Unless you are Darth Vader with an uncommon fetish of mask, the only time you put on a gas mask is when you are in dangerous situations, facing the risk of inhaling “airborne pollutants” and toxic gases. As if wearing a gas mask alone is not alarm enough, some decided that gas masks should be even weirder with a touch of abnormality, and probably creativity. Here are 15 weirdest gas mask designs for you to be in style even when you are running for your life.
Star Wars Darth Vader Gas Mask
You don’t have to be a Star Wars to associate anything dark and masked with Darth Vader. The Sith Lord, with the power of the Dark Side, would probably never need this stuff to protect himself. Thus, the Darth Vader gas mask remains a collectible and is not for actual usage.
