I use the 3M 1860 N95 respirator for mowing the lawn, and it is great. I'm allergic to the grass, as well as other debris from the lawn mower. Without a respirator (or even WITH one that doesn't filter as well) I have trouble breathing afterward. This is just the product for me.

I ordered this product to protect myself from getting sick while flying. While waiting at the gate for the last flight I took, I noticed some very sick, symptomatic people waiting for my flight and I was unprotected. And guess what, I became very ill 3 days after flying. A client of mine recommended an "N-95" mask, so I googled and found the best price on Amazon. When the product arrived, I was impressed with the quality and especially the breatheability. Two weeks later the story broke about the man that flew with TB. But I am now protected. An unexpected bonus was that this mask saved me and allowed me to continue working during the raging wildfires in Southeastern Georgia/Northern Florida, in the region where I live. The smoke hung in the air thicker than fog.

I use this mask almost daily. I have problems with scents like perfume, cologne, candles, cleaning products, etc. These masks allow me to be near these areas.
