- Reviewed in Canada on June 13, 2025Verified PurchaseI love the quick release on this mask.
With the right filters, keeps me alive.
I appreciate that.
- Reviewed in Canada on February 15, 2025Verified PurchaseIs as described, use it for welding and makes it easy to talk and get that extra breathe of air when needed
- Reviewed in Canada on May 22, 2021Verified PurchaseBought this for work when dealing with chemicals or to protect against welding fumes, it works fantastic.
This particular model is designed to work with welding helmets to protect against weld fumes which is one of the reasons I bought this one, I can use the respirator when working with chemicals or when I'm welding, just have to switch from cartridges to filters. It fits well underneath with my Lincoln electric helmet.
The rubber part that wraps over your mouth and nose really fits snug for me, it seals out the air really right so I'm only breathing through the filters or cartridges. It does get pretty sweaty wearing the mask for long hours, but it's not so much that it's uncomfortable.
The quick latch mechanism is a great feature, lets you pull the mask part way down for a quick talk, wipe your face of sweat, or just tend to that itchy spot. Just a really useful feature.
I will say though the one strap that goes around your neck appears to be pretty delicate, not terribly so, but enough that you should probably be careful. Regardless, I'd buy this again, probably more than once, it serves multiple purposes for me which is great.

- Reviewed in Canada on February 6, 2024Verified PurchaseOutstanding comfort and performance.
Breathing flows naturally, the fit is very comfortable and the quick latch does make it easier to open up for a drink of water or even talk freely.
It does fit good also when you're wearing safety glasses or hard hat.
Attention: make sure you get the correct size for your face. How tall you are is not an indicative of respirator size (I'm taller then average and my mask is medium).
Wrong size will impact on equipment performance and comfort.
- Reviewed in Canada on June 26, 2023Verified PurchaseIt's a good mask, works well. The problem (among many other products) is that there are some cheap plastic clips on this mask and if they break, it is useless. I have 2 and one of them is useless now because the clips are broken.
They do not sell replacements that I can see. You're only as strong as the weakest link and this mask has some serious weak links on it.
- Reviewed in Canada on December 1, 2020Verified PurchaseI own table saw, mitre saw and router as a hobbyist, so used to have a respirator. Recently I had to grind stone fireplace mantel to install new glass door. My old respirator strap was too lose - 10 year old one, so I could smell the stone dust? gas? while working on it. It was too much, so I stopped working after 5 minute. Local home depot no longer carry respirator due to covid, so ordered this from 鶹. It fits perfectly and works really well. I grinded stone mental in the living room and it triggered fire alarm after 15 minutes. Never imagined that stone dust can trigger fire alarm. Anyway, I could not smell a thing when it happened. I rushed to the fire alarm and turned it off, then realized that the whole living room was full of dust and foggy. I had to leave all doors open for 2 hours. Well, good thing is that this respirator did the job!
- Reviewed in Canada on May 25, 2021Verified PurchaseI’m in love with this mask. It’s summer time so where doing a lot of landscaping outdoors and have to cut stones down,the reg mask is a pain to put on and take off every time someone’s going to cut. With this mask it just hangs under my chin and when someone is going to cut just a quick flip on the latch which is right where the mouth/chin area is and then unlatch when there finished and I’m well protected. The item does not come with filters or filter covers so you will have to buy them. In my eyes it’s well worth the price for quick and easy convenience which saves times and headaches at the end of the day. Don’t hesitate due to the price,yes expensive but honestly well worth it.
- Reviewed in Canada on May 1, 2022Verified PurchaseI think it's great, quick release definitely good. I often wonder if the seal is complete because of the cold air racing across my lips, but I think it's just that easy to breathe in these things. Compared to a properly fitting 3m n95, a p100 that breathes and protects way better? Hell yes!
It muffles communication, which is fine if it's quiet, but in a loud setting you're down to hand signals or making your phone yell at people, but I'll take that trade off. Point, thumbs up, wave no, flip bird - I'm good to go.
