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."
"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!"
"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."
"The elastic straps are nice and don't snag my hair, and the nose budge fits larger shnozzes more effectively the older models with less breath fogging your safety glasses They are also thicker, with more plush filter material."
"Like these because of the breath out center that helps lessen feeling of suffocation."
"With this mask on, I can breathe comfortably through nose while exercising, which was rather difficult without."
"They are absurdly tight."

I ordered from another Amazon seller hoping they would get it right, but still got the plain 8210 masks with the weaker, rubbery straps."
"When you adjust it on your face, or you pull it down so's to get your point across more clearly to your fellow masked individual, or any such action, you're pulling the foam nose piece around inside the mask."

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."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I'm actually LAUGHING at those 1 and 2 star reviews and of those who claim the plastic shield is "misty", or "opaque"... and not clear. Perfect for what I'll use it for (grinding metal), and cheap enough to toss when it's scratched and hard to see out of."
"I used it as a prop for my sci-fi film."
"For all of the 1 star reviews that I just shake my head at...The mask is PERFECTLY CLEAR (you need to pull off both the INSIDE AND OUTSIDE protective film)."
"Two reasons...the replacement shields are overpriced in my opinion and I felt the swivel joints that hold the shield in place when it is raised and lowered seems rather flimsy."
"The only drawback and this isn't specific to this mack is that the static that builds up will cause sawdust to cling to it, which lessens visibility a bit but, can easily be wiped off."
"I use this face shield primarily for grinding, but I do also use it when working with chemical solvents (brake cleaner when cleaning carburetors). Like others have said, this face shield feels really light, and sometimes you forget you have them on!"
"It's a UVEX helmet, not sure why it says Sperian S8500."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I have used mine a lot and have got them extremely sweaty and gross with almost no noticed wear on the plastic or soft foam."
"Needed goggles that would go over glasses."
"You can make ANY goggles virtually "fog free" (under most conditions) by marking them with plain bar-soap. Simply make a few swipes on the inside of the goggles with a plain white soap bar, then wipe the marks around until the goggles are clear and clean. If you work in very hot or cold conditions, there will be a differential in temperature between the inside and outside of your goggles or glasses. The soap film will help prevent condensation (fog) from forming under most conditions, but it won't work permanently in 90-degree sunshine or freezing temperatures. If for some reason you are required to work under those extreme conditions, you just have to remove the goggles and equalize inside-to-outside temperatures more often. Otherwise, It is the differential between the inside temperature and outside temperature of the lens that cause condensation."
"That creates a lot of dust and other dead stuff just waiting to get in your eyes when you do Honey Do things outside."
"Keeps almost all of the fine sawdust out of my eyes & is comfortable to wear for an extended period of time."
"I’ve been sanding thru anti fouling, paint and gel coat getting a 31’ full keel sailboat hull ready for 5 coats of west epoxy."
"The rubber around the glasses that go against your face is comfortable and tight to where no dust or dirt comes through."
"The attached image shows some of the dust caked inside the vented top section of the goggles."

Find Best Price at Amazon"There is a reason these Howard Leight Impact Sport muffs are probably the most popular model of their type on the market -- they're dirt cheap and work very well. We're also big into the night vision world, so I was pleasantly surprised when the Team Wendy ComTac headset adapters worked with these muffs almost PERFECTLY (see photos I've attached to this review). They Howard Leights -- in our extensive experience -- are: MORE durable, MORE comfortable, have MUCH better battery installation, LOOK better, FEEL like they're higher quality, PERFORM better, and now that we've discovered they can use the Peltor helmet mount adapters, there is simply NO reason to ever get another set of the cheap Peltors."

They were losing some of the warmth when the sheepskin was worn down. The heel bottoms are just starting to get a little flat but they should be just fine for the rest of this season. The toe and middle sections are still fluffy and the heels can still be fluffed up a little."

You can also adjust the apron effectively to the height that you would prefer by pulling the straps down further through the waist rivets."
"I wanted a heavy duty apron and this is it."
"My husband needed to replace his old work apron used in his woodworking shop and he had specific request..a full cover apron but it can't hang on the back of his neck which puts a strain on that area ....it must have pockets enough for cell phone, pencils, note paper, hankie, and the all important ruler...and it has to be durable and not ugly....My answer was are you kidding???"
