The Polish MC-1 Gas Mask features several design elements from gas masks in the Czech Republic and Israel. Borrowing these key features, namely the 6-point adjustable head strap and speech diaphragm, soldiers in the Polish army were provided with a superior gas mask that afforded optimum protection and comfort. The Polish army designed the MC-1 to have oversized round eyepieces allowing for a superior field of vision.

Poland’s military originally developed the MC-1 to protect troops from nuclear, biological, chemical and radiation threats. It features design elements from Czech and Israeli standard gas masks and uses NATO standard 40mm filters.
With its six-point adjustable head strap, pliable rubber construction and speech diaphragm, the MC-1 afforded Polish soldiers superior protection and surprising comfort.
Today, these masks are sought after by collectors due to their unique style, which includes circular glass eyepieces and a speech diaphragm.

The mask was made from grey rubber. It has a black plastic inlet/exit valve assembly and an olive green fabric 6 point headstrap. The eyepieces are glass, held on with crimped metal and fabric. Air enters the mask via Tissot tubes and exits through the exit valve/voice diaphragm. The voice diaphragm contains a metal mesh (similar to a wire kitchen sifter) covering it, it also has a thin plastic disc behind the metal mesh. The plastic disc is thin and slightly translucent, which becomes obvious when a flashlight is put behind the voice diaphragm. The mask is relatively light and is a simple design.

• Includes gas mask bag & 40mm filter (color may vary)
• Supple yet tough rubber facemask
• Snug 6-point adjustable harness
• Integrated speech diaphragm
• Boasts oversized round eyepieces
• Developed to protect against chemical, biological, radiological threats
