One thing about gas masks...if they're military surplus they need to be checked out THOROUGHLY. Most gas masks use a diaphragm to control airflow. Breathe in the air comes through the filter; breathe out and the diaphragm opens and lets the air out. However, to work the diaphragm (obviously) needs to be supple enough to do its job, as well as provide a good seal when breathing in. Many times this diaphragm can "dry out" and loose its flexibility or not provide a good seal, so you might as well not wear the mask at all...
