Soviet-Era Full-Hood Mask
The GP-5 is the full-hood rubber gas mask that Russia and the Soviet Union issued in very large numbers for civil defense. Instead of strapping onto the face, the grey rubber hood pulls over the whole head and seals by its own tension. It is genuine issue, and collectors, reenactors, cosplayers and Cold War display builders look for it because it is among the most recognizable masks of the period.
Features
- One-Piece Rubber Hood — A single molded grey rubber shell covers the head from crown to chin, so there are no head straps or buckles to adjust.
- Twin Round Eyepieces — Two circular lenses sit in raised metal retaining rings, giving the GP-5 its well-known wide-eyed look.
- Threaded Chin Port — A brown threaded connector at the chin is where a screw-in canister filter attaches.
- Clamped Port Ring — A ribbed metal band crimps the rubber tightly around the chin fitting.
- Pull-Over Fit — The stretch of the rubber holds the hood in place once it is pulled down over the head.
- Original Russian Issue — Government-produced kit with genuine provenance, not a later commercial copy.
- Cold War Display Piece — Easy to identify at a glance, which makes it a staple for military collections, reenactment impressions and film or cosplay costumes.
Issue and Design
The GP-5 design dates to the Soviet period and was produced for mass distribution, which is why the hood is so simple: one rubber piece, two lenses and a single filter port. The mask shown is the grey hood only. It is sold as a collectible and display item, with no claim made about protective performance.

Great Fit and Easy to UseI bought this as an addition to my emergency preparedness kit and it works great with standard 40mm filters I already had on hand. The pull-over design makes it quick to put on, which is exactly what you want in an emergency situation.

Cool collectable... or costume piece!Used these ina few photoshoots! Really cool stuff, but very tight and uncomfortable to wear. Watch out, the lenses are glass! Found this out the hard way, so I have to but a new mask ;)
