Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Essential Face Mask Kit

This is my number one mask choice when doing anything. Unfortunately due to all the smoke in my neighborhood (PNW) it actually adds a minimal layer of protection from the larger smoke particles. Although it's not rated for smoke exposure I've found that wearing it with the filter insert my lungs and throat don't hurt as bad when I'm outside. I'll take every once of protection I can get in these days.

The best mask I've found - especially for those who wear glasses. Bought for kids now back at school because the quality is so good.

Great fit and best of all using it in downtown SODO area of Seattle, with the smoke and COVID 19. I have tried a few other brands and this one is just right, not to hot and very breathable. Since we have been having hazardous air quality, the mask and the filter are doing a great job. The quality and construction is top notch, and received as a gift but would have purchased it myself.

Most comfortable mask I own!

Love the fit and that it doesn't get sucked into my mouth when I talk or slide up into my eyes. Also like the ability to change out the filter easily.

Finally found a mask that's both comfortable to wear and stays on my face while being active!

Comfy!

Best fitting and most breathable face masks I've found. If you use a filter, they stay in place and still feel comfortable.

I've been buying lots of different style masks to see what I like. The Outdoor Research mask is the best by far.

These are comfortable and easy to breathe but offer protection.

perfect fit + doesn't fog eyewear.

This is undoubtedly the most comfortable mask out there.

Easy fit that is both comfortable and convenient. Reusable filters and washing instructions keep this mask as the go-to.

Good piece of kit. The outer is robust enough to easlily handle the constant on/off/hung from rearview/shoved in pocket of the day to day. The liners fit well when needed. I've shoved other 'inner' masks as well. The straps well attached and you won't need to worry about them coming undone but they are not overly heavy or thick. The fit is better than nearly all of the other 2-piece sets out there. It tucks under your chin comfortably and rides well on your nose as well. We've all run through dozens of designs but I'll order another OR mask before I consider any other mask. TLDR: Good kit

This mask fits well, allows your mouth room to speak clearly. It does not push directly against your lips, metal in nose bridge area allows to cut off your breath from fogging up your glasses as well. It is also a very nice looking mask. Definitely recommend.

You KNOW you need a mask during this pandemic no matter what misinformation is being pushed out by those with self-serving agendas. As an RN let me confirm it. This is the best of all 6 masks I have tried. It is much more comfortable then others I have tried because of adjustable ear straps, comfortable fabric that is microbe resistant, water and stain repellent and easy to wash. Most importantly, this mask has plenty of room for mouth movements and never slips out of place while you speak to others. I bought a second one for my husband which he loves and plan to buy more for back up and gifts. Added bonus: It's been great to wear out in the yard during this hazardous air quality event in Oregon from the horrendous fires nearby. (9/11/20)

I use this for teaching in a college classroom. This one works better than any of the others I've tried for this purpose. I feel well protected, while also staying comfortable, even when projecting my voice large enough for a lecture hall. The adjustable ear loops allow for a tighter or looser fit around my ears, which allows me to ventilate a little while walking across campus, while still staying protected. I wish I could order a black one, but these still seem to be sold out. A lanyard would also add convenience, but I attached a sunglasses strap to keep the mask around my neck when not using.

I have been wearing the mask for a few weeks whenever I go out where I am in contact with people. I like the fit and the feel.

Love the simplicity of the design, the fit, and the filter replacement. Durable fabric; breathable, and easy to wash. The nose section is comfortable and making adjustments are easy. Overall satisfied.

High quality materials and construction..Very comfortable

Mask fits the contours of my face and is light weight making it easy to use whenever needed. Easy to replace the filters; any time and place.

I've been looking for a mask that provided adequate protection but also fit my face comfortably (I have a relatively small face). The adjustable ear loops are great and I love the ergonomic design. The mask is cut to fit close to the ears so no gaps. Plus the nose piece adjusts to fit perfectly so my glasses don't fog. The disposable inserts make this a near perfect solution. I haven't washed the mask yet but plan to do so by hand (not machine) with the hope of extending its use.

Really good mask, cover my mouth and nose most perfect.

I love this face mask. I wear it to work each day. I bought two masks and a few filters. This mask is most comfortable that I have found on the market today. I feel that I am doing my part to protect myself and others by wearing this each day.

Incredibly comfortable and a good fit around my nose and chin. I just wash them in the sink with delicates laundry detergent and let them air dry. The only things I wish is that they came in a couple more colors, had a couple more filters with them, and that they could keep them in stock!
