Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Essential Face Mask Kit

Pretty comfy, clean easily, and I like that the filter is the actual mask shape and not just a rectangle that slides into part of it, like on many masks. Sometimes the filter gets bunched up funny though, since there's nothing between the filter and your face (the mask's basically open on the inside).

Having the filter right against your face and the mask open on that side means it's probably more sanitary to reuse by just swapping out the filter, but it also means the filter sometimes bunches up a bit funny against your face if you mess with it. I have a variety of masks, and the OR ones have become my main go-to. I do like that the filter is the actual mask shape, not just a rectangle that slides in part of it like on some of my other masks.

These masks are great. My glasses still fog up but otherwise, they fit well!

I really like these face masks and have bought about a dozen of them for myself and family so that we always have them handy. They offer great coverage and I like that they're treated up to 30 washes. They're easy to adjust thanks to the metal prongs around the nose and the toggles on the ear loops, so they feel snug. The paper filters are a little tricky and don't always stay put. I use a bit of velcro to keep them in place and that does the trick. Would definitely recommend.

I did a lot of research before purchasing masks and it quickly became clear that Outdoor Research was above and beyond most others.

I love the fit and look of these masks, and having disposable filters makes then far more effective than mere cloth (according to many recent studies). The filters are reasonably priced ($10 for 25), but since you have to pay shipping on small orders, but spares when you buy the mask or other OR goods!

This is one of the BEST masks for wearing glasses & not fogging up. Plus you can buy replacement filters (don't think Zappos is selling them right now). The mask was recommended by a salesperson at an outdoor store on East Coast (E**) Then I bought a 2nd one & one for my husband from another Outdoor Retailer (R**). Then bought MANY more filters & 2nd one for my husband for substitute teaching. NOW I'm buying 1 more mask for work. Read the product info: re how the material (2 layers) has been treated with some antimicrobial. It was (and still is) the mask I wear when going to a doctor's office or super market.

My wife and I have 6 OR masks between us. We like the fit and quality. The color choices are also a plus. The one problem is that the filter can slip out place on the sides and bunch up in the middle. We added stick-on Velcro dots inside the side panels to prevent the sliping.

This mask is one of the only ones I have used that doesn't make my glasses fog up which has been fantastic! My one complaint is that it does get a little bit stuffy after wearing it for a while. Other than that it is another great product from Outdoor Research!

I had a couple of these and wanted one that was a fun color, so the main reason I bought this was the fact it's that nice blue. These are good masks for doing errands around town or low impact exercise, but I find it's pretty hard to breathe through them if I'm breathing really hard. Luckily OR makes another nice one that works great for more intense workouts.

I have one of these and found it useful for hiking or errands around town. Because it sits so close to my mouth, I find it difficult to use for heavy exercise, but it's much more breathable than most of my homemade masks, so it's good for wearing for extended periods of time. I wish the filters were washable or more sustainable.

The fit is incredible. The ear loops are adjustable and comfortable. The nose piece has the perfect amount of stiffness. The only drawback is that the replaceable filter does not always stay in place throughout a long mig work day.

This is a great product and I recommend purchasing it. The filter is a likable and effective feature, but due to its replaceable nature it can get folded and twisted in the mask during use. The tradeoff of additional safety is worth the minor inconvenience.

It's very breathable, light weight and fairly comfortable. The fabric is somewhat scratchy.

I've tried a lot of masks, but really like the durable yet not heavy feel of this mask. It has a solid nose piece that doesn't get warped in the washer the way some others do. It could probably be a touch larger as it sometimes gets caught on my chin and pulls down the part over the nose.

Great for everyday use and sports, doesn't make your face too sweaty; but, something about these masks smell like actual dog poop after a few hours of wearing them - I've confirmed with multiple other people too

This mask is made from dense woven material, essential to its protective function. It fits well and is adjustable. The paper filter tends to move around and get out of place. I used a bit of two-sided tape inside of the filter pockets and they kept it in place more securely.

Greta fit, but scratchy material without the inserts

Work occasionally in Emergency Management support within my State. The function in office, and in the public eye is aided with the masks from OR.

Filter does not stay in place and has to be repositioned every time you put on mask. Glasses do not fog up as much as other filters because of lower fit below the eyes..

The fit is great, and it's very comfortable and lightweight when not using any filters (which are not necessary outdoors, for instance). With the filter, it's less comfortable and a bit bulky. The filter doesn't fit in the side slots that wellit often slips out or bunches up. Also, the "sunset" color looks red/orange online, but it's actually pink.
