why do gas masks look so cool?
They just DO man.
Government spooks always get the best looking equipment
Some of them look like retarded airshit though.

Nothing wrong with the Air Force one though. Redundant canisters allow the user to change one without risking exposure. Drinking tube allows the user to hydrate without removing the mask. AF mask also has a better field of vision.
You are retarded.

I'd rather have the weight on the sides of my face than out on the front

The Air Force one is a way better design.

I actually think the air force mask looks cool.

Except that's an Israeli civilian mask, most modern military masks have filters on the inside or sides so you can have somewhat of a cheek weld.

Because you're a NEET faggot who has never had to wear one except to huff jenkem
Considering how many people think gas masks look neat there has to be some sort of scientific explanation behind it.
Then again folk also look cooler when wearing balaclava's, maybe human faces are just not very aesthetic when it comes to operating.

It's because they look vaguely human, yet at the same time skeletal (emphasis on empty eye sockets, emulated by the large eye glass pieces where you rarely see the actual human eyes beneath))
That coupled with their association with deadly situations, thus death, thus again skulls, even if the skull thing isn't accurate the representation that if you ever see anyone wearing one/need one you're in a woefully bad situation, so some part of people who like them longs for a situation that requires them. Basically, those who wish to live through somewhere between a happening and an apocalypse

I've always found gas masks to look more like insect heads than skulls
Old masks are fucking weird. I've got a couple that use wet sponges as filters.
Quick question, do any of you guys know if the E-O14 filter is "safe" to use?
