3M Head Harness 6897, Designed for 3M Full Facepiece Respirator 6000 Series

Great price - needed for our spray foam company. Great price & find.

Much cheaper and easier ordering it here than going to a store and getting ripped off

I bought my 3M 6900 (large) full face respirator in 2014. All the original parts still work perfectly. I simply bought this replacement harness because the COVID-19 panic has made finding PPE or anything related to it harder to find. So I thought I’d better grab a replacement before I need it while I could still find it.Haven’t needed it yet but it looks like the original so I expect 3M quality.The seller, mBerzon, likes to burn Naga Champa incense and the smell permeates everything. So the harness arrived smelling like Naga Champa and since I store all the filters and things related to the respirator together, now the whole set smells like Naga Champa. Although I like the smell—your gas mask is not supposed to smell like anything at all! How can you tell if you your seal is broken and you’re inhaling something bad if the smell is masked by Naga Champa?! If you happen to be sensitive to smells or you don’t like Naga Champa, you’ll want to avoid this seller. Otherwise, the product seems legit.

Got one cause these tear from time to time. Got my mask back to working. Thanks

well packed

This is probably more an issue with the 3m mask in general, but these seem to always break with mild / frequent use. They are also very annoying to install, which is also just a problem with the mask design.I've been renovating my house for a year now using the 3m mask and these just always end up breaking, I wish they were a stronger material on where the stairs are for tightening the harness.

I purchased this replacement head harness because my original one ripped apart. I did get a little rough with the harness to cause the rip, but I didn't expect it to be so "flimsy".The reason why I decided to replace the head harness instead of buying a different model mask altogether, is because this particular model is very comfortable to wear. This time I'll be a little gentler with it. I hope I can make this replacement last longer because the 3M 6000 series mask it fits is a very good one.

They last about a year of consistent use. So it’s always good to keep a spare around for emergency’s while working. They wear around the metal buckle so it’s the bottoms ones that tend to snap when you go to put the mask on. If you’re like me, once you have the tops adjusted, you only need to release the bottoms ones to remove and put on the mask. I do suggest the shields!! They are fairly cheap and I always replace them after each job, then dismantle the mask and clean thoroughly. The shields keep the shield in mint condition.
