BASE CAMPBASE CAMP Silver and Black Upgrade M Plus Dust Mask, Reusable Respirator Face Mask with 6 Activated Carbon Filters, Safety Work Masks for Woodworking, Construction, Yard Lawn Paint, Dust

Working on trying to get it to fit my face, works well.

Loved it

These base camp dust masks work really well and are very comfortable for long term wearing. They come with a generous amount of disposable pre filters that are made out of a high quality material that can actually be removed, washed, dried and used over again. Just be careful removing and replacing the one way valves that hold the prefilters in place as not to terror the masks material. ( If the manufacturer would heat seal the area around the holes this wouldn't be a problem.) The only other thing is that the velcro strap that goes around your neck could stand to be just a little bit longer. Would I buy this product again? Absolutely and without hesitation! I made the same comments as above on a YouTube off road video and the company that manufactures, these masks responded back about my concerns within minutes in the comment section. I believe they want their customers to be happy.

Perfect

Keeps dust intake at a minimum, but it slides down on my nose and impedes breathing through nose. Kept having to pull it back up and pinching the metal piece at the bridge of nose. Somewhat irritating my face. Used while mowing on hot muggy day.

I just used it today due to the smoky air in Calif during wildfires... ugh.And I did not smell the smoke through the mask. I took the mask off and smelled smoke. Put the mask back on, no smoke smell! Yay!I had to shorten the ear straps to make it fit my head. I think these are made for man heads. Not women heads, which is kind of messed up. How about a woman head mask! We need to protect our lungs too!!! And how about making them in colors other than black?PROS:lightcomfortable (after I fixed the ear strapsstays in placecan breathe easily through it.it forms a seal once I press the nose piece in place but it doesn't make a mark or feel uncomfyno fogging up the glasses if I press the nose piece in placeCONS:my head isn't a big ol' man head, so the strap around the back of my neck barely makes it to close, it's too long for women heads. but it does close and it does hold...it does get hot and my face does sweat under it, but that's okay, not a big deal. I am not suffocating.when I press the nose piece to form the seal, it does press on the sides of my nose a little and I do need to keep tugging at it from time to time to regain comfort. it's not a huge deal though.__Overall... I like this mask. I think if it was more form-fitting for a FEMALE that would be awesome.Recommended? Yes.I bought this because I hated wearing the N95 mask for fire smoke. This one can be washed unlike the N95. And it's got 2 respirators and not just one. Nice!******** UPDATE *********Well, I've started using this mask because of the smokiness due to fires. And I can honestly say, this mask is great. I have since adapted it to my female head by adding a strap to the ear loops which are rather silly...they don't stay on because they have no elastic (thus the man vs woman head issue). So... I added this little strap and it goes up over my head and holds the mask in place perfectly. Then I velcro the back (which is still too big for my head, but it does close, just has a "tail").It forms a seal and I can not smell any smoke at all. Even when it's quite hazy outdoors, I can't smell any smoke and after a while, I can breathe easily. My face sweats like crazy but it does that with an N95 too, so whatever.I'm very happy that this mask keeps my lungs clean! Love the dual breathing valves. They are more comfortable than an N95 mask. And I can wash this mask, and can't wash an N95, so that's awesome!HIGHLY RECOMMENDEDAnd if you need to add a strap to the ear loops go ahead. Because it works great then.

Comfortable

The mask is well-designed for fit and filtration. It doesn’t smell badly, as some reviews suggested. With two masks and a few extra filters, the value for what you get is acceptable. It helped protect my lungs when there was a fire a few towns over so it seems to have done what it’s supposed to do. The description said the strap that goes around the back of the head is a hook & eye typa thing. It is not - it is Velcro. With long hair, this can be an issue. Buyer beware, I suppose. The material of the mask seems durable and better-sourced than some other masks I’ve had. Feels like it’ll last a while. Still irritated about that Velcro situation, truth be told. I even messaged the seller about it. No response and false advertising = took away a star.
