Reusable Respirator Half Facepiece 7501, NIOSH, Small

Excellent quality respirator. The real deal. Fits great. And shipping was excellent

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!

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.

I use this mask for home remodeling projects. I have a smaller face, so getting a good fit can be a challenge. This mask is sized (bought a small), and is framed in silicone. The silicone makes for a more comfortable, tight fit and it worked! The down side is that if you are working in a humid place, get ready to sweat. Probably most hilarious is that while it slide around on my sweating face, it didn't lose the seal, so I guess that's a plus! Highly adjustable so you can minimize nose bridge pain.

Easy to test seal for positive and negative pressure, but there are a few pitfalls. First, the straps are not comfortable and slide around. There are two straps that connect at the nape of the neck, and a hoop like piece connecting the top two straps. Depending on your hairstyle this can be problematic. Regardless, the bottom straps rubbing on your neck is uncomfortable/chafing. I wish I could connect the bottom two straps to the top hoop somehow. As it is, I sometimes lose seal when turning or nodding, no matter how tight or loose it is. Knowing this, I tested it out at work (low risk setting). I tried it first with the plastic encased P100s and a couple weeks later with the non-encased lightweight P100s. Both times, I developed a pressure injury on the bridge of my nose from the mask. I tried putting cotton in the lip of the silicone internally, I tried various tapes and dressings, but couldn’t find a way to protect my nose while maintaining the seal. I couldn’t make it through a 12-hour shift with it on either time. The most I lasted was 6 hours. Finally, it’s important to note that your skin will sweat under the silicone and some level of condensation will naturally form on the inside of the mask from your breath. This means that over the course of a couple hours the mask will become slippery against your skin, creating more pressure on your nose and making it more likely to slip and lose seal. FYI - there is no filter in/over the exhalation valve. tl;dr It works well for short uses (<6hrs) but PLEASE test run a few times first to figure out best fit.

We're doing a lot of remodeling on the house we just bought and wanted to be safe, so we broke down and bought respirators before ripping out the old drop ceiling tiles in the basement (which was good because we found a half-petrified mouse). These are waaaaaaaaaay more protective than N-95's because they provide a much better seal around the nose. It's also super easy to breathe in them because there are separate points for air intake and output. I have a pretty average sized face for a lady and I got a size small, which fits me perfectly. The small is too small for my husband, so he got a medium and that's been working great for him. This particular seller does not include any filters, but they are easy to find separately and you can decide which filters or cartridges are right for your needs.

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.

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.
