ADF-10 Respirator 

First issued in the early 90s as a replacement for the M17, the ADF-10 is the Australian modified version of the S10 respirator. The main modification for the ADF-10 was the replacement of the rubber head harness with the harness seen with the Avon FM12 Respirator in order to increase user comfort in Australia’s hot climate. Additionally, the ADF-10 also used the FM12s drinking tube assembly.

The ADF-10 would be available in 4 sizes:

• Size 1: Large (12%)
• Size 2: Medium (80%)
• Size 3: Small (5%)
• Size 4: Extra Small (3%)

The ADF-10 would be paired with a variety of different filters. From the 90s to the mid to late 2000s Israeli Type-80 filters were used with the ADF-10, which were later replaced by Avon AMF12 filter canisters. If a C420 Powered Air Purifying Respirator is used with the S10, then FR-57 filters manufactured by 3M would be used.

The haversack issued is manufactured by Reploy and was made in an Olive Green colour. The haversack has space for the mask, 2 filter canisters (One already connected to the mask), cotton "inner" glove liners, rubber "outer" chemical gloves and space for atropine autoinjectors 

When the mask is used in a heavily contaminated environment, it would be paired with the Australian version of the Remploy No1 Mk IV NBC/CBRN suit printed in DPCU/Auscam camouflage, or in the case of the Royal Australian Navy, a Light Grey/White suit would be used. 

The ADF-10 was only modified in Australia, the face piece it self was still manufactured by Avon Rubber in the United kingdom.  In 2014 Australian special forces switched to the Avon Protection FM53 Respirator, which was then, along with the ADF-10 in general, later phased out in favour for the Airboss Low Burden Mask (LBM).
