Reusable Respirator Half Facepiece 7501, NIOSH, Small | 3M Cool Flow Valve, Dual Airline Supplied Air Compatible, Integrated Dropdown Suspension, Bayonet Connections

Had to buy online because big box store only carried the large sizes, suitable for men. The small size fit me well. The mask was generally more comfortable than I thought, even working in a heat wave. Made the bridge of my nose ever so slightly bruised feeling, but I had it on tight for many hours a day for several days and have an extra prominent bridge. Used it while cutting plaster and it was great not to have a noseful of potentiallyvery hazardous dust. Easy to take on and off and the round filters lock in easily, so you feel confident. Fits under a face shield and even in a bee suit. Very good when used as intended. Remember that if it doesn't fit snugly, a mask won't work!

I use this mask for home remodeling projects. I have a smaller face, so getting a good fit can be a challenge. This mask is sized (bought a small), and is framed in silicone. The silicone makes for a more comfortable, tight fit and it worked! The down side is that if you are working in a humid place, get ready to sweat. Probably most hilarious is that while it slide around on my sweating face, it didn't lose the seal, so I guess that's a plus! Highly adjustable so you can minimize nose bridge pain.

Excellent quality respirator. The real deal. Fits great. And shipping was excellent

My teenage daughter started showing interest in helping me in my garage shop doing woodworking projects. I keep a supply of disposable masks around for people helping out, and she had previously used those. Now that she's getting more involved and we are also starting to do in finishing projects. I decided a full respirator was needed. This is the same model I wear, just in a smaller size. It fits her well and she agrees with me that it is comfortable enough to wear for the lenth of time we are working.

I bought the small size respirator (7501) because several reviewers who bought larger ones (7502 and 7503) wished they had gotten small instead. Besides, the small was half the cost (less than $17) of the medium and large versions (around $35) on Amazon for some reason. However, when I tried it on, I had problems that other reviewers complained about: the silicone part of the mask collapsed on my face, the force on the bridge of my nose was painful and my eyeglasses were pushed so high that I couldn’t see straight. It turns out that this was because the elastic strap was cut to a length suitable for a small head while mine is large. Even with the strap adjusted to its longest length, it was still too short and pulled the mask too tightly onto my face, distorting it. When I hold the mask against my face without the strap, it fits me perfectly. My glasses sit behind the nosepiece and my eyes are centered in the lenses. So I bought a 1-1/2 yard piece of black half-inch wide elastic strap from the sewing department at WalMart for about a dollar. Cutting the new strap in half, one piece for each side of the mask, gave me an extra 4 inches of slack at each of the 4 adjustment points. I used a lighter to melt the loose threads at the strap ends so they wouldn’t unravel. I am now able to adjust the mask so that it’s both comfortable and seals well. This respirator comes without filters because there are many types to choose from depending on your intended use. I just need a dust filter for a wood shop and any of the pancake filters work for this purpose such as the 3M 2097 or 2297. One reviewer said he had to buy additional parts to adapt his filter to the mask, but these pancake filters just fit directly onto the side ports. Press on and twist a bit. Overall I’m satisfied. Replacing the strap was worth the effort given the 50% discount on the 7501. I took one star off for the effort needed to make it work.

I'd been using my husband's older model medium mask for projects. With the last two weeks of heavy wildfire smoke I decided to get my own and instead of the all-purpose filters I switched to the lighter 2071 pancake filters. I haven't had the chance yet to use in smoky conditions but I'll update this when I do. I'm a 5'10" female, 170lbs, with an average sized face/head and a small fits me fine. Though the straps could be a little longer. A little adjusting and I was able to get it to work. It's nice that the exhale valve points downward so it would do for a Covid mask as well. It works just fine with my prescription safety glasses and my regular glasses. This does not come with filter media, you'll have to order that separately.

Yes! It fits! I’m a pretty normal size woman. I read reviews here and because of them I bought a small and it’s perfect. When you have one that’s too big ( I had a large) it does not seal, it gets in the way of safety glasses and you fog up. Apparently 70 % of people need a medium. I read that as 70 % of men need a medium so I took a gamble that small would work and I’m so happy I went for small. It’s worth the extra for the comfort of this model. I very much like the vent that is down to reduce fogging.

I use them with the 7093b filters because the filters are light and fight close to the face and are small. this mask is very light weight. fake versions are sold through some websites but this is the real deal. It has very soft rubber so its easy to get a good seal. I use this with rubber sealed goggles when I have to go out for food during this Covid-19 pandemic as I have bad lungs. I trust this mask with my Life.
