Customer Reviews Outdoor Research Essential Face Mask Kit

Face mask runs large. Even after adjusting I had 2-3 inches hanging loosely on my chin. Awesome mask, bummed it didn't fit! Gave it to someone else and they loved it!

Fits well and comfortable over a long period. Doesn't fog my glasses but wire does push them a little out of position.

This is one of the more comfortable masks I've purchased. The adjustable ear straps work way better than just a normal strap and makes it a lot more comfortable.

The mask seems pretty good so far and is good in terms of comfort and adjustability, but it's a bit too big for my face. It would be nice if they came in different sizes.

I use this when running to comply with rules of wearing a mask within 6' of another person on trails. Easy on, easy off, and is materially more hydrophobic than other masks I have worn. Unfortunately have had the experience of other masks and gaiters holding moisture and being near impossible to breath through when soaked with sweat. This product works much better for me. Metal nosepiece fits firmly and seals the top well. Then there is the filter...the filter doesn't stay in place well, at all. OR is smart and sure it will get sorted out. Glad to have this mask. Its not perfect, but it is in hand which is far better than waiting on some theoretical perfect. Keep at it OR, you will sort the filter situation out. This works great for me now and will only get better.

Great fitting mask for all face shapes and sizes! Rated 4 instead of 5 due to filter coming out or getting dislodged easily. Maybe double stick fabric tape will help.

comfortable mask... filter moves or buckles with time on face...

Wear this mask several hours a day. Opted out of the filter most of the time. Still working that part in to my routine. Not sure how long it will hold up to multiple washings.

Great fit and love that the ear loops are adjustable. Also highly appreciative of the disposable filter for that extra layer of protection...no pun :) 1 star off because my only complaint is my glasses tend to fog while wearing this mask.

I love the mask. The fit is great and it is lightweight. My one complaint is that the filter will not stay In place, bunches up and I end up taking it out. There is just not enough of an end flap on each side to make it stay. Needs improvement

First filter I've used that I didn't greatly dislike. I wear a face mask outside as needed plus 40 hours a week inside at work. Doesn't push on my nose. Breathes well. Disposable filter insert moves around and keeps this very good system from being great. A bigger insert that tucked in better would probably do the trick.

Pro: Super comfortable, Cool to wear all day/doesn't get hot. Comfortable adjustable straps. Comfortable adjustable nose piece. Con: I feel like the mask could be shortened a little in the distance between the side of the mask and corner of the mouth.

It's a great fitting mask! Tight around the nose and still fits under the chin. Filters are nice but sometimes not as comfortable. I usually use it without the filter.

The mask fits me, but not my wife, so a smaller size for her would be useful. I use the mask indoors at work because I feel that it provides the filtration that I need to stay safe. The metal nose piece tends to bend when I store the mask, so I reshape it before I wear it. I'm curious to know when the nose piece will break.

I love this mask. It has the best nose clip of all the masks I've tried (maybe 8-10 different models). But I do not love the packaging, which is terribly earth-unfriendly, especially with a plastic pouch that serves no purpose but to contain the mask that won't be used again! Change the packaging so I can recommend it to others and buy more for myself.

Large for a woman's face (I'm 5'6" average build) for vertical height (chin to note). I shift it down so covers more under my chin. I was surprised to learn that the additional filter would slide into pockets on the sides to hold into place. Therefore touching the face in the center. However, I will not use as I'm using it for outside activities with hopes that it will wick better than my cotton masks. I like that the earloops are adjustable.

The mask is the best fitting I've found so far with the adjustable ear loops. It's also light weight and breathable. My only concern is with the abrasiveness if the filter inserts which are mildly uncomfortable.

Mask fits well and is quite comfortable, however the filter has a tendency to slip around and bunch up. Perhaps if the filter was larger at the front of the mask it would fit better over the nose and chin. Does great under glasses and with the metal nose guard allows for a tight fit and no fogging.

It fits very well on both my husband and myself, and it's breathable. I just have a problem with the filter coming loose. In fact I lost one as I had the mask hanging from my ear as I was taking it on and off frequently and moving around with a food tasting. At one point toward the end of the evening I noticed that the filter had totally come out.

Pretty good, fits easily in pocket and thin frame for nose keeps it's shape, the filters are good idea but get a little wrinkled and fall out after a while, without filter the fabric kinda stinks, but it's a pandemic mask so none of them are great

These are good - fit well and my glasses don't fog up

The fit and comfort of the mask is great! However, I don't like that there isn't a pocket for the filter. The filter doesn't always stay in place if you have to take this mask on and off. I had to buy velcro to put in the sides of the mask to hold the filter. I don't like spending this much on a mask and having to modify it to make it more functional. Also I feel the filters would last longer if there was a pocket because it would keep them cleaner.

Really like the fit and adjustable ear loops. Wish it held the filter insert more securely.

I just ordered my second one of these masks. I LOVE the fit and comfort, and it's reassuring to know that it's about as protective as a non-medical mask can be. My lone complaint is that the filter tends to slide around, and sometimes wants to fall out of its pocket when the mask is not being worn. I think some simple design adjustments could easily fix this (make filter holder a trike pocket, and not just wings on the sides), and I'm hoping OR will address it soon. At that point, I'd give it a 5-star plus review!

Great mask, but I've got chubby cheeks and when using the filters, they tend to rub against my face.
