Helly Hansen - Model LFG
The mask consisted of a big open visor which streched down the right side of the mask. The LFGs oral nasal cup was made up of green PVC as the mask itself and was transparent around the edge. The mask was equipped with voice diaphragm, which could be unscrewed. The exhale valve had the same shape as used on the IMA, IMB, LFC and LF-62. The LFG mask used a thin 40mm filter which had the exact same color as the mask itself. The designation is not known.
