Collection: NATO CBRN 40mm Gas Mask Filters

How to choose a 40mm gas mask filter

Start by confirming the connection. The filters in this collection use the standard 40mm threaded interface used by the compatible masks, hoods, hoses, and powered systems in our store.

A matching thread only confirms that the parts connect. It does not prove what a filter protects against, how long it can be used after opening, or whether it is appropriate for a particular hazard. Review the individual filter listing, packaging, condition, and intended use before relying on it.

Keep unopened filters sealed and stored according to the product instructions. For a detailed explanation, read our guide to 40mm thread compatibility and our filter storage and inspection guide.
