Parcil Distribution ST-100X Full Face Respirator - Smoke Black

This is a great piece of kit. Fits well, easy to put on and adjust the straps for the correct fit. The 40mm connector makes it easy to install and remove the filter quickly when needed and for storing in the military surplus gas mask bag I purchased. Parcil also sells protective film for the plastic face shield part that will keep it from getting nicks and scratches. I will use this for string trimming, mulching leaves, cutting bushes with lots of dust, and in the dump waste facility transfer station where all sorts of nasty dust permeates the air. While unloading a utility trailer by hand in the dump transfer station for at least 1/2 hour I was able to breathe easily with no face shield fogging, and no sensation of lack of air. I was using a reusable P3 particulate filter rather than the expensive CBRN or charcoal activated one that removes smells so there was a faint whiff of the smell of trash. The first time I used the respirator, the strap underneath each ear came loose and allowed dust and smell in. Once I pulled them tight, all good again. I am not sure if there is a particular order in which the straps are pulled tight once the respirator is put on to avoid this or not, and worth noting so full protection is always available in whatever situation you find yourself. It feels great to know I am protected and weird to put this mask on and look like a character in an apocalyptic horror movie. Love not having to breathe dust and crap while doing yard work and cough for 3 days afterward.

They reached out and tried to solve the problem

I would buy again.
