Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Essential Face Mask Kit

Only face mask I have used that did not fog up my glasses, Thanks for a great product.

Perfect fit and extremely comfortable

Best mask I've put on hands down. For someone who works outside this is a must have.

What I really like about this mask is you can adjust it to your face

Fits really well and well made. The adjustable elastics are great too. Glad to have this mask!

Work in the ER and have to wear my full kit for 12 hours a day. This is the most comfortable outside of work mask and reasonable compromise I have found. I can even wear it without the inner filter for 1/2 hour of treadmill work. We have bought 6 of these for our close family. The NIF (negative inspiratory force) to use it is not bad at all compared to the radiological chemical biological mask I have had to wear and exert myself in. Doesn't seem like it should be a hinderance to even the most feeble of mind.

Mask material seems to be hydrophobic which allows me to wear it when running on tight trails while around others. The mask holds its shape and doesn't collapse around my nose and mouth while using it. My cotton masks hold water and the neck gator solution gets water logged and I cant breath through it after sweating. The filter that this mask ships with is so so. It floats around in the mask and eventually slides out the bottom for me. I have made some of my own filters and they are only incrementally better. Hopefully v2 of this design will address the floppy filter. The mask is awesome. Its the only thing that works for me, a heavy sweater, while running. I can call it a 5 star and still recognize it needs to be better in v2, v3, etc.

I've tried on many a mask since March and I love these the most. Comfortable. Fits well (I'm 6'-1" with a big nose). Well made (Typical OR quality), durable and I think the filters work great. Definitely cannot blow out a candle wearing this mask. The adjustable ear loops and metal nose piece makes them fit almost perfect. Good seal. Thanks OR!!! Now all we need is better availability and some cool colors.

Fits well, excellent quality and comfortable to wear

Purchased for professional and high occupancy environments. Filter weave construction is proven and tested in laboratory environments. Closest alternative to medical grade N95 (trying to save those for medical, first responders and high risk populations). Zero smell amd ighly breathable unlike others reported experiencing. Materials dry quickly. Fits different face shapes comfortably and ergonomically. Mask colors are stain resistant and wash easily. Stays in place with the small, out of the way yet lock-tight toggles. Ear bands showing no signs of stretching or wear. Clearly well-thought out piece of gear for our current world environment. A reflection of OR's dedication to function and safety - much like all of OR's entire line.

Fits well, and the filters give an extra layer of protection.

This fits great. I was able to go on a run with it (with the filter), and it didn't fall into my mouth or make me feel like I was breathing my own exhaled air. I have rock climbed with it, but the structure that keeps it put my my mouth also makes it hard to see directly below me on the wall.

the favorite mask I buyed

I wear a mask all day at work so having one that is comfortable is key! Great fit and very comfortable - adjustable ear loops are a fantastic feature. Planned on buying more but out of stock every time! Wish a maroon color was available as well (hint hint )

I love the coverage and the fit of this mask. I've tried and used to own so many different masks and this one fits well and I feel "a sense of security" wearing it as it covers the face well. The filters need to be unfolded (you need to tear the middle part of it on the shortest side) and once you do that, you would have filters that fit the entire area of the mask.

This mask fits better than any other I have tried. The adjustable nose bridge keeps it from sliding off when I talk, and the bottom stays snugly on my chin.

Exceptional mask. I've been trying several from other outdoor gear manufacturers and this mask is by far the best fitting and most breathable. It offers the peace of mind a lot of us need right now. I wear this at the office, gym climbing and also on the trail and feel that it fits in well for just about any activity.

By far the best I've found for running. It's solid, stays put, is breathable enough to be comfortable. It's often totally fine to just put on and leave on - it's that comfortable. The filter inserts are super nice, easy, fit well, and help me feel safe enough to not be super stressed out when I happen to encounter a situation where I can't avoid people wandering around unmasked.

Fits well. Comfortable. Adjustable. And the N95 inserts provide a great layer of filtration and peace of mind.

Love it. Easy to adjust. Fits face well. Filter easy to put in and take out.

This was really comfortable, and the filters had structure so you dont feel like you're eating the mask.

Where at work and in public places. very comfortable, because I can adjust to fit me.

Comfy and stylish, I've used this mask mostly on trails and for quick forays into the public sphere. Customizable fit and breathable materials make for an excellent design. I'd rather have more of these than try anything else.

It's on as soon as I leave the house. Easy adjustable fit and comfortable to breath through (the most breathable mask I own). Does not scare small children. Most masks get hot if you re stuck in line, especially with a beard! These don't. Bought two and well worth waiting a short time until supplies were available.

Fits great! About as comfortable as a mask can be.
