Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Essential Face Mask Kit

Fits great, breathable without pushing against my mouth and nose but still has a good seal around the edges.

Maybe a little dubious without the additional filter, but this mask is great! With a wide nose piece this is one of the only that doesn't fog up my glasses when I wear it. Even worn it onboard helicopters as crew without fogging (although the fire resistance is doubtful). It's cleanly designed, fits into professional settings, easy to don and to doff, and gives a sense of protection. Without the filter, you can see light through the two layers of fabric, but it does pass the candle test. The filters are hard to get, and it'd be nice if you could buy them reliably in bulk. I've started rationing the filters to be used indoors only. Outside, the mask without filter seems good enough, but it'd be nice to see a mask that does not require a filter to be considered "effective". A third layer should do. I've recommended this to friends and family,

This is the most breathable mask I've tried. The ear loops are very comfortable (and adjustable), and the nose wire works very well. Washing is easy and it dries very quickly. I have not tried the extra filters. I know a number of people who wear masks all day long for their jobs, and they recommended this to me.

As someone who has to wear glasses, this is the best face mask I have. It's got a much more adjustable nose wire, allowing me to create a much better seal to prevent my glasses from fogging up compared to traditional medical masks and cloth masks. The adjustable ear loops are also a great touch, allowing me to tighten or loosen the mask. I'm really glad I bought 2, and might consider buying more. Just make sure you buy enough filters.

Excellent materials. Great comfortable fit. Easy breathing. Convenient internal liner replacement.

This mask makes me feel very protected. It fits me well, covering most of my face.

This thing is amazing! It fits great, looks good (I get lots of comments), and the filters are a real step up.

We have to wear masks at work. I have tried many different kinds and this is the only one that does not fog up my glasses. The wire in the nose of thing is the perfect blend of stiff and comfortable. It holds it's shape and does the job. This is the only mask I will use. Well done, OR.

I work in an indoor setting and have yet to contract Covid-19.

In these unfortunate times this is a comfortable mask that can be worn for extended periods. Easy to wash, as well as to replace the filter.

Great fit and comfortable. Can wear for 8 to 12 hours straight.

I have to wear a mask for long hours at a time and this one is the most comfortable I've found so far. I wear with and without filter, but love that I have the option. Bought for my entire family and it's their chosen mask too.

Like the fit. Silicone clasp don't hurt my ears.

As a teacher that has to wear a surgical mask all day in class I am relieved at the end of the day when I get to put on this mask. Comfortable and adjustable. The wire over the nose is easy to form and keeps the mask in the right place to keep you safe.

Got this guy for EDC and for work at a Covid testing site. Boy-o is it comfy!! Wearing it 12 hours a day feels like not wearing a mask at all! With mask and filter, I feel much, much safer than just a non-sterile mask or bandana. Thanks OR, keep lookin out for everyone! Much appreciated!

This is a great mask. It fits well and feels safer than the homemade cloth masks I've been using.

Well-designed and well-made.

This is the best mask I have found. Breathable, good adjustable noise piece and lanyards. Buy em!

Great have several

Great fit. Seals perfectly

The go-to mask for both my husband and me.

This is the best mask I have used thus far. It covers a large area of my face and breaths well. I've found most other masks get clammy on the inside whereas this mask stays dry and breathable. I highly recommend it! The replaceable filters offer superior cleanliness.

Now being 9 months into Covid I've tried quite a few different masks, including some from other outdoor companies. The OR mask beats them all by far! It feels extremely well made and with excellent coverage. The adjustable ear loops are great. I'm happy to wear this and would definitely buy it again.

Super comfortable and doesn't fog up my glasses. The added filters are a nice touch for more protection

Working in the schools, I've tried several different masks. This is the most comfortable, and effective mask I've found. Once fitted, it stays on like a glove! We put it through a couple of tests at home: Trying to blow out a candle (it wouldn't let us do it) and a holding water test (it didn't let any water through the fabric)...seriously, you could use this as a cup in a pinch...although probably not the best of ideas. This mask, combined with the filters offers a lot of protection. Since the first purchase, we have picked up more of these masks. If you haven't tried them, give it a try, they are worth the price.
