Welcome to GasmaskNL

Welcome to my homepage.

Update Jan. 2008
Ahum Yahoo Geocities warned me that I haven't updated my wesite a long time. Good excuse to create some new pages. There's so much more to post, but so little time. I hope to update the site soon.

Introduction
As the name already suggests, I am living in the Netherlands and I have a great interest in gasmasks, respirators, full face masks, NBC and hazmat gear, rubber and military gear.

I do not only collect the gear but enjoy it as well wearing it.

Put on combat gear and NBC suit and don a gasmask
Your face covered by a piece of rubber, tight sealed,
Looking through eyeglasses of whatever size or shape,
Breathing deep through a air purifying filter, direct connected or through a rubber hose,
Feel the breathing resistance,
Hear the inhale and exhale valves flutter as you breathe.
Smell the rubber taste......

Besides the combat and NBC gear, I love to wear rubber especially black rubber drysuits.
I am a certified scuba diver and I must say that diving in a rubber drysuit is an ultimate feeling.
Try to delay the inflation of your drysuit underwater and you can feel the suit pressing closer to the body.
However always be aware of squeeze!
I had not the opportunity yet to dive with a full face mask, but it is still on my wanted list.

After surfing around the web and enjoying the many homepages and great pics I have seen, I thought it is time to create my own homepage. So I took the camera dressed up and started to make pics. On the following pages I will give an impression of my interests. The pages are country or mask oriented.
I will try to update the site from time to time with new pics with hopefully new masks!
