Outdoor Research Essential Face Mask Kit

I bought this based on the reviews and my experience with Outdoor Research gear, which I've always found to be well designed, sturdy and comfortable. This mask is typical for OR gear, which is kind of expensive but well thought out and particularly well made. It covers quite a lot of the face, which helps to prevent air from escaping the sides or slipping in. The fabric is a soft, quick drying and very breathable polyester. It has pockets on each side to hold the sides of a replaceable filter and it comes with three disposable filters. It would be nice if it came with more, but they're easy to find and you'd want to order more anyway. Without the filters, the mask is very breathable--more than any disposable mask I have used--so it is nice if you are running or biking outdoors in an area with a mask policy. With the filter in place, it is still at least as breathable as a disposable surgical mask and better than an N95. There is a wire nose-piece for a custom fit and it is comfortable and is better than average at preventing glasses fogging. The straps are adjustable, which allows for a snug fit without making your ears sore after a few hours. My only complaint is that the disposable filters tend to slip over time and don't stay right in place, but they stay inside the mask. I've begun using some PM2.5 replacement filters that stay in place fine, though. I have to wear a mask all day at work, and I think it's both more comfortable and more effective that any of the disposable masks I've been wearing until now. The mask is relatively expensive compared to others, but you do get what you pay for. At the end of a long day, I'm glad I spent the 20 bucks on it and I'd definitely recommend it if you're looking for a high quality washable mask for daily use.

I hate that masks are such a necessity these days, but the OR mask is the best that I've ran across. I wear glasses so its tough to get ones that won't fog up my glasses, and the nose wire on these helps a lot. Its also very comfortable with adjustable ear loops, and I took one to Mexico and wore it everyday on planes and buses for four months; even though I had brought other masks they were much more uncomfortable, especially after a while on longer rides unlike the OR mask which was more tolerable. I washed the same mask every night- and by morning it was always dry even with high humidity in the rooms I stayed in- and it held up great despite also being repeatedly crushed in my pocket. Though I like this mask has the additional pocket for filters, I just don't use them (even though maybe I should)- however I've yet to get sick irregardless even after being squeezed into a Mexico City subway car like a sardine, flying on an airplane for eight hours and riding on a very full Amtrak train with this mask on. I'm not saying you should trust your life to these masks so you can travel around the world in the middle of a pandemic that is continuing to get worse, but if I had only one mask I took with me and wore everyday- this would be it.

OK, lightweight:yes, color orange, nose piece nice, adjustable ear strings a plus.I bought this mask when my state re-issued an indoor mask mandate, vaccinated or not.I wanted light weight, breathable, non glasses fogging. Well, it is light weight and orange. For its described use, outdoor cardio, its works well. The nose wire is malleable and form fitting around the nose. The ear strings are strong and each one is adjustable to accommodate different face shapes and sizes. Each string's length can be adjusted for length above and below the ear. So if you have a long jaw the part of the string below the ear can be made longer than the part of the string above the ear. For added protection, you can also insert a disposable filter inside the mask using the little pockets on each side of the mask.Now for breath ability, it is somewhat challenging if you don't want your breath blowing out the sides, and almost impossible if you add the disposable filter. I read one reviewer that said, (and I paraphrase) once the sweat builds up, the mask seals to the face. I used the mask for an hour of cardio with sweat dripping off me, my breath still blew out the sides. For outdoor cardio, (its intended use) I think it is fine. For indoor use such as, in a gym doing cardio, I recently purchased a Mission mask, which I believe works better for indoor cardio. Once you build up a sweat, the Mission mask seals around the face and is easier to breathe through and doesn't fog your glasses (that old men like me need to wear in order to be able to see things, such as the TV, clearly.Both mask will cause your glasses to fog, but once you build up a sweat, I would choose the Mission mask for indoor use and this mask for outdoor use.That's all I got...

I've bought a half-dozen face masks since the pandemic started, but none fits nearly as well as this one. The issue as I see it is that there's a lot of variation in human faces, and manufacturers for now can only provide a handful of sizes and designs. Luckily for me, this model fits my massive nose and I can use it with glasses without the usual extreme fogging. It all comes down to the design of the upper edge of the mask: it follows the contour of my face very well, it's pulled tight by the earloops (which have neat beads to resize them), sits neither too low nor too high, and has a metal nosepiece of generous length, that reaches far enough to keep the mask pressed against the skin even under the eyes. Neither Atoms, nor Tom Binh, nor several cheaper models can do any of that for me, although they could work for you if your nose is not quite as colossal.Keep in mind that there will still be a little fogging, presumably getting worse as the weather gets colder. Fogging aside, it's reasonably comfortable for a tight-fitting face mask, and with filters included it's good value for money when compared to other brand-name offerings. Even with the filter on ease of breathing is reasonable, roughly on par with a disposable N95 mask (and with the added advantage of much better fit). The only issue I've found is that inserting filters is rather finicky, but I'll happily deal with that considering how good the mask is otherwise.

リピ買いです。毎日使ってます。

初めてこのマスクを使ったのは、友人からのプレゼントでした。通気性も良く、しっかり鼻と口をカバーしてくれます。今回は、洗い替え用に自分でもう１枚購入しました。不織布のフィルターを内側にセットできるようになっていますが、このフィルターが少々値段が高め！何回かは洗って再利用できます。最初はフィルターをセットして使っていましたが、ちょっと内側のポケットにきれいにはめるのが面倒です。マスクの生地自体にウイルスカットのコーティングがされているので、今はフィルター無しで使用しています。ただ、最初付けたとき特有の匂いがあります。コーティングの匂いでしょうか？洗う内に匂いも弱くなってきましたが、人によってはこの匂いはダメかも。私は直ぐに慣れましたが・・・。ちょっと高めですが、いいマスクだと思います。

期待していた通りのデカサです。顔面が大きい人にはお勧めですし、話してもズレてきませんのでハナマスクになりません。大きさのイメージは一般に出回っている不織布の大人用大で話すと突っ張ったりズレてしまう人にはピッタリだと思います。

まあまあです。生地厚みもまあまああります。キャンプ中のおしゃれ用マスク。散歩中のおしゃれアイテム。人混みではちゃんとした白いマスクがいい。そんなかんじ
