It also features two speech diaphragms as well as a built-in water supply system that includes a drink tube made of butyl rubber that is designed to connect to a water bottle (imported separately). The mask is held securely to the face by adjustable rubber straps and comes in small, medium and large sizes. The M3 Mask, together with the appropriate filters, is intended to be used in the protection of respiratory organs against Nuclear, Biological and Chemical (NBC) contaminants.
