MSA808071 Comfo Classic Soft Feel Silicone Half-Mask Facepi

I live in East Australia, and at the time of the bushfires, I had recently been released from hospital following a case of pneumonia so severe that after choking my left lung near-completely, it traveled to certain other organs, and gave me a minor heart attack. I'm in my early 30s and fit and otherwise healthy, so that blindsided me, but my doctor warned me upon my release that my heart would be weaker in the future permanently, and that it will take some time for the scarring in my lung to heal up. In the meantime, she warned, I needed to avoid inhaling anything noxious or toxic, even in small amounts (e.g while working with paint), or I could be in a lot of trouble very quickly.Then the bushfires hit, and a few weeks in my City became so flooded with smoke that by early January, it would seep into our house even through closed doors and windows, and make our hallway visibly cloudy, and our eyes sting enough in certain rooms that we had to abandon them, and it effected visibility so greatly that once the sun went down, we would look out the window and discover that we couldn't see anything beyond our letterbox.PU masks were sold out everywhere, including online, and obviously the situation was pretty dire, so I ordered this respirator, and a pack of charcoal cartridges to go with it. I figured, it wasn't exactly pretty, but staying safe was more important, so function over form it was.The combination did exactly what it was meant to, and kept me - and my freshly-vulnerable lower respiratory tract - healthy and safe. I won't pretend that I didn't get a few funny looks while out in public, especially on the days where the smoke pollution was a little less dire, but I had my priorities straight and I stuck to my guns. As a result, I didn't wind up back in hospital.If this was good enough to keep me safe while out and about on the days when my City apparently had the worst air quality of anywhere on Earth, it'll be good enough to protect you from fumes and micro-particles while you're working.10/10, highly recommend.

been using this for woodworking and other dusty jobs. I also use this for my industrial job when it gets dusty. It's important to get the right fit for these, so research how to get the right fit before you purchase, a bad fit will make this great product ineffective.

I highly recommend this mask. During COVID 19 I wear one every day with P100 filters. I do in home appliance repair so I meet a lot of people in a week and this mask is tough and easily cleaned. I trust this mask. I don’t get abrasions or spots on my skin after wearing it for hours each day. The quality is fantastic compared to other masks I’ve used.

I got this for COVID-19 protection. Got the GME cartridge filters and the cotton dust particulate filters and adapters. According to CDC website I will be safe with the filter cartridges, cotton particulate filters and adapters. Very well made product.

I haven't analyzed it, but the new, out-of-the-box mask has an awful smell, probably plastic elasticizers that make it so soft! I'm letting them sit out of the bag to see if the odor dissipates.
