Great alternative to paper masks. I purchased this mask so that I would be able to work outside with my allergies. At first it was a little uncomfortable on the bridge of my nose, but after I loosened the strap I could wear it all day long. Filters very well but can get warm/sweaty with temperatures above 80. Fair trade in my opinion for being able to be out doors and mow the lawn again.

This is the first respirator I have bought and did so based on other customer reviews. So far it has worked exceptionally well. I have recently even grown a beard and it still seals to my face without excessive pressure. The filters seem to do well and have prevented inhalation of dust. It functions considerably better than disposable fiber masks.

My allergic self has a tough time with dust, even though I like home DIY projects and woodworking. I've tried a couple of disposable masks, while blanching at the cost of the various powered respirators. I bought this one based on the reviews, and couldn't be happier. I have a large, Charlie Brown-sized head, AND a beard, and the mask fits comfortably. I wear it for extended periods of time, and, other than feeling a bit like a minor player in a Star Wars cantina, I don't mind it. I also wear safety glasses much of the time, on top of my prescription glasses, and everything fits. On my most recent sawing adventure, long, dusty cuts in MDF didn't leave me with the little nagging cough I use to experience for a week afterward.

If you hate sucking in sawdust, it's hard to beat this thing, especially at this price point.

I hate to differ with some of the reviewers but this mask is supposed to rest just below the lower lip on the face not down over the chin. I for one find this an easy mask to wear and work with because it doesn't feel as though someone is covering your face with a huge cumbersome mask. If it feels good on my face, I'll wear it, otherwise it'll sit on the bench in a corner. Thank you.

The fit is good (feels good on my flat, hairless face) and it functions well. The straps aren't the best and can slip a bit with use, but you can make your own or use a set you like from another/other mask. In the deep south heat it can get pretty wet inside the mask, but it won't effect the mask to much (and it is the same for all masks). Can't beat it for the price. Cheaper than the big box AO paint masks, or 3M masks, but you can't find replacement filters as easily either.
