Bought one too! And also one of these. The ebay one is really nice!

Quality Military Face Mask Washable, Reusable Filter, Uniform 100% Cotton Army | eBay

Don't take a chance with a cheaper mask! You can buy many cheaply made masks, or one REALLY GOOD mask. Most all masks sold use trash ties for a nose bridge! We stitch in a 10mm double wire polyolefin reinforced nose bridge.

On a side note, my buddy was looking for a military inspired mask too, but he was really turned off by all the Nazi repro stuff on SM Wholesale's site.

I said I wouldn't read too much into it (and I'm Jewish)... But he may have a point. Who the hell buys a Waffen SS leather jacket (with matching leather pants). That's some straight up Nazi cosplay stuff.

Anyway, doesn't necessarily bother me, but might put off some members of the group.

Yeah, both both SM and ATF sell Nazi shit masks.
I have the SM USMC camo parachute silk mask and it works great.

And Mercedes Benz, IG Farben etc are still in business........ no-one who buys their products is implied as endorsing nazi ideology.

Ironically, there was no camo worn in the concentration camps and camo never killed anyone.

Whilst i wouldn’t wear it myself, several good persons do wear WW2 Nazi camo parkas etc. They find nazism as abhorent as i do. To each their own. I’m sure there are people who see us wearing the jackets of the “Terrorfliegers” who indiscriminately bombed civilians rather offensive too.

Atrocities were not the preserve of diehard nazis. Wehrmacht and allied troops did plenty. The incidence of french women being raped by US REMF’s after D-Day was scandalous.

Just putting a different opinion out there....

I find the development of camouflage particularly interesting and probably that's been increased by my museum work. German camouflage during WWII was streets ahead of Allied attempts. The Waffen-SS camouflage patterns were particularly effective and even the recent Multicam is directly related to this style of camouflage pattern and disruption - a return to the "dot" based disruptive pattern.

I have an ATF Marsh Parka with the later pattern Sumpftarnmuster and I have no qualms about wearing it whatsoever. Camouflage is just camouflage, it's apolitical. Waffen-SS camouflage was used after the war in small numbers by former German occupied countries' military forces and for good reason, it's very effective. The Swiss also used Leibermuster right up until the 90s.

If you start putting SS runes or that kind of thing on it then I'm out but if you want to use unbadged German camouflage kit I see no problem.

Interesting color scheme choice for their website lol.

$150 for a mask? I can get multipacked, N95 masks for a fraction of that. And the N95 masks are exponentially more effective.

We have one state soaring up again and we need to build a 'Trump wall' to keep them locked in. #blacklivesmatter rally had for cases attend on 06 June. And quarantine security were sleeping with those they were to protect. Then went home for the annual Islamic feasts and created two super clusters. Driving uBer after the security shifts. State leader is being roasted for the bigger second 'spike' not second wave...

But OD and WWII camo masks would be my go to... Or the printed moustache one!

What's special about this N95 mask? It's pretty expensive. I can buy a whole set of N95 masks for that amount. It turns out that if I order several masks from you every month, then half of my salary will go only for this purchase. I buy a huge amount of N95 masks on Pandemic Pal every month. I have four children. I have to give each of them three masks and an antiseptic to school every day (these are the rules at school now). There should be new masks every day. Now calculate how much money I would have spent on your masks.

Disposables are the way to go... best practice so they say...

 

[Officer Dibley]

Even better, don’t wear a mask unless you are vulnerable or if you really want to be “safe”, stay at home ......

 

[B-Man2]

I still think this one is crazy ...

 

[ausreenactor]

Go Hannibal the Cannibal mode to maintain the social distances and requirements, perhaps even increase the spacing.
