{"product_id":"russian-gp-21u-mp-3-gas-mask-kit","title":"Russian GP-21U \/ MP-3 Gas Mask Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003eStraight out of the modern Russian civil-defense ecosystem, the \u003cstrong\u003eGP-21U\u003c\/strong\u003e is built around the distinctive \u003cstrong\u003eMP-3 panoramic facepiece\u003c\/strong\u003e. Compared to the old GP-5 and GP-7 family, the MP-3 looks like Russia skipped a few generations and landed squarely in the era of modern tactical respiratory protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVisually, the MP-3 has a strong resemblance to the American \u003cstrong\u003eMSA Millennium\u003c\/strong\u003e, with its large panoramic lens, substantial central voice diaphragm, low-profile filter arrangement, and overall modern tactical silhouette. The two are separate mask designs, but if you're familiar with the Millennium, the family resemblance is immediately obvious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MP-3 features a \u003cstrong\u003elarge panoramic visor\u003c\/strong\u003e, internal oronasal cup, central voice diaphragm, adjustable head harness, and \u003cstrong\u003edual side filter ports\u003c\/strong\u003e, allowing the filter to be mounted on either side of the facepiece. It's a massive leap from the classic Soviet rubber hood masks most collectors associate with Russian protective equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GP-21U was primarily produced as a \u003cstrong\u003emodern Russian civil-defense protective system\u003c\/strong\u003e, although the \u003cstrong\u003eMP-3 facepiece has also been documented in limited use by individual Russian special-purpose personnel\u003c\/strong\u003e. It does not appear to have been standard issue across Russian special units, but that limited crossover makes the MP-3 particularly interesting to collectors of modern Russian tactical equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCollectors also sometimes associate the MP-3 with the developmental \u003cstrong\u003e“PMK-5”\u003c\/strong\u003e family of Russian mask designs, although \u003cstrong\u003eGP-21U \/ MP-3\u003c\/strong\u003e is the correct designation for these kits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEach Kit Includes:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal Russian MP-3 panoramic gas mask\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal filter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal Russian canvas carrying bag\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your collection is already drowning in GP-5s and you want something from the era where Russian protective gear started looking like it belonged on an FSB stack or in a 2000s tactical video game, \u003cstrong\u003ethis is the one.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGP-21U Gas Mask Size Guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f2f2f2;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eRussian Size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eUS Equivalent\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eHead Measurement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eSize 1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eMedium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e123.5 cm or less\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eSize 2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eMedium-Large\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eOver 123.5 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Measure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Add your horizontal head circumference (around the forehead and back of the head) to your vertical circumference (under the chin and over the crown).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSurplus \/ new-old-stock condition.
