Excellent Virus Protection Mask with the correct filter.
Excellent filter for the price. Virus protection. Yes. You will need to buy filters to attach such as 3M Organic Vapor Acid Gas Cartridge Filter 60923. Now can the virus potentially land on the mask somewhere and you take it home? Sure, but a virus can land anywhere on you and every single thing you are carrying, etc, etc. You can always wipe the outside of the mask with alcohol wipes. It’s called cleaning. Just like you will need to shower and wash your clothes too. In fact this style mask is much better than the small 3m n95 masks. These can easily be used for a good few months with traveling outside breathing normal air. If worn just for a few hours a day when leaving your house this filter can go a great distance with normal air before needing changed. You could probably push it to around the 6 month range with normal air. It also fits better which is a huge issue. A bad fitting mask is like wearing no mask at all. These are a bit overkill but that simply means it will do an excellent job. All masks are inconvenient and not fun to wear, however if there is an out of control dangerous virus then this option is an excellent choice for protection. Hopefully a dangerous virus does not turn to reality but if it does then I will be wearing this over the small, bad fitting 3m n95 masks. Enjoy. Buy while the price is fair.

Good, inexpensive safety and comfort
Had to buy online because big box store only carried the large sizes, suitable for men. The small size fit me well. The mask was generally more comfortable than I thought, even working in a heat wave. Made the bridge of my nose ever so slightly bruised feeling, but I had it on tight for many hours a day for several days and have an extra prominent bridge. Used it while cutting plaster and it was great not to have a noseful of potentiallyvery hazardous dust. Easy to take on and off and the round filters lock in easily, so you feel confident. Fits under a face shield and even in a bee suit. Very good when used as intended. Remember that if it doesn't fit snugly, a mask won't work!

Very comfortable to wear
Perfect! Glad I purchased the small version. Some reviewers indicated that the medium size felt a tad bit too big. I'm glad I got the small. Fits perfect. Very comfortable band lightweight. Way better fit than those N95s. Easy to put in and take off after you adjust the straps permanently. Breathing bus good too. I purchased bsome 2097 filters for mine. I only plan to use this for an emergency situation, for airborne contaminates.

Fits well. Will work great for wildfire smoke.
I'd been using my husband's older model medium mask for projects. With the last two weeks of heavy wildfire smoke I decided to get my own and instead of the all-purpose filters I switched to the lighter 2071 pancake filters. I haven't had the chance yet to use in smoky conditions but I'll update this when I do. I'm a 5'10" female, 170lbs, with an average sized face/head and a small fits me fine. Though the straps could be a little longer. A little adjusting and I was able to get it to work. It's nice that the exhale valve points downward so it would do for a Covid mask as well. It works just fine with my prescription safety glasses and my regular glasses. This does not come with filter media, you'll have to order that separately.

should have bought this years ago!
Love this respirator! I bought this particular one because the exhale portion pointed downward instead of outward, which would help keep my safety glasses from fogging up. Filters are easy to attach and detach. Adjustments are easy to maneuver. I wish I would have bought this years ago. I can definitely tell a difference and no longer leave the shop with sawdust piled up in my nose. As for sizing, I am a woman in my 30's with a huge head. I originally bought a size medium, but ended up exchanging it for a size small. The medium was overall too big for my face and the top of the respirator would rub into my eyes. The small fit me perfectly and after finding the right adjustment with the straps to fit my face I forget sometimes I am even wearing it.

My favorite half respirator
My daughter will be taking wood shop this semester. I stressed to her that a lot of people now days are losing skills and common sense when it comes time to build or fix things with their hands. I prefer she not be one of them. Rather than her using the paper element type, I went a step further and purchased my favorite half mask respirator for her in a small size. It fits her perfectly and she says it is very comfortable. Now, I have a little helper when I am renovating our home or need a little help when working in my wood shop. After using other models and brands, in my opinion, the 3M series 7500 is among the best half mask respirator out there. The feature I like about this series is that you can easily replace the elastic strap when it gets stretched out. The straps are always the thing that needs replacing. Unlike the other respirators that loop and stitch the elastic to the plastic head gear, this 7500 series uses a friction connector that pinches the elastic to secure it. So when your elastic is stretched out, take a trip down to the sewing center and purchase a roll of elastic bands to replace it. I purchased 2 of them for my personal use when wood working or spraying finishes.

It's a must have for me
This is my 2nd purchase in about 10 years and I won't be without this mask because I have multiple chemical sensitivities. The mask allows me to paint, clean, saw, etc. I use it a lot in my workshop along with the P95 dust filter attachment. I had taken my old mask apart for cleaning and had trouble snapping it back together which is why I bought a new one. Of course when the new one arrived, I was able to re-assemble the old one... Always the case. Anyway, it's great to have a stand by. It's truly a life saver for me and allows me to enjoy my hobbies and get some house cleaning done as well.

Exsaust flows downwards. Not breathing own air back is great.
The perfect mask to have in these times. It's washable and meets the requirements to help keep me safe. I would definitely recommend these mask, I brought a pair for my boyfriend as well, people ask where we brought them from, lots of comments about it's looks and comfortability. I also brought 2 pairs of Google's in similar color with similar built. Just a perfect match.

Wow what a difference!
I'm a 5'6" woman with a perhaps smaller than average head, and the small size fits me well. It's surprisingly comfortable and I don't mind having it on. I have used it with the P100 filters and boy does it make a difference in air quality! I used it while sanding some shelves because prior to using the mask, the dust was really bothering my lungs. Then I used it while finishing the shelves with polyurethane. The stuff STINKS, but with the mask on I couldn't smell it at all! Wonderful. I'm pretty sensitive to smells and especially toxic odors, so I see myself reaching for this often when doing projects around the house.

Size Does Matter!
Yes! It fits! I’m a pretty normal size woman. I read reviews here and because of them I bought a small and it’s perfect. When you have one that’s too big ( I had a large) it does not seal, it gets in the way of safety glasses and you fog up. Apparently 70 % of people need a medium. I read that as 70 % of men need a medium so I took a gamble that small would work and I’m so happy I went for small. It’s worth the extra for the comfort of this model. I very much like the vent that is down to reduce fogging.
