-The mask featured Helly Hansens PVC visor design. This gave the wearer a phenomenal field of view. It might have come with a Helly Hansen filter as they also made filters. If this is the case it might've used NBC filters in some places. It has a strap so the mask can hang from your neck when not wearing it. It also has a iron mesh in the exhale valve. The purpose of this is unknown. Finally, it could be said that the IMA and IMB are the simplest masks Helly Hansen ever made.<gallery orientation="none" widths="180">
