Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Essential Face Mask Kit

Bought this colorful one for my wife. We love the masks.

My go to mask, plus it's a nice color.

Seals well to my face, and my glasses don't fog up. I feel protected.

use this all the time, with filter in supermarkets and stores; without filter for outdoor exercise.

I've really been loving these masks. I was searching for a good looking mask that held up well during running. This mask stays in place, offers good protection, and is easy to breath in - even while running (and it doesn't get sucked into your mouth). Highly recommend.

Simply the best....in heat, desert, near water. Very comfortable. Solid build and great materials.

I've tried 6 or 7 different masks over the year, OR's is by far the best. Design, materials, build, durability, and comfort. You can wear it all day long and no ear fatigue. I've worn in in 75-110 degree heat. It is the best!

You guys make the best masks out there. I give these as gifts too, and my friends all love them.

I use this mask on the daily with a filter and really like the coverage and fit. I'm a big dude with a big beard and initially thought it was too big, but that thought faded after a couple of wears. It's comfortable, built to last, and doesn't touch my mouth. I now have three and have ordered three more for the lady and kids in small. Girls, I would definitely read reviews to find out what size is best for you since the large is probably not in my opinion, but I've yet to see the small.

I have tried several different masks and this is by far the best one. I have a rather large head and every other mask would slide off my nose as I would talk. This mask has a wire nose piece that prevents that from happening. That feature is also great for people who wear glasses. My glasses and fog free! now that I have one of them I want too many more! If you have mask struggles just get this mask, it's awesome.

Just what I needed! I wish though that they'd have the same style on the inside to keep the filter in place like their Sport Mask has. I find the filter wets out and starts to touch my face after a long time of wearing it.

This mask is fairly comfortable really solid for aerobic activities. I've used it running and biking. It's highly breathable, and while I of course notice it there, it feels like it affects my performance when going hard less than other masks I've used. It is also easy to slide up and down my face when I'm on truly deserted trails with no one around. I also wear glasses, and between the high nose coverage and nose wire, I have had almost no problems with fogging when wearing this mask. It comes up high enough on my nose that I can put the bridge of my glasses on top of the mask to help prevent fogging, but I was also pleasantly surprised that it generally didn't fog even without putting my glasses on top. The only negatives for me have been the hard rubber pieces used to adjust fit. They sometimes press against my glasses in an uncomfortable way if I am not careful in adjusting everything after I put it on. Note that I prefer OR's original mask from earlier this year (seems to be discontinued) for day-to-day non-exercise wear. It is somewhat thicker and fuller coverage.

I wear this face mask for activities that are non-aerobic intense. It is comfortable, easy to put on/take off. I insert the filters when I know I will be closer to people like in restaurants. The filters are a bit of a challenge to insert into the mask. Doable, but took some practice.

I work directly with the public, and I have to wear a face mask all day [thanks COVID]. The OR mask is the best I've found for fit and comfort. Even with a sturdy beard, the mask did not creep up my face, and I can talk easily. The wired nose bridge helps keep it in place. After I shaved off the beard, the mask still fit great, thanks to the adjustability of the straps.

One of the best masks I've found. Snug fit, full coverage, and adjustable. Feels good with or without the filter.

Great product delivered quickly.

Soft, two layers, pockets for filter placement, and fits snugly around all the ins and outs of my face. The ear-loop tighteners are WONDERFUL.

3rd Mask I have purchased from OR! Comfortable fit, Breathable, Washable and has changeable extra filter. Looking forward to the days when I won't need to wear one, but until then I am doing my part.

I teach in a classroom and lead trips outside, this is one of my go-to masks for both. In fact, I am wearing it right now while I write this.

Since the beginning of all of this, I have rotated through several iterations of masks and this one tops them all. This mask combines OR's tried-and-true quality with functionality and safety in a time when we can all appreciate it. The fit/adjustability is superior, the comfort is next-level (I wear it all day) and the peace of mind that comes with the filter system is extremely appreciated. Stop looking for your next mask, you've found it with this one.

Great fit and coverage over the nose with the flexible nose piece and adjustable straps. I use them daily in my classroom when I teach.

Love love love these masks. I am a physical therapist and have to wear a mask all day. I love the coverage they provide. I also really appreciate the filters and the mask themselves.

Great fit and features

Excellent product, excellent delivery.

I've looked at 30+ face masks and have done hours of research to find the right purchase for an active lifestyle. These masks are designed very well and provide a snug, breathable, and comfortable fit. I have worn these to the gym, for walks, for runs, playing sports and more. The customer service is also top notch if there are any issues. Don't hesitate to buy this mask. The investment is worth it!
