Insulation Mask
I work in attics and crawlspaces and this is definitely a must have. Very durable, reliable, great comfort and fitting

Great mask
Comfortable, seals great and doesnโt fog up welding mask or safety glasses because it directs exhaust straight down. Also sits closer to face so safety glasses donโt sit too far away.

It works, which outweighs the discomfort
Ordered during California wildfires when we had orange skies in the Bay Area (welcome to Mars!). It arrived quite fast, and I appreciate that very much. The great stuff: I was wearing the respirator when not in calls, since it muffles the voice a lot. Used a compatible cartridge for organic vapor/acid gas (6003/07047*) and I felt much better: less dizzy, clearer head, less tired. Fits very comfortably. Exhaled air is vented downwards, so this is good for COVID too. The downsides are: strong rubber smell and pressure where neck meets the back of the head. Wearing it leaves a red stripe on the nose bridge, where silicone is rubbing on it, which disappears fast. Nevertheless the benefits of this respirator mask make it a great purchase.

Good mask
Good tight fit, filters worked well. Plastic a little hard and glasses had tendency to fog up.

I chose this respirator due to the superior comfort that it provides versus other models.
This is only the second respirator I have ever used before in my life, but compared to the other one that I tried out, it is a dream come true, definitely on another league when compared to the other. The other one was a from a cheap Mexican brand, namely "Surtek", and boy was it horrible! It felt pretty comfortable, although after about two hours of use I did want to take it off. I saw another 3M respirator that had sort of a fastening device/mechanism, but this one lacks such feature. However, this one seemed to provide better comfort, so I went for that instead, and I was not disappointed. I feel like it was a good purchase.

Works under my helmet.
FIlters out all the crap you get when MIG welding and fits under my auto helmet with no issues. I keep it in a large plastic bag on my welding cart when not in use. Laying around or just hanging on gas valve the filters get dusty and loose their effectiveness. Top rated filter for welders.

Replacement to for a 15 year old respirator
This respirator is comfortable, easy to put on and easy to adjust the straps for an air tight seal. With the chemical vapor cartridges and P100 filters it provides assurance against anything that may be hanging in the air. Picked up some spare P100 filters to wear when the vapor cartridges are not needed.

Great fit and function
Well made and comfortable. Condensation while in a cool garage but that is expected

Best respirator available in this class
Could not be happier with this respirator, don't bother with anything else, get this one. I wear a respirator for 5-8 hours straight at least two days a week and I have tried a bunch of different brands and models, this has been by far the most comfortable to wear. The exhaust coming out of the bottom also keep your safety glasses from fogging up which is a huge problem with just about every half-face piece I have ever tried. I will be buying these for all my employees, because when PPE is comfortable people will actually wear it.

Good product, comfortable to wear, questionable packaging
I bought it for spray paint for hobby build and also as an alternative to N95 mask as they are almost impossible to get at the moment. To be honest, I was a little bit disappointed when I saw the mask is packaged in a resealable bag. and the seal is open (probably due to the shipping etc.) The mask itself is comfortable to wear, and my head is about 17cm wide and 31cm height, the medium size fits perfectly. I followed the instruction video from 3M to test the seal, and adjust the belt. The filters lock is a bit tricky, I have to twist them hard to fasten them. Overall, a satisfactory product

3M rugged half mask 6502
So far I like the fit, fits better than my other ones, I wear glasses so the bigger test is, will they cause my glasses to fog up like my others in the cold weather.
