Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Essential Face Mask Kit

I use this mask when I go on grocery runs at stores where people are still browsing as though there wasn't a pandemic raging throughout the world. The filters give me a little more confidence when navigating crowded aisles and cashier areas.

It's simple... best face masks out there. Great quality, great coverage, comfortable, and keeps me safe.

Awesome quality, comfortable and stylish.

If we must mask up, and we do, this is the mask for you. Stylish, comfortable, easily molded over nose to reduce fogging if you wear glasses/sunglasses. Adjustable ear straps for comfort. Don't forget to order additional liners.

Adjustable straps means it doesn't pull on your ear, shape of maks means it's comfortable to breathe in. Definitely one of the better masks out there.

I have tried many different masks and these are by far the best.

I purchased this mask after a recommendation from a fellow downhill skier and it has not disappointed so far. I have worn this mask with a filter a few times now (unfortunately not on a ski hill since they are closed where I live due to COVID-19). It is very comfortable with good adjustments for the nose and the ear loops. The filter is easy to put into the mask. The mask is good quality fabric and is easy to breath through even with the filter.

Very comfortable and I like that you can reuse mask

I purchased a number of OR face masks when they became available, and I keep them at home and in the truck so I can grab one whenever I'm out in public during COVID. They've been phenomenal so far. I even went for a fairly taxing run while wearing one, and it didn't get too clammy despite my never taking it off. A pleasant surprise has been how fantastic they are on the mountain, especially while waiting in lift lines; they keep my face warm but don't cause me to overheat or fog up my goggles, which was an issue with wearing my balaclava. The only issue has been that the filters can be difficult to place, and they sometimes shift out of place. Aside from that, certainly my go-to mask during the COVID era. I just ordered the Protective Essential Bandanna kit, which I hope will be even more useful while running and biking.

Quick and easy to pull up when you get to the lift and comfortable to wear.

this is the best face mask I own. I have several others and wear this the most

Very comfortable! I like that the filters can be replaced and the straps adjusted. The filters tend to slide around when not on your face, so need to readjust before putting on but not a big deal. The adjustable nose piece and filters make me feel much more comfortable being in public. If they came out with more colors/different design, I'd purchase more just to have the variety.

This mask doesn't ride up your face or move down your chin when speaking.

Excellent secure mask with replaceable filters.

Excellent mask with replaceable filters. Good secure fit.

I learned about this mask while reading about the work of Operation Research, back in March, making masks and ventilators in their downtown Seattle factory space. The mask is FDA approved N95 with comfortable fit, adjustable around the ears with replaceable filters. This is one of the best masks out there.

Fits well and is comfortable.

Masks fit really well and cover a good amount of the face while also being comfortable. Easy to breathe. Can talk without the mask moving around. Highly recommend. Please make larger filter packs!

easy to adjust, comfortable with and without filters. large range for fitting.

I've used my masks regularly. While getting a new filter in is a bit tricky, the fit and quality of the masks more than makes up for this.

Good fit, easy to adjust and stays put over nose while talking.

So far I have primarily used it for downhill skiing. Very comfortable, love the way the elastic hooks at the back of your head plus can be snugged up behind your ears. Stays in place well, not restricting. Added protection with inserted filter.

I am easily able to talk (and chew gum) and this mask stays right where I put it. I love the replaceable filters also. The filters tend do move around a little, but it is an issue that is easy to address. I would recommend this product.
