NASUM Dust Face Cover Paint Cover, for Painting, Dust, Particulate, Machine Polishing, Welding and Other Work Protection, with Safety Goggle & 4 Pieces Filter Cotton

If you need to breathe this will work. Would be better if the goggles did not have so much condensation, but I did not make the needed adjustments as it was my first time wearing.

I use it for protection against Covid 19, it is much better than the common mask because this respirator can be used for weeks and does not let air enter from the sides. If used with the matching “googles” the level of protection is really high.

Just received it and couldn't wait to try it on. Excellent quality mask and respirator. I often wear spectacles while working with wood and mask sits nicely over them and no pressure or discomfort. Respirator has handy loom at the back to sit firmly on your face and not to drop it down when you less expecting it. Respirator comes with spare filters too

I was after a decent mask, ideally from 3M, to change our loft insulation but since the pandemic hit getting P3 filters for 3M masks is really difficult.It is also pretty expensive by the times you have bought the 3M mask itself, the filter box housing for your application, the clear plastic caps and finally the P3 filters for the dust.*Edit - I can confirm the 3M branded filters do indeed fit perfectly on this mask. See my pictures of the 3M 2135 filters as an example.*So, enter the NASUM mask solution. It is priced very well (even better since I purchased on a timed deal via Amazon) and you get the mask, the filter housing (same as 3M, so charcoal type filter box), the clear plastic caps and finally some cotton filters, which in all honesty, just look like cotton face pads for taking your makeup off!So, those white filters are maybe P1 AT BEST....I plan to put several of the pads in at the same time to provide better filtration than just the one pad.As for the filter box - again the info is a bit vague, they state 99.95% filtration but it does not say it specifically filters chemicals or vapours though the pictures on the advert show workers in chemical environments such as weed killers and paint fumes.I've also seen this which refers to the box filters that come with the NASUM mask : "The most common rating for disposable dust masks is N95, which will filter 95% of airborne particles that are not oil-based. N95 covers most wood shop dust, allergens, and airborne diseases."Overall, there are no numbers or markings on the filter telling you what it actually filters so you are relying on their advertising.Harping back to 3M, you would buy a filter box to protect you from a specific chemical or vapour. Of course, this NASUM mask is not marketed at the same price point so we have to consider this.Interestingly the filter boxes are made by a company called Lotus NL B.V from the Netherlands. I am not sure yet how well this company or importer is regarded but doing a quick bit of research shows, again like the NASUM mask, a mixture of good and bad. I've added a picture of the name and address for you to research and draw your own conclusions.The mask fits well, I have a fairly small head/face but it seems to seal well enough. I do tend to get a bit of air escaping at the top of my nose so I will need to either tighten or re-position it before I use it in anger.The rubbery material that presses against your face is nice and soft and thankfully there is no nasty chemical smell, if anything I find the plastics smell quite nice.I tested by blocking the various holes with no filters on to see if I can create a vacuum or detect where air is escaping or entering the mask.The exhaust vent at the front seems to flow very well so when all filters are on (inc the cotton ones) you can breathe very easily.The mask will take 3M branded filters.The mask itself actually does look like a clone of the 3M 6000 series mask, even down to the M above the noise portion facing the front of the mask.You can buy spares for this NASUM mask on Amazon at the moment.There are rubber seals where the side filter boxes affix. They do attach differently, so for one side you clip in and rotate in a different direction than the other side.Downsides are certainly going to be the quality of the plastics. Certainly a star knocked off for this. I am thinking possibly two stars but this will depend how well they hold up after a few uses.As you can see from my pictures a lot of the joints, which will be under stress in use and particularly during putting the mask on and taking it off, are the weak points.They look like they are just basic push fit/clip type fixings and once these break the mask is pretty much over with.The elastic bands just go through some rudimentary slits in the clip so not the best design.Now, admittedly, these do look to be the same style as those on the 3M mask but without a 3M version to compare with I doubt these are of the same quality.The plastics feel softish and quite flexible so no glue will work to repair these long term.I purchased the filter with the goggles, and these seem to be very well made. They fit well and there are no sharp edges and seal well. They might steam up despite the vents in them, but most googles do. The band at the back is nice and thick, almost like ski goggles, so should be comfortable for extended use.So in conclusion, a good mask with all the filters to get you up and running for basic filtration against low risks such as dusty environments like a loft or cleaning garages, sheds etc.What would I use this mask for:Loft insulation dust and fibres - yesCleaning a shed or garage - yesGardening, cutting grass etc - yesWeed killer chemicals - maybePaint fumes - maybeWood filler fumes - maybeExpanding foam fumes - maybeWould I use them for harmful chemicals - noWould I use them for Covid protection - noAsbestos - noFor me, if there was anything remotely harmful to health which I wanted protection from I would invest in a known brand and purchase the relevant filter against those chemicals and include P3 filters.This is a mask that is probably going to break or wear out quickly mainly due to the weak points in the bands and clips holding it on so I will try to take care when putting on and taking off.4/5 stars for now. This will be reviewed after my loft insulation job!EDIT: after two hours wearing I can say this mask is very comfortable to wear whilst removing old loft insulation.The dust was pretty bad but at all times I felt I could breath really well with fresh filtered air.As you can see from the last picture the filter had captured a lot of dust. I used two of the thin outer filters.Only the outer most filter actually captured the dust, so the next filter in was clean.I also tested spraying some bleach cleaner and I could hardly detect the smell of the bleach whilst wearing this mask.So I never felt suffocated from wearing this mask and it was very comfortable.All the clips and straps held up well. No breakages during the two hour use crawling around the loft.I did find at times I needed to move the mask up over my face to keep it in position but this could mean I need to tighten the straps further. This was partly due to perspiration.There was slight pressure on the bridge of my nose - but this is to be expect after two hours of use.This was so much more comfortable than say a washable cloth mask that I wear to the supermarket!I would say this is certainly a 4 star mask, probably nearer the 5 star now I have used it.As before, totally recommend this mask for use - I just wish you could buy P3 equivalent filters easily.Edit 2: I have used the mask with the included hard plastic filters and I have to say these do work very well.I used bleach and limescale cleaner to give the shower cubicle a good clean up and with these filters I couldn't detect any odour at all.Taking the mask off gave you that instant blast of bleach and/or the limescale cleaner! So, yes, the canisters must contain a good mixture of charcoal to remove any smells.I am impressed!

Main reason for purchasing is to protect us from coronavirus. Me and the Mrs look like absolute twats whilst entering our local supermarket but better to be safe than sorry. One thing to watch out for is the awkwardness of attaching the filters; I found that the starting position before twisting on the filter was different for each side of the mask. Also, the comfort is bad so try wearing for short periods at a time - I found that it put alot of pressure on the nose. Additionally you don't get to choose the size of the mask, so we found that the mask would fit and irritate us in different ways. Overall the mask provides greater protection than a flimsy scarf on the face so we're happy with the purchase.

I was very surprised how comfortable these are and as I wear classes, they fit perfectly. There is the embarrassment factor of looking like a Storm Trooper, but you know what, I recently went to hospital for a Blood Test and was asked three times by nurses where I obtained them from. And another couple of patients asked the same. They steam up! Not a great issue. Comfortable to wear, feeling of safety is a bonus. We were recently asked to look after a little boy for a couple of hours after his mother came down with the virus, no doubt he was a carrier, but I had no fear, because I felt safe behind my goggles. Yes we played storm Troopers, he loved it. The ambulance crew were impressed. I’m 66 and taking no chances.

I really liked this respirator and it did the job in protecting me from some evil flooring adhesive. It seemed to form a reasonable seal around the nose and mouth and also around the eyes, although the goggles don't really seem large enough to accommodate glasses properly (they fitted over them - just- but in my case broke the seal). The straps are sufficiently adjustable to create a good seal without undue pressure. I did not smell the adhesive whilst wearing them even though the smell was obvious in adjacent rooms even with the doors shut, so I assume they were working well.

Fantastic for the money! Comfortable and protect very well
