Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Essential Face Mask Kit

This product is excellent. I've purchased at least 5 other brands and so far this one is the most comfortable and most breathable. I love the adjustable strap, nose wire, filter insert, and fabric breathability. I've worn the mask all day without much issue. The minor downside to this mask is that the filter insert holders are only on the sides. No issue for me, the filter stays in place on my petite face. But the filter often slides out the bottom of my hubbies taller face. I assume this is caused by the movement of his jaw as he speaks, so he needs to tuck it back in on occasion.

Fits well -- not too tight or too loose. Nicely adjustable. High quality materials and stitching. I use this mask for daily outdoor walks, hiking, and visits to the rock gym (minus the paper filters). Only possible improvement would be a lanyard to hold the mask on loosely when I need to temporarily take it off (e.g., while driving).

This mask is the best fitting, breathable mask I've found and the very long metal band in the nose clip makes a much better fit than the average mask. The mask is designed to be used with a filter, but the design is such that only the ends of the filter tuck into pockets and the most of the rough filter material is against your face. I'd strongly recommend that the designers go back to the drawing board and make a full pocket of very soft material on the inside for user comfort. When this happens, I'll buy several more for myself, family and friends.

Great (adjustable) fit and good facial covering. Comfortable and does not restrict breathing. Comes with 3 insert filters (would suggest ordering more) and mask is washable.

I use it when doing cardio workouts. I like my ability to breathe when using it.

I wear this mask daily- it is my absolute favorite. After trying several different mask styles this fits the best and is the most comfortable.

The disposable paper against your face reduces moisture and adds a layer of N95 protection. Adjustable ear straps a big plus for comfortable bu tight seal.

Excellent fit and coverage! Probably the best mask I have bought so far!

The essential face mask is the most comfortable mask we've tried yet. It excels in coverage and we have had no problem with fogged glasses. These masks are cool and comfortable in warm weather or exercise. They wash easily and dry quickly. We're not wild about the filters given that they're in 2 pieces which tend to slip, but that is insignificant compared to how much we appreciate these masks. We only use the filters for occasions that demand more caution. The grey and fatigue are our favorites. We own 6 now and are fans!

Worn daily for work and outside interaction. Couldn't be more comfortable, and I love the ability to replace the filter so easily.

This is the first mask I've tried that I can wear for long periods of time. Highly recommended!

Very comfortable mask - even, or especially, in warm weather.

It is certainly the most comfortable mask to wear I have tried to date. Being able to wash it and change the filters is a plus. As to it's effectiveness, I am hopeful.

These masks are great and come with 3 filters. Adjustable and lightweight. Please make more of them!!!

Love this mask. The fit and comfort level are better than any other mask I've tried.

Comfortable fit.

Awesome color. Great fit.

I work in retail and this mask is comfortable enough to wear all day. My favorite mask.

I use it for my job, comfortable to wear and breathable.

I work in a busy restaurant and have had trouble finding breathable masks. These do the trick perfectly and I've recommended them to our whole staff.

This is a very well-fitting face mask that is totally comfortable to wear. I like that the sides are super easy to adjust with the beads, and they stay in place after adjustment. The filters that go inside are wonderful for an extra layer of protection designed to keep out most viruses and bacteria. I feel confident whenever I am not able to avoid people completely; this mask is essential!!!!

Love this mask!

Great fit. Comfortable. Breathable.

Best mask at a great price. Comfortable, good coverage and comes with 3 filters that interface perfectly. You should have bought this mask months ago.

Mask is darn close to perfect. I can't really think of an improvement. Fits comfortably and adjusts for a tight seal. Enough space in front of mouth to be able to talk freely. Comfortable enough for all day wear.
