Description
We have sold gas masks for several years and these Korean K-1 gas masks (also known as the Evolution 5000) are some of the nicest military gas masks that we've seen!!!! These masks use standard 40mm filters so they are ready to accept all current U.S. Military filters!!! Each kit is brand new in a vacuum sealed metal military storage can.
This info from the Manufacturer: The Evolution 5000 Military Gas Mask - Designed for military use, this respirator is also appropriate for tactical, law enforcement & civilian use. Manufactured in a fully ISO 9001 certified facility, this is a TRUE Military mask system. Consists of a butyl rubber facepiece which resists all known chemical & biological warfare agents, a soft rubber inner mask/nose cup designed to minimize lens fogging, and a removable (olive drab) outer hood/second skin made of butyl coated nylon fabric. The mask can be used with or without the outer butyl hood. The facepiece is stealth black & has impact resistant, optically correct, eye lenses. Equipped with voicemitter for clear communications. Comes with a brand new C2A1 long life 10 year stealth black filter canister. Side mounted filter position facilitates the use of weapons & other equipment. Designed to be worn for long periods, this mask has been tested, used & proven in combat & military operations. Refer to "features" to see included accessories.
Features
- 1 - Korean Military Issue K1 Gas Mask. This mask also uses the same head harness as the U.S. Military models so it can be upgraded to the skullcap harness. Under the standard harness there is also an additional strap that goes across the upper part of the back of the neck, this additional strap makes an immediate difference to the comfort and security of this mask!!
-
- 1 - K1 Gas Mask NBC Hood (This protects the wearer's complete head, neck, and shoulders from fallout, spray, gases, etc) The U.S. Military Quick Doff Hood is also compatible with this mask.

-
- 1 - K1 Gas Mask Waterproof Protective Bag. This is used when wadding through creeps, swamps, etc so that your mask does not become submerged in bacteria filled stagnant water etc that would cause mold etc to grow inside of the mask. We actually like these bags much better than the ones used by the U.S. Military as they are larger and easier to stuff the mask into and easy to fold and close once it is in.
-
- 1 - K1 Gas Mask Carry Bag. This is a heavy duty nylon carry bag, we also prefer this bag over the U.S. version. It has a ton of pockets and pouches and even pockets within pockets!!
-
- 1 - K1 Gas Mask Defogger Cloth. This is very nice, it is used to keep the inside of the lenses from fogging on you, which you definitely DO NOT want to happen in a chemical attack!!
-
- 1 - Hydration System/Adapter. This is a canteen cap that works with standard U.S. Military Canteens. There is an insert screwed in for the Korean canteen but you simply screw it out for use with U.S. canteens (no tools required, canteen not included but they are easy to get).
-
- 1 - K1 Gas Mask Filter. We do not know this for a fact, but I have read that these filters are better than the U.S. filters...Sounds hard to believe for me though, but I have read that they exceed U.S. Military Standards for NBC filters. These masks use standard 40mm filters so they are ready to accept all current U.S. Military filters!!!
