Italian M90 Gas Mask Bag

Italian Army M90 Mask Bag

This is the carrier the Italian Army issued for its M90 gas mask, made to keep the respirator protected and within reach on the move. It carries over the shoulder on an adjustable strap or rides on a belt using the clips on the back. Collectors building out Italian kit, reenactors and anyone who wants a tough shoulder bag for a mask, filters or field essentials will find it useful.

Features

• Cordura Construction — The body is Cordura, a heavy woven nylon known for standing up to abrasion and scuffing.
• OD Green Finish — The bag is olive drab (OD) green throughout, the standard field color for issued load-carrying gear.
• Buckle-Secured Flap — A deep top flap closes over the opening and fastens with a webbing strap and side-release buckle that you can work with gloves on.
• Adjustable Shoulder Strap — A wide webbing strap attaches with snap hooks at each side and adjusts through a slider for length.
• Rear Belt Clips — Two slide-lock clips on a reinforced webbing band let you mount the bag on a load-bearing or pistol belt in place of the shoulder strap.
• Leg Tie Strap — A webbing strap sewn low on the back wraps around the thigh to stop the bag from swinging when you walk or run.
• Bar-Tacked Stress Points — Box-and-cross stitching reinforces the strap anchors and belt band where the load pulls hardest.
• Tall Tapered Body — The upright, tapered shape follows the profile of the mask it was built to hold, with a gusseted front for extra room.

Original Issue Spec

The bag was issued by the Italian Army as part of the M90 respirator system, so it was built to a military pattern rather than a commercial one. You get three ways to carry it: over the shoulder, on a belt, or on a belt with the leg tie fastened. Genuine issue gear like this is the real article for an Italian Army display or loadout, and the Cordura shell makes it practical for everyday use as well.
