There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
There is a lot of emotion about these exhalation-valve masks since the pandemic, but if you actually examine this thing, the exhalation valve is very heavily baffled. I'm not going to claim it's *impossible* to exhale physical droplets while wearing one of these, but it seems extremely unlikely just from the construction and from my own informal testing. (Try to blow out a candle through that valve from a distance of two feet, you'll see what I mean.)
Anyway, I have been an EMS responder for a long time, and this to me is an excellent compromise between wearability (what the review ratings call "comfort") and protection. As a small side benefit, the exhalation valve transmits sound better than the mask fabric, so you can make yourself understood that much better.
Anyway, they're cheap and highly protective against dust and airborne moisture, and I truly don't think they allow you to exhale any of the latter. If you really have to wear a mask for an extended period of time, you should at least consider these.
Pros:
- Filters the air I breathe very well. In the past, I'd cough a lot when mowing over leaves with my lawn mower, and it doesn't put up nearly the amount of leaf dust as my new leaf blower/mulcher. I'm happy to say now that after repeated times mulching leaves with the leaf blower/mulcher while wearing this mask, I didn't cough once.
- Each mask is reuseable. I'm still using the first mask from the pack. While your mileage may vary depending on what you use it for, I've been using this all fall and it's still in good shape. I'll probably throw it out once I'm done with leaves for the year, and use another mask from the 10-pack next year.
- The exhalation valve works and helps keep you from fogging up your work glasses while wearing the mask.
Con:
- The elastic straps cannot be adjusted, and are very tight. While this ostensibly helps keep the mask snug to your face, I found that is too tight for easy comfort, and I wish there were a way to relax the strap's tightness.
Overall, its a good value and a good mask, but for me, its not as comfortable of a fit as I'd like.
The construction of this mask is a bit different from others of this general type. Most masks of this type have little depth. This mask is thick and has two part construction in depth. The surface of the mask is rigid on the outside. The interior of the mask is softly compliant. The springy exterior of the mask keeps the straps from pulling out, keeps the valve where it needs to be and holds the mask shape. The interior of the mask is soft, follows the curves of your face and wicks away sweat. The compliant, soft surface of the interior is perhaps the most important feature of the design both in terms of the fit and in preventing from dust from working its way around the side of the mask into your nose and mouth.
The breather valve has been added to reduce the effort in breathing through the mask. This is not the only function the valve has. The valve is positioned to guide your breath away from your glasses. This means that on cooler mornings that my glasses do not fog up. If you do work which routinely requires masks you will recognize this problem. Heat rises. With a mask without a valve my warm breath rises from the mask and fogs my glasses. The valve exhaust is positioned to prevent that. On all sorts of levels this mask has been carefully thought through both in design and construction.
By the way I have no relationship with 3M or any of its distributors. No one paid me to write this product evaluation. I appreciate the reviews written by others which guide me to better tools and more durable products, and help me separate good tools from cleverly packaged junk. I am returning the favor.
Excellent price and quality.
Highly recommend for lawn mowing, weed trimming or any dusty environment.
