Exactly replica of the 3m equivalent.
I've been a painter for nearly 30 years now. I've paid nearly 180$ for an identical mask from 3m! This mask is not only made exactly the same as the 3m model, but it also comes with charcoal filters and cotton pre filters. That's nearly 30$ all by itself from local automotive paint suppliers! For the price of just the filters, I can replace the entire mask! This mask is extremely comfortable. It has an infinite adjustment ability due to the design of the straps. I highly recommend this mask.

Not recommended For Use With Glasses -- Filter Broke Off From Plastic Face Shield
I primarily bought this product to protect myself from the solvent acetone, which I'm using to remove vandalism paint from my van.First thing I noticed when I first put it on, was that the clear shield wasn't real clear. That was somewhat disappointing, as I planned to do some pretty close inspection of paint surfaces while using it. Upon doing some up close work however, I noticed that it really didn't seem to be an issue, though it was much less clear than plexiglass.Second thing I noticed was that the mask barely fit over my eyeglasses. However, I'm tall, and have an above average sized head. So I'm guessing that wouldn't be a problem for most people.Third thing I noticed was that the breathing wasn't quite as easy as I'd hoped for after reading reviews on other masks where breathing was said to be super easy. However, as I got busy with my project, I forgot all about how easy or difficult it was to breathe, and it really wasn't a problem.Fourth thing I noticed was after a few minutes of working, I all of a sudden got a big whiff of acetone that somehow got into my mask. At first I thought it came through the filters, but I also wondered whether I had the mask on correctly and was sealed properly. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I realized there were gaps around the stems/temples of my glasses. I felt quite certain that was why I all of a sudden got such a big whiff.Wanting to at least give my hypothesis a trial run, I decided to try it again the next day, doing my best to make sure everything was as sealed as tightly as possible. I noticed some fainter whiffs of acetone a few times, and that concerned me. I had done some work with the acetone outside before getting the mask, and whenever I got a whiff, it would quickly dissipate with the outside air. However, getting a whiff inside the mask didn't dissipate, and in some ways felt even more problematic. After about 10 minutes, I finally realized that it was just too toxic, and took the mask off. In the process, I somehow bumped my hand up against the filter on the left side, and it promptly broke. -- So, the plastic shield that I wasn't sure about in the beginning because of a somewhat lack of clarity, also seemed to be of substandard strength so that even a rather slight bump broke it. -- For clarification, the spot where the filters attach to the mask is on the plastic shield itself.By the time I had used it totally for about 15-20 minutes, I actually thought it was relatively comfortable, and assumed I would be keeping it. But by the time the acetone fumes were getting to me, I realized it just wasn't going to work. Having the filter break off from the plastic sealed the deal. I will say however, that sometimes things like the filter breaking off "just happen", and is more of a fluke than anything else. But given the mask wasn't too clear to begin with makes me think it was of substandard quality.Given this mask would likely have worked for me if I didn't need to wear glasses, and taking into account the breaking of the filter from the mask could have been a fluke, I don't feel it would be fair to give it only a 1 star rating, especially since the price was quite reasonable. But I can't give it more than a 2 star rating. -- I think they should upgrade the plastic portion of the mask however, which has better clarity, better strength, and a redesign around the eyes so that even if a person was wearing glasses, the mask would still seal quite well.I would highly recommend not trying to use this while wearing glasses, especially if you're planning on using it to protect yourself from chemicals, fumes, solvents, etc.

Instructions may have helped
Product comes with no instructions, and the "fully sealed mask" does not fully seal. This may be an easy fix; however with no instructions there's no way to know. I needed a mask to work with Epoxy, but this product was a waste of money

Great coustmer service
UPDATE, after this review in october the company contacted me shortly after and was more than willing to resolve the issue I had. Very good coustmer service. New mask is good no issues at all. Great coustmer service! Just received this face mask. Ordered it for when I polish aluminum wheels. Dont want to be breathing in all the dust and polish/aluminum. I put the filters on the mask and went to store it in the bag it comes with. Drones not fit. Went to take off the filter so it will fit in the bag and I heard a crack. The plastic tab to hold the filter in had cracked, now the filter does not make a air tight seal. Not happy with this purchase at all

Works as well as a SCBA mask with out the tank.
I've bought two of these. Get the face aheilds if you can. Being a retired Fireman. Now a part time handyman. The value of protection of your lungs can never be appreciated until your an old fart like me. Get the disposable prefilters and can them often.

Easily Cracks! Buyers Beware!
Just moments after I received and unboxed my mask, I remembered a review in which someone had effectively cracked their mask when taking off the filters. Keeping this in mind, I decided to put on the filters and try on the fit. After I was done with the mask, I took it off, and very carefully removed the filters, starting with the left, and I heard a cracking noise. As I lifted the filter out the way, I noticed two cracks in my mask, one below and above the plastic tab to hold the filter in. Fortunately, the cracks only existed on the outside of the mask, so the seal was still good. I could imagine, if I installed the filters again, I could scratch my fingers against the cracks. Buyers beware! Treat this mask as if it's your baby!Pros:-It fits and seals well if you make it tight enough-It's fairly light and comfortableCons:-The output rattles if you move around ever so slightly-The mask is susceptible to cracking when removing the filters
