The Millennium CBRN Gas Mask is composed of a one-piece polyurethane lens that is bonded to a rubber face-piece. The mask incorporates a tube for hydration and the dual canister mount “allows for weapon sighting from either shoulder,” said a spokesman. Lens fogging, he mentioned, is “prevented by an internal nose cup that deflects air from the lens.”

Another feature is a mechanical speaking diaphragm or an optional company produced communications system. A butyl-coated nylon hood is used for head protection.
