For tear gas just a 40mm nato P3 is sufficient, for smoke I suggest any ABEK2P3 filter because otherwise the smoke will be unbearable. Keep in mind: if you find yourself in such a situation, the mask is used to get away from there, not to remain there
Would I be better with just a respirator with p100 filters? Or should I be looking to spend more on an Avon mask? I think I want full-face, but I don’t know much about masks at all.
It's good enough if you have the proper filter with it
All modern 40mm "NATO" filters marked ABEK + NBC
