From the manufacturer
Premium choice to help protect your workforce from certain airborne contaminants
Built comfortable, yet durable
The 3M Rugged Comfort 6500 Series Half Facepiece Reusable Respirator is designed to help promote comfort, durability, and stability with a firm, lightly textured silicone faceseal and strong body construction.
A versatile choice
The 3M 6500 Series is compatible with a wide variety of 3M respirator cartridges and filters to make a NIOSH-approved respirator and help protect your workforce from certain particulates, gases and vapors. When used with 3M respirator filters and cartridges, this respirator may help provide respiratory protection at concentrations up to ten times the OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL).
Be proactive
The 3M Respirator Selection Guide may be used to help you select the proper respirators, cartridges, and filters for your work environment. Change your employee's 3M particulate filters anytime they are dirty, damaged, or difficult to breathe through. For gas/vapor cartridges, use the 3M Service Life software to develop a cartridge changeout schedule.
The 3M Rugged Comfort 6500 Series Half Facepiece Reusable Respirator helps provide respiratory protection in harsh, dirty environments against airborne contaminants when used with approved 3M cartridges and filters. This facepiece is designed to help promote comfort, durability, and stability with a firm, lightly textured silicone faceseal and strong body construction. It is rugged enough to withstand long hours and extreme conditions. The resilient silicone faceseal offers an extended facepiece life, even keeping its shape in high-heat environments. The facepiece offers numerous other comfort features. Two innovative design features have been built in: a special valve cover that helps to direct exhaled breath and moisture downward and 3M’s proprietary Cool Flow Valve that helps to make breathing easier by reducing heat and moisture. Made to fit securely and comfortably on the head, the facepiece comes with an adjustable head harness assembly featuring long-lasting polyester/spandex straps that stretch and conform to the individual who wears the respirator.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I tried a medium from an in-person store but the valves vibrated obnoxiously - getting this in small was the solution! A good fit is key. Make sure to do the no-filter test with the filter spots covered to make sure you get a good seal.
If you can smell anything through the mask and you did a seal check first, then you need new filters or better filters for the job. If you can smell anything this mask is not working 100%.
This version is NOT the quick release. I would get the quickly release next time because I often work around other people and no one can hear you until the seal is broken - which on this mask is pulling it slightly away from your face with one hand. The value of this mask though is that the quick release gets tighter when sealed, so it is a lot more work to get the straps right; this mask without quick release is a lot easier to get on comfortably.

I possess the more expensive version for my job where I deal with substances and chemicals that are toxic to breathe in and it does not fail to protect.
This is half the price and is no different. Not only that but it is a couple ounces lighter and still makes a great seal on my face. It is easy to disassemble for deep and easy cleaning. Unlike its rubber alternative, it will not break down due to skin oil over time or get stiff and uncomfortable.
Highly recommend to anyone who is working in an environment where your air quality is in question. It can fit any 3M filters universally. Whether for chemical or particle filtration, there is no better protective mask for such a great price.
