BASE CAMP Silver and Black Upgrade M Plus Dust Mask, Reusable Respirator Face Mask with 6 Activated Carbon Filters, Safety Work Masks for Woodworking, Construction, Yard Lawn Paint, Dust

Comfortable

I just used it today due to the smoky air in Calif during wildfires... ugh.And I did not smell the smoke through the mask. I took the mask off and smelled smoke. Put the mask back on, no smoke smell! Yay!I had to shorten the ear straps to make it fit my head. I think these are made for man heads. Not women heads, which is kind of messed up. How about a woman head mask! We need to protect our lungs too!!! And how about making them in colors other than black?PROS:lightcomfortable (after I fixed the ear strapsstays in placecan breathe easily through it.it forms a seal once I press the nose piece in place but it doesn't make a mark or feel uncomfyno fogging up the glasses if I press the nose piece in placeCONS:my head isn't a big ol' man head, so the strap around the back of my neck barely makes it to close, it's too long for women heads. but it does close and it does hold...it does get hot and my face does sweat under it, but that's okay, not a big deal. I am not suffocating.when I press the nose piece to form the seal, it does press on the sides of my nose a little and I do need to keep tugging at it from time to time to regain comfort. it's not a huge deal though.__Overall... I like this mask. I think if it was more form-fitting for a FEMALE that would be awesome.Recommended? Yes.I bought this because I hated wearing the N95 mask for fire smoke. This one can be washed unlike the N95. And it's got 2 respirators and not just one. Nice!******** UPDATE *********Well, I've started using this mask because of the smokiness due to fires. And I can honestly say, this mask is great. I have since adapted it to my female head by adding a strap to the ear loops which are rather silly...they don't stay on because they have no elastic (thus the man vs woman head issue). So... I added this little strap and it goes up over my head and holds the mask in place perfectly. Then I velcro the back (which is still too big for my head, but it does close, just has a "tail").It forms a seal and I can not smell any smoke at all. Even when it's quite hazy outdoors, I can't smell any smoke and after a while, I can breathe easily. My face sweats like crazy but it does that with an N95 too, so whatever.I'm very happy that this mask keeps my lungs clean! Love the dual breathing valves. They are more comfortable than an N95 mask. And I can wash this mask, and can't wash an N95, so that's awesome!HIGHLY RECOMMENDEDAnd if you need to add a strap to the ear loops go ahead. Because it works great then.

The mask is well-designed for fit and filtration. It doesn’t smell badly, as some reviews suggested. With two masks and a few extra filters, the value for what you get is acceptable. It helped protect my lungs when there was a fire a few towns over so it seems to have done what it’s supposed to do. The description said the strap that goes around the back of the head is a hook & eye typa thing. It is not - it is Velcro. With long hair, this can be an issue. Buyer beware, I suppose. The material of the mask seems durable and better-sourced than some other masks I’ve had. Feels like it’ll last a while. Still irritated about that Velcro situation, truth be told. I even messaged the seller about it. No response and false advertising = took away a star.

Good fit and quality for the price. Easy to find replacement filters too unlike one I purchased from another store. HF.

I hate that this is non returnable. I bought these for my spray tan business and they are way too big for our faces. Very large and bulky.

I had to order more than one of these masks. The inside carbon filter picks up a lot of dust while I am weed eating and mowing. The black outer dust mask is easily cleaned in your washing machine. You can take out the carbon filter you do need patience to put the valves back on. If the valves were bigger for older people that would be great! However I have put the mask back together again. Again this mask is great for Allergies especially when you are kicking up all that dust and dirt. It is comfortable easy to put around your ears and back of neck and attach Velcro. It is breathable and sweating will not easily make it fall off it hangs on tight to your face. I ordered more than one set. This is a great birthday or holiday gift for anyone that has to do any type of cleaning, wood working etc. Anyone would love this Dust Mask.

I use them for woodworking, especially to keep the fine dust out of the lungs while sanding. I am only a hobbyist so I don't wear them for 8 hours straight. But to use them on and off they are comfortable enough that I don't feel bothered by them. Not sure if it keeps 100% of the fine dust out but it certainly is better than not wearing anything at all.
