The M85 is a licensed derivative of the German M65. It partially replaced the M74 in service however the 74M is still in production while the M85 isn't. A licensed copy of this mask was made in Iraq.
Mask overview[]
The mask is made of an olive green chemically resistant neoprene rubber featuring two rounded triangular eye pieces, a round exhale valve, an orinasal cup that prevents mask from fogging, and a STANAG 4155 threaded inlet located on the chin of the mask. The mask was issued with a CF-4, or nowadays with a CFS filter and a vinyl haversack which is attached to the wearers belt and slung over the shoulder. Some masks were even issued with a hose which connected the mask to its filter.
M85 comes with a hydration system and improved straps.
