Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Essential Face Mask Kit

This mask fits perfectly! Filters are great too!

I've used 5 different types of masks in my work environment. I prefer this mask for all day 5-days-a-week at work, and recently on off-days trail running in smokey forest fire conditions. Due to the "filter slippage" others have mentioned, I started applying a tiny little piece of 2-sided tape (that I stuck-to, then pulled-off my hand a couple times to reduce the stickiness) to the far outside of each wing, and another tiny piece at the very top edge above my nose, to keep the filter seated to the mask. Works great, no "tape" smell or stiffness or anything, tape comes off easy with almost no filter fuzz, and filter stays in place through repeated removals. Walking uphill from car to work with masks felt stifling to me at first, but once I start actually running with this one on, it feels fine. Maybe slight extra diaphragm workout when running faster than "conversation" pace. Seemed to work well for smoke. Felt less hoarse after a day running in the smoke with this mask than I did the day before walking around in it w/o a mask. The center seams do a great job keeping the filter away from your lips once you get really sweaty, which is key!

High quality and extremely comfortable.

These fit my husband (who has a large-ish head and a beard) perfectly, and look super sharp. High quality fabrics and construction and they wash well.

This one helps keeps my glasses from fogging, other brands don't! Enough said. Fit and finish is exemplary.

Fantastic! Comfortable, adjustable, and the filters work great. I've been able to go outside in the smoke and not smell it.

Nice fit and breathability. Quality construction. Well thought out system

The most comfortable mask I have found. The extra filters are a little hard to put in and keep in place but other than that a great mask.

This is the best fitting mask I've bought so far. After buying an initial pair, I purchased 3 more. I've just gone back to work and these have been comfortable for multi-hour shifts. I appreciate the wire nose piece for adjustments, along with the generous ear loops. I normally wear L and XL hats, and most masks have been too small.

I use this daily. It fits well. Doesn't hurt my ears. Doesn't fog up my glasses and I can breath well. I use the standard mask when I am just walking around but add the filter when I go into a store or am around a lot of people.

Best fitting mask I've been able to get.

Great fit! Finally one big enough!

Wearing this mask is easy and comfortable. The adjustable straps mean that it doesn't pull on my ears. Wore this mask for several airplane flights with no illness or ill effects.

Use the mask daily, with the filter. Fit and adjustability are fantastic.

Nose clip adjustability is great. adjustable stretch around the back of the ear makes it easy to dial in the right amount of tension. I read that a bandana actually makes transmission potential higher, as the airborne droplets are made smaller and disperse better...I hope I didn't make anyone sick before I switched to the OR!

this mask was great, comfortable, light, and the best part it does not fog up your glasses

Everyday mask and works great when wearing it for long periods of time. Adjustable straps are great as I have a big melon and most masks make my ears look like Dumbo.

A secure and comfortable fit. Adjustable straps work well

The only mask I feel legitimately safe in in lew of a n95

I use this product as my daily mask. It is awesome, stylish, and protects well. I definitely recommend it. Great job OR!

I am a teacher and need a comfortable mask! I also love the filter. It makes me feel safer. I got 3 mask sets to swap out each day.

I have been looking for a breathable face mask to use while cycling now that the studies have come out about gaiters not being as effective. This face mask is amazing! I used it on two bike rides during one of our intense heat waves. My friends could not believe I was wearing the mask the whole time, but it really was not an issue. I felt like I had my own "bubble" and the face mask held its structure so that I was not sucking it back in towards my face even when I was really exerting myself. Side note: watching the video on the filter was great. It did not move around during my exercise.

Wear this product daily. Best one I've found yet.

Love these masks. Bought 2, one for husband & one for me. He has a huge head & mine is small - the masks adjust perfectly for both. The filters can be a bit tricky but do a great job & love that they're also reusable. Will definitely buy more when they make it across the border again to Canada.

Works well and is fairly comfortable and adjustable.
