:-Chemical spills (highway crashes / train derailments)-Polluted air conditions-Disease outbreaksFor those prioritizing situational awareness and general-purpose CBRN protection, the CM-6M is a highly capable respirator.

This mask is great but it has its limitations. Don’t try to use while working construction to many factors. It will not help with asthma against hay and concrete rich environment.

This is a high quality mask. While some say the rubber smells, it definitely isn’t something I noticed or that bothers me.While it comes with a small manual— Initially, I had a tough time trying to connect the drinking canteen, but after watching a video, I 1) saw that it needs to really be pushed hard and secured into the canteen snugly/tight or the valve inside the tube won’t open 2) the straw needs to be opened on the bottom right by turning clockwise (this also aims it toward your mouth, and 3) you need to gently bite on the rubber straw to drink.The second port cover/cap for a dual filter (if you wanted) is extremely hard to get out—but honestly I wouldn’t put two at once. However, if you did want to put the filter on the other side, the cap is quite difficult to remove.Only other thing that bothered me a bit is that when I went to clean the inside of the polycarbonate shield with a lens wipe (usually safe to use on most lenses), I noticed it scratched the inside quite easily. I now use a microfiber cloth instead to wipe it clean.Other than those details, the fit is great and it is easy to don and tighten, doesn’t fog up easily or feel too hot or hard to breathe, which is good. I was going to give it 4/5, but decided on 5/5 because it’s more of a learning curve with using it and honestly with use I’m sure it’s bound to get scratched anyway. Getting it along with the filter at its lowest cost didn’t hurt either 🙂👍🏻

Most comfortable mask I have worn, can be worn with a ballistic helmet. Very easy to put on and tighten. Very high quality. Only thing is if you dont like the smell of rubber it will make the place you are storing it smell like rubber.

Great mask, head net is super comfortable and supportive even with the large VK-530 MIRA sells. Clear vision, would recommend getting their profilm to keep vision clean and protect the visor and they sell layered ones for tear off

Look, this is one of those things you buy as assurance for when SHTF. You may never need to use it, but it's better to have it and not need it, then need it and not have it.And you could save money by buying cheaper alternatives, but how do you know they will actually work when the time comes?I don't mind paying a couple hundred dollars if it means I'm getting a CBRN-D certified mask that's made using butyl rubber (which is proven to provide superior protection against chemicals) and has been tested against chemicals commonly found in chemical weapons. If you look at other protective masks listed on Amazon, they may use trigger words like "survival" or "emergency preparedness", but they steer clear of using the acronym "CBRN" in order to avoid legal trouble for their general purpose safety masks made out of silicone.Mira's masks are direct civilian version's of masks used by various military and law enforcement agencies (which means they share almost all, if not all, of the same certifications). You're getting military grade equipment at a competitive price compared to other well-known brands (such as Avon, which makes great products but very pricey).The reason I'm giving this 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the strap webbing. While I was in the military, I was issued an Avon M50, and the webbing on Avon's masks has an additional pull strap in the center of the back that allows for much quicker donning. We would have our masks prepared by folding the webbing over the lens so that as soon as you heard "GAS GAS GAS" all you had to do was smash your face into the mask and use that strap to pull the webbing over your head. Mira's masks take a little longer since you have to slide your head between the webbing and mask, then cinch the straps down. And when it comes to chemical attacks, literally every second matters.If they ever add that strap to the webbing, this would be a 5-star gas mask.

Used for law-enforcement. As with any piece of gear, if you take care of it, it will take care of you. When storing for a quick deployment, place a microfiber towel or the piece of foam that comes with it in between a strap and the lens. If you want to get super nerdy, you can get vinyl film for the outside of the lens to prevent scratching. as with most gas masks, you’ll need to adjust your Kevlar strap to fit around the mask. I, like most other LE, just put the Kevlar on and let the straps dangle. Works fine. Never had an issue with sealing.

A necessary purchase that I have been putting off for a while. The package came in decent condition as the outer box was a bit crumpled. It was the exact mask I ordered. Everything was included. Funny enough it arrived at the exact time I started watching the Netflix show The Eternaut. Hope that I never have to truly put it through its paces, but it’s nice to know that I’ll have protection when I need it. I bought the Mira Safety NBC-77 SOF filters (4) to pair it with. I will be getting regular smoke resistant filters in the future just in case of a fire incident. Doesn’t seal as great if you have a beard. That’s okay as I will just have to shave if push comes to shove. The comfort is pretty good. Didn’t hurt my face . I could wear it as long as needed. Easy to put on. Use the adjustable straps as necessary. As far as the smell…very minuscule. Not sure what some users expected it to smell like… potpourri? This is definitely a great purchase especially, if you are planning on the event of a catastrophic event. Nice work Mira!
