Outdoor ResearchEssential Face Mask Kit

OK, lightweight:yes, color orange, nose piece nice, adjustable ear strings a plus.I bought this mask when my state re-issued an indoor mask mandate, vaccinated or not.I wanted light weight, breathable, non glasses fogging. Well, it is light weight and orange. For its described use, outdoor cardio, its works well. The nose wire is malleable and form fitting around the nose. The ear strings are strong and each one is adjustable to accommodate different face shapes and sizes. Each string's length can be adjusted for length above and below the ear. So if you have a long jaw the part of the string below the ear can be made longer than the part of the string above the ear. For added protection, you can also insert a disposable filter inside the mask using the little pockets on each side of the mask.Now for breath ability, it is somewhat challenging if you don't want your breath blowing out the sides, and almost impossible if you add the disposable filter. I read one reviewer that said, (and I paraphrase) once the sweat builds up, the mask seals to the face. I used the mask for an hour of cardio with sweat dripping off me, my breath still blew out the sides. For outdoor cardio, (its intended use) I think it is fine. For indoor use such as, in a gym doing cardio, I recently purchased a Mission mask, which I believe works better for indoor cardio. Once you build up a sweat, the Mission mask seals around the face and is easier to breathe through and doesn't fog your glasses (that old men like me need to wear in order to be able to see things, such as the TV, clearly.Both mask will cause your glasses to fog, but once you build up a sweat, I would choose the Mission mask for indoor use and this mask for outdoor use.That's all I got...

Cannot recommend enough. Before the N95 wave, this was my go to mask. Wore it everywhere, comfortable, didn't fog glasses. Highly highly recommend!

Handy for other uses besides Covid, keeps dust out, is washable and lasts a long time. Great for glasses, has a long lasting wire that keeps it's shape, comes with extra liners

We have several of these masks and prefer them over other types we've tried. We've machine washed and replaced the filters a few times and they held up well. They can be adjusted for comfort and have a nose bridge wire to help reduce glasses fogging.The filter inserts can move or slip when taking on and off, so that is the only real detractor. It is necessary to place filters correctly but the mask would be improved if the filter was better secured in position.

this is the best mask i've tried. even in high dust situations, I can still breath comfortably.

This is the only mask I feel comfortable wearing during exercise (specifically cardio dance classes). Bought a second one because I liked the first one so much.

I hate that masks are such a necessity these days, but the OR mask is the best that I've ran across. I wear glasses so its tough to get ones that won't fog up my glasses, and the nose wire on these helps a lot. Its also very comfortable with adjustable ear loops, and I took one to Mexico and wore it everyday on planes and buses for four months; even though I had brought other masks they were much more uncomfortable, especially after a while on longer rides unlike the OR mask which was more tolerable. I washed the same mask every night- and by morning it was always dry even with high humidity in the rooms I stayed in- and it held up great despite also being repeatedly crushed in my pocket. Though I like this mask has the additional pocket for filters, I just don't use them (even though maybe I should)- however I've yet to get sick irregardless even after being squeezed into a Mexico City subway car like a sardine, flying on an airplane for eight hours and riding on a very full Amtrak train with this mask on. I'm not saying you should trust your life to these masks so you can travel around the world in the middle of a pandemic that is continuing to get worse, but if I had only one mask I took with me and wore everyday- this would be it.

I really wanted this mask after seeing someone else wearing one. For the most part I'm happy with the fit and style. What I don't like is how the filter just barely is held in on the outside edges... as a result it tends to shift around or come out entirely. It seems they could've come up with a better way to hold the replaceable filter in. I think I might try stitching a loop of thread from nose to chin to try and retain the filter some.

初めてこのマスクを使ったのは、友人からのプレゼントでした。通気性も良く、しっかり鼻と口をカバーしてくれます。今回は、洗い替え用に自分でもう１枚購入しました。不織布のフィルターを内側にセットできるようになっていますが、このフィルターが少々値段が高め！何回かは洗って再利用できます。最初はフィルターをセットして使っていましたが、ちょっと内側のポケットにきれいにはめるのが面倒です。マスクの生地自体にウイルスカットのコーティングがされているので、今はフィルター無しで使用しています。ただ、最初付けたとき特有の匂いがあります。コーティングの匂いでしょうか？洗う内に匂いも弱くなってきましたが、人によってはこの匂いはダメかも。私は直ぐに慣れましたが・・・。ちょっと高めですが、いいマスクだと思います。

期待していた通りのデカサです。顔面が大きい人にはお勧めですし、話してもズレてきませんのでハナマスクになりません。大きさのイメージは一般に出回っている不織布の大人用大で話すと突っ張ったりズレてしまう人にはピッタリだと思います。

まあまあです。生地厚みもまあまああります。キャンプ中のおしゃれ用マスク。散歩中のおしゃれアイテム。人混みではちゃんとした白いマスクがいい。そんなかんじ

リピ買いです。毎日使ってます。
