Soviet PBF Respirator

Показать описание
Soviet PBF cheek-filter respirator/gas mask.
The PBF gas mask was designed in the Soviet Union for soldiers needing a light-weight gas mask or to be issued to riot police.
The mask was inspired by the US M17 cheek-filter mask but is a better design, it has two ShMS/PMG style optical lenses that face forwards, two oval shaped filters and a voice diaphragm. Unlike most other Soviet masks it has an oral-nasal cup inside.

The PBF EO-19 filters most likely contain asbestos so I would highly advise against using them.
A great collectors piece none-the-less, the PBF is very similar to the masks the Combine Soldiers wear in Half-Life 2.

When you see the mask, you hear a "Get out of here Stalker."

My understanding of the pbf was that it was issued to border patrol guards and was mainly for tear gas which would explain the cheek filter choice. Having seen the rifles used they have a crook style stock which dips down so you can sight the rifle. There's also the upside of the AK using open sights which are easy to sight through a vizor/ respirator. I have also seen a helmet that rests on the top of the filters with a vizor that folds down to cover everything above the lips. I could be wrong but this seems to be the most likely reason to me.

I have two of these (1978 and 1981) but they are, I guess different generations of the kit: different exhale valve design and on one of them, the one from 78, seems to have slightly narrower eye lenses. I do really love the aesthetic design of these masks, practicality wise though....

I've recently bought a PBF mask and tried to aim with AK and a gun with scope, wich wasn't easy because of the filters

On the topic of installed cheek filters expiring due to being constantly exposed to air I recently picked up an East German issued M10M which came in a plastic bag, not new, sealed but fully set up with cheek filters installed, the top of the bag sealed by twisting it and attaching a small plastic twist lock. I'm assuming this was to allow the mask to be set up, the hassle of inserting the filters complete and then store it in a manner where they'd stay usable for some time. More additional faffing around due to the failings of the design.

I think it looks cool but I don't like cheek filters as you said

You should do a video about an average day in your life. Not a watered down vlog, but an informal video.

I'm planning on getting a PBF this Christmas, so to keep it free from asbestos, do I only have to safely remove the filters and clean out the mask? Or is there more to keeping a PBF asbestos free? (I am new to owning older cheek filter masks.)

Good video I also think its likely Those filters Contain asbestos I forget their designation and I herd people mention the Russian used asbestos till early 2000s. Also Russia makes asbestos today.

So is are the filters unremovable, cause it would suck to not be able to wear certain masks that are comfortable and good looking but have asbestos in the filters.

I got a question is the filter on the GP-5 (the one that contains asbestos) safe when it is not damaged at all?
