DrägerX-plore 3500 half-face respirator mask with P100 particle filters against smoke particles from wildfire

I am repainting and spray painting walls and faucets in my home and N95 mask are not cutting it. This mask is light weight, comfortable, allows me to breathe without spontaneously holding my breath, and has adjustable straps. It is hard to put the mask back in the case after installing the filters, the case could have been made a bit larger for this change in size. I read in one of the reviews that you can't wear glasses and the mask at the same time, while it wasn't the most comfortable, I was able to put the mask on with my glasses.Overall, wearing the mask allowed me to stay in a closed in space without windows and complete my spray painting DIY job. I think it is good for the price and is well made.

This fits nice on the face. Filters are easy to put on the mask.I do wish the case was bigger. Once you put on the filters its hard to close and you don't want to have to take off the filters everytime you put the mask away.

I had to use the instructions because this was my first time using.I’ll use it more and then let you know.

I am a resident of Southern California. Not only are wild fires a constant threat, also is the smoke. Near or far. I've been in the situation that I had to leave my home because of a fire closing in. And while cabin filters in modern cars do a great job (and did in my Mercedes) leaving the vehicle is not pleasant. There should be at least one proper respirator in any vehicle. The Draeger comes in a practical case which makes it perfect for storage. I keep my stuff in a dedicated bug-out bag. I still appreciate the case.One thing to know is that it needs to be fitted before use, so take it out and put it on. Also a good opportunity to practice a few times. Five stars from me for a potential life saver.

This item is well made. It is adjustable and fits well. I look forward to using it while doing wood work.

The media could not be loaded.  You can wear your glasses or you can wear this mask but you can't do both at the same time...If you wear glasses to see and want to use this face mask you are not going to like the outcome if you spend your Owen money to buy this. If you don't wear glasses the strap adjustments take a little getting used to and after you figure out how to adjust them they are way too long but they are the kind you most likely won't want to cut due to the way they are made so most likely you won't be impressed with the way you look. So in short if you don't wear glasses to see and you can take the time to learn to adjust the straps to properly fit you and you don't mind that the straps are extra long and don't care how these extra long straps look after donning the mask then you may really enjoy this mask because the mask it self is very comfortable overall. My nose was not bothered by the mask once properly adjusted (without my glasses of coarse) and I didn't mind that I was wearing a face mask although to be fair I haven't worn it for hours at a time just in short periods of time. I am not telling you to buy this mask. I am not telling you to not buy this mask. I am telling you there are several things to put into consideration before you buy.Good day & God bless...Randall M.
