The springy exterior of the mask keeps the straps from pulling out, keeps the valve where it needs to be and holds the mask shape. The compliant, soft surface of the interior is perhaps the most important feature of the design both in terms of the fit and in preventing from dust from working its way around the side of the mask into your nose and mouth. With a mask without a valve my warm breath rises from the mask and fogs my glasses."
"Leaks are minimal to none and the only place the tape sits is where the mask touches the chin--not where air would be coming through anyway. (the pictures are with duct tape, but gorilla tape stays put about 10x better on the felt."
"I had read about the terrible air pollution in the big Chinese cities and my wife is very sensitive to this, so I was looking for something to help her."
"I needed something to wear when I cut the grass bc I would get so sick with other mask, this along with my 3m Virtua CCS protective eyewear works miracles for me!"
"Allergy's probably forced me in to dust masks and respirators, and sinus problems forced me to find something to use something to replace the standard dust mask, for sanding bare wood or cleaning up around the house I bought these and they are great. Well from my initial experience, they fit tighter but the valve makes it easier for me to breath."
Lightweight, non-slip strap that is easily adjusted in 4 positions for improved comfort and to allow safe use even in high humidity or wet conditions.

The double strap makes the mask secure but not too tight. A lot of the respirators I see look like they were styled after a WWII gas mask, big and bulky with canisters hanging off both sides. I do smell wood when I'm cutting so the filters that come with it are not meant to be used as a gas mask, only a particle filter. I have little experience with respirators, but I still have opinions, so here they are: 1."
"The elastic bands either break or start to come unravelled very quickly, and the band retainer clip plastic tabs are also prone to breaking easily, making the mask useless since you can't tighten the bands anymore. I am 5' 11" and medium build, so I don't think my face size is outside of what should be the sweet spot, but the mask feels just a tad too small."
"I wear this dust mask for woodworking in my garage. I just clean them out from time to time and they hold up well."
"It was an extremely hot day the first time I used it and I did sweat, but the mask held in place and I had no fogging issues or fit issues with this mask."
"I bought this as a comfortable alternative to the disposable masks."
"I got this to use whenever I'm sanding, and while it does well, my only complaint is that the nose piece comes up a little too high to be able to use safety glasses with it."

"I am allergic to mold, and that is the main reason I stock similar products around my garage and at my work bench. This item arrived with the original package (the black box shown in the product's picture) "crumbled", and it was not the cleanest one I have seen either."
"It keeps my allergies from making my life miserable for days after mowing, and in the shop I can work all year and in closed conditions without getting sinus infections and what-not."
"I didn't know that was not obvious, until I had a co worker complain of still breathing in dust and fogging up safety glasses."
"Better than standard mask, allows breath out and down which is super important for people who have to have glasses to see."

I had removed the entire, old broken harness, and then when I got ready to install the new once, it took a few minutes to figure out how the connections twisted in place since the connections are made with curves in the harness."
"You have to be careful when pulling this harness to tighten your respirator."
"Original equipment, perfect fit."
"I've already bought three and that basically means -- I bought a new mask."
"Received on time and got what I wanted."
"I'm on my 3rd set of replacement straps."
