3M Reusable Half Face Mask Respirator 7502

Hubby is using at this respirator at work where he's exposed to poor air quality (vaporized oils). Although no respirator is really great to wear for any length of time, this 3M mask makes it tolerable. This is a lightweight, comfortable, breathable respirator with a good seal and high quality filters that work well . Wash it out and air it out for a few days first to let the plastic offgass. But there is little offgassing odor to worry about. It would be even better if it was made of 100% silicone (which doesn't offgass at all) but maybe in the future. This is a very thoughtfully made product! Thanks 3M!

Purchased for use with silicone investment....works great. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I'm an amateur woodworker and was routing some cocobolo lumber and wearing a dust mask, goggles and hearing protectors plus running a Shop Vac room air filter. I was still breathing in lots of dust and the goggles kept fogging. Two days later I was still spitting out black saw dust. I bought this along with the 2091 cartridges and then did some more work. Tremendous difference- I didn't breathe in saw dust and my goggles did not fog. The respirator is is very light weight, especially compared respirators of 30 years ago, and was comfortable for the couple of hours that I wore it. Looking forward to using it more frequently.
