FIGHTECH Dust Mask | Mouth Mask Respirator with 4 Carbon Filters for Pollution Pollen Allergy Woodworking Mowing Running | Washable and Reusable Neoprene Half Face Mask (L/FIRE)

This was worthless, I wore it for only half an hour shoveling the pictured sawdust and the inside of the filter was full of sawdust (pictured). I had it as tight as I could get it with a brand new filter and I was still breathing dust. It also would not seal around the top of my nose and caused a jet of air to travel up my nose directly into the corner of my eye with every exhale which just blew dust right into my eyes too. Don't waste your time or money with this.

This is my completely honest review. I like the design of this mask and it is a pretty snug fit. I like the velcro on the strap it’s not like normal velcro where everything wants to stick to it it’s like low profile instead of all over the place for example (velcro on a lunchbox or backpack, etc.) I also like how it goes over your ears, that’s what makes it a snug fit. However, I mow for a living and I was getting sick and tired of breathing in a bunch of nasty stuff and hacking up black mucus at the end of the day I thought I would try this out. At first, It really didn’t bother me that much, about 10 to 15 minutes into mowing my nose started to get really irritated having this on. I thought it’s not that bad I can handle that if it keeps me from breathing in all that dust. But...after about 30 to 45 minutes later I couldn’t take anymore of this thing, like most other masks, it gets way to hot having it on it’s almost like I couldn’t breathe, I had to take it off. Now if there was someway that someone could make a mask or the filter turn cold while you are wearing it that would be awesome. Also, it fogs up my glasses but goes away pretty fast I guess it depends how hard your breathing and what the weather is like outside. Lastly, although the design and material of this masks seems pretty strong I would probably bet some money it would have ripped after a month, starting with the piece that goes over your ears. I guess it also depends what kinda job and how long you are using it for. Back to the drawing board for me.

Ok, so a review from someone doing demolition everyday. AND SWEATING! If your a pencil pusher doing arts and crafts in their garage then this is the mask for you. But if you actually work, sweat and really need a mask to protect yourself.... save your money. Ok so key word, SWEAT. When you sweat heavily and breathing heavily, this mask sucks. The sweat gets trapped in the mask and actually will make you feel like your drowning. The sweat will get into the breather holes and when you inhale, you will breathe in the sweat. As far as cooler air, that part is great. It’s not like other masks, where it’s hard to breathe and the harder you work the harder it is to breathe. But for me this mask is useless. If you don’t sweat while your working then it’ll be fine for you. Used 1 time and thrown away, guess I’ll go back to my 3m masks.

This mask is absolutely useless when it comes to smoke or smog. it's pretty much false advertisement when they tell you it's for pollution or smog you can smell it it's not filtering

This mask design is a knock-off a more expensive Respro Sportsta. Unlike the the Respro masks, these filters are very very thin. I have no way of knowing whether or not these thin filters are as good as Respro filters, but I don't have high confidence for the following reasons.After purchasing multiples of this mask I've realized that this exact mask is sold under a number of brands. Moreover, my Fightech branded masks arrived with similar designs, but slightly different components. Also, the marketing materials for these masks have noticeable typos. These are all telltale signs of a cheap Chinese manufacturer.

Those black two valves on either end are 1 and a half inch GIANT holes in the mask with thin rubber flaps that are ziploc bag thin.These holes don't function correctly, ever.They will never prevent outside air particulates coming into your mask because they are just giant gaping holes in the mask that flap open and stay held open because of the bad valve mechanism and properties of the rubber shape and its material.Case in point: I had actually put this on when a person in class had a stupidly strong amount of funky cologne on who was a foreign weirdo who could barely speak English. Breathed in huge breaths and all I smelled was the guy's intense disgusting cologne inside of my mask.Do not buy this.

*I have received an upgrade to add into the mask and this has stopped all glasses fogging. 5 stars.*I have updated this after using this mask for some time now to a 4 star rating. It took some maneuvering and lots of trial and error but I'm having a bit more luck with the anti fog and this mask together. It has saved me from high pollen count days and works well with any dusty or yard worky type activities.*I would give this 4 stars but there are a few issues. The first being that I bought these mostly for cycling, I need to wear glasses, glasses fog up from air escaping from top of mask. This is troubling for 2 reasons: 1, I can't see with fogged up glasses, safety hazzard. 2, air probably shouldn't be coming in or out of the top of the mask that much and it's probably not filtering as well as it should because of this.I have tried to adjust it, tried anti fog which only seems to workfor about 30 minutes before fogging up again, nothing seems to work.While this mask is very much more comfortable than the typical cheap masks, I found the adjustable nose piece impossible to form successfully over my nose. It's either too loose and makes even more fog on my glasses, or it's too tight and smashes my nose to the point where I can not breathe well. I realize that it's probably my face shape that's the issue, but my face isn't that weird, I do have a "roman" nose.The ear bands don't always stay in place, but they are relatively comfortable.So besides cycling, which I'll have to try to find a different mask, it seemed to do well with around the house and yard tasks involving dust and grasses. I just can't wear my glasses at the same time.It does look pretty cool, like post apocalyptic.

The chemical smell on the neoprene made the mask unusable. I let it sit out for over 6 months and the smell is still unbearable.
