Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Essential Face Mask Kit

Love it. I bought a few to give away to my family. They all love them.

This is such a comfortable mask. I do wish it was a little more structured, in the sense that it hold it's true shape a little longer. But compared to every other mask I've tried, it doesn't squish my nose or sit on my mouth, restricting my speach. The filters need to have velcro or some way of holding them in place better, but I really don't use them much right now.

Fabulous mask. I recommend it.

Awesome mask. It's what the doctor ordered.

Great product.

Love the color and how it fits. They alway make me feel safe when out and about.

Easy to put together and fits comfortably.

Use the face mask kit everyday. It's larger size fits my face more completely and doesn't require constant adjustment. The filter gives me that added confidence.

Here are my demands: I need a mask that fits my giant head, stays in place, is breathable, looks simple and minimalistic, is easy to clean, isn't wildly expensive, and (of course) actually provides COVID protection. The Outdoor Research mask checks off all of these boxes and more. To have a mask that I can rely on day-in and day-out makes the dumpster fire that is 2020 seem a bit more manageable. Mask up with OR!

I bought one for me and my wife and they both fit us great. Very adjustable.

I would say the same thing that I wrote about the black mask.

Love the OR Facemasks. They are super comfortable with a great and close fit, my glasses never fog up! The close fit and disposable filters are key for safety! Thank you!

A very discriminating friend recommended these masks so we ordered one for each of us. They are the best we've tried! Besides being comfortable, fitting well, and being easy to put on and take off, they wash easily and dry quickly just like advertised. My glasses don't fog up. We're in an older age bracket and always wear them with the filter. It is still easy enough to breathe and we feel that this combination gives us a high level of protection from COVID-19 virsuses and other airborne germs as well as protecting others from any germs we may unknowingly breathe out. We have also been grateful to have them during days of smokey toxic air from wildfires. We've ordered them for gifts and, on our recommendation, relatives have ordered them and are pleased. It's terrific that you now have colors and kids' masks. Thank you.

Absolutely fabulous masks. Only problem is that I lost one of them... In a pocket somewhere that I can't locate. So now I'm ordering more :-)

As a physician I have tried many masks to use personally while away from work and this is by far the best!!!

The OR mask fits me much better than any other form fitted mask yet. It is well made, the earloops are brilliant, being adjustable and material that feels like it would last. Coverage is good for me, whereas I can talk, move my jaw and the mask does not fall below my nose. However, I will insert the only con here; though this is the best fitting mask I have found to date, I do wish there was one larger size available, that's all, as I have a big noggin. Have to add, the nose bridge wire on this mask is about the best I've used. It isn't a thin wire that seemed like an afterthought. We'll see if it holds long term (up to the recommended lifespan including washing cycles for this mask) Now allot of reviewers have complained about the filter insert. I anticipated the issue before receiving my OR mask, I had fabric tape, velcro, stuff like that at the ready. Haven't needed any of those things after many hours of use. I don't see it being an issue. I handle this mask with some care and the filter has stayed in place with countless rounds of putting it on and removal. I don't get the issues with the filter. Maybe if they are inserted upside down, or without completely placing the wings in the pockets? Anyways, I would say with care in the filter placement and some iota of care in storage of the mask it won't be an issue. The material for the exterior of the mask is polyester with a subtle OR logo on one side. So OR brought these masks to market which included the claim they were treated with HEIQ V-BLOCK NPJ03. Antimicrobial chemical. Oddly, I can't find this information any longer on their Canadian site. Overall, this is a good mask and I do recommend this model. I just wish they offered one size larger.

This makes fits really well because it is adjustable. we love the filters also.

This mask works very well for me inside a classroom 8 hours a day. It's very breathable and easy to talk through.I am using a new filter each day to be safe. While I have other cotton masks, the OR mask is used at work since the filter had proven to blockout more germs. It's also very comfortable.

Bought for N95. I have to trust that it is what it says it is. The mask is very comfortable and breathable, even compared to my cotton ones.

This mask fits great! It is comfortable and doesn't fog up my sunglasses. It is so good, I bought several for my family!

Finally got one that fits over a beard. Comfortable and easy to adjust.

I have a small face and so have difficulty finding a mask that will stay on securely, esp. when I speak. This mask does the trick. The adjustable straps secure the mask to my face. It is a well sized mask, covering nose and mouth. And the material seems substantial, but comfortable. Highly recommend.

FIts well, easily adjustable, and can be configured to allow excess heat to be vented. i appreciate the zippered pouch which allows for easy storage when not in use.

I bought one for each family member. Everyone says they are very comfortable to wear for long periods of time. My youngest son wears his two days a week, for about 7 hours each day, in school. My oldest is wearing his at his no-contact, social distancing basketball practices.

Use for chemotherapy in infusion room...feel more protected.
