This is an authentic French military gas mask and bag. It's known as an "ARF-A" (or ANP VP F1) which in French is short for "Appareil Normal de Protection à Visière Panoramique Mle F1" (English: normal protection apparatus with panoramic visor model F1). We originally thought these were the Polish copy, but it turns out they're the original French model! The two are nearly identical.
The masks are a toxic agent resisting polyurethane in tactical black color. The panoramic visor is also made of polyurethane. The masks come in good new-old-stock condition. The bags are in good used condition and may be dirty. The masks may come a little cloudy as you can see in the images—this can be cleaned to produce a clear visor. Great for cosplay and replica wear, you can be proud to own a genuine piece of military history. These come in two sizes: small/medium and large/x-large. The masks come in black and desert color and the bags come in OD green and desert color. Please select the size and color before ordering.
Military Surplus Sizing Guide
Due to the wide variety of surplus clothing we carry, a standardized sizing guide helps customers find the best fit. However, military surplus can vary significantly in fit and cut. This chart serves as a general reference rather than an exact, tailor-level measurement.
Each military has its own sizing system, which is why we’ve created this guide to help you understand how we size our surplus garments.
Jacket & Shirt Sizing
When an official military size chart is unavailable, we measure each jacket or shirt from armpit to armpit (PtP) to estimate its fit. If a measurement falls between sizes, we round it down. For example, a shirt with a 19.75" PtP is categorized as a Small rather than a Medium.
Sizing Chart (Armpit-to-Armpit Measurement)
- 14"-15" PtP = XXS
- 16"-17" PtP = XS
- 18"-19" PtP = Small
- 20"-21" PtP = Medium
- 22"-23" PtP = Large
- 24"-25" PtP = XL
- 26"-27" PtP = XXL
- 28"-29" PtP = 3XL
Pant Sizing
We convert military pants to standard U.S. waist and inseam sizes. If a pair measures between sizes, we round down. For example, a 33" waist is listed as a 32" waist.
How We Measure Pants:
- Waist: Pants are laid flat, and we measure straight across the waistband. This number is doubled to determine the U.S. waist size. (Example: A 16" flat waist measurement equates to a U.S. 32" waist.)
- Inseam: We measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff. (Example: A measurement of 30" from crotch to cuff is listed as a 30" inseam or 30L.)
