Parcil Distribution PD-101 Full Face Organic Vapor Respirator – Full Manufacturer Warranty – ASTM Tested – Double Activated Charcoal Air filter – Eye Protection – Industrial Grade Quality

First the good:*Super good looking*Easy to breathe*Visor didn't fog*Excellent customer serviceMy family loved this mask and found it quite comfortable. It also looks great and I don't know what magic makes the visor not fog, but it works well. With the discount added for the holidays, this was a fantastic value.And then the bad:*Didn't fit my apparently big giant head.I'm a 6ft, 265lb man. I served in the military and have some experience wearing similar style masks in the Army. This mask just did not fit my face. The top strap was at the extreme end of its length. The side straps only had maybe two detents left to adjust. The part I really couldn't tolerate was the fit with my face. The rubber seal crossed the outside edge of my eye sockets. The mouth portion of the mask was too low to make my nose uncomfortable and too high, making talking a jaw workout. The rest of my face was squeezed through the facial opening like a fat volcano about to erupt.I go snorkeling a few times a year and have no problem wearing either full or partial face masks. This one just wasn't for me.Amazon has a no return policy because somebody (me) smashed my face on it. Understandable. I wrote Parcil Safety directly asking if they had any other way to make it fit or for suggestions and they were so nice. They immediately said it sounded too small and issued me a prepaid return label, followed by a full refund.I wouldn't turn anyone away from one of these unless they have a large head. They are built sturdy and provide great airflow. They look incredibly good. They have a few different models if you want to connect to different style cartridges.The insanely good customer service on top of all this makes it an easy choice.

To anyone who has taken down Lath and plaster ceilings, you will know the dust and grits in the air ! . This mask is a life changer for me , no grit in my eyes and great fresh air to breath all day long. The face mask is good and wide so good vision, the straps are stretchy and very easy to use. I have cleaned mine once with fresh water and air dried as instructed and it came out well. NOT the filter cartridges as i am not sure if it is possible. Overall this is a Great product, in my opinion.

I bought this to ensure I didn't breath in a bunch of drywall dust during a home renovation project. Plenty of working over my head, so I thought I'd give the full face protection a try. I've tried the dust masks with safety glasses, but as soon as I put those one, the glasses are completely fogged within a few seconds (a major danger when you're using power tools while working). I was concerned that wearing full face mask would trigger a claustrophobic response or a general feeling of difficulty breathing. I was quite surprised that after just a few minutes, it was quite comfortable and I quickly became used to the mask. Yeah you're breathing in through a filter, so it adds a little bit of labor to breathing, but within a few hours of use over a couple of days, I'd forget I was wearing it.I also wore 3M over the ear hearing protection (like headphones...which are great by the way) so once I had the mask and the hearing protection on, it was a bit of a surreal work environment. It was nice and quiet, but I could hear my own breathing like Darth Vader in my head. But the protection offered was absolutely great. AND NO FOGGING UP....I mean NO FOG....I was sweating like a pig and I expected to have to stop constantly to wipe down the interior of the mask, but the seal between your mouth/nose and the rest of your face is awesome. And comfortable to boot!I'm not sure exactly how you're supposed to clean it, but I removed the filters and just rinsed in the sink at the end of the day. Used for at least 10 days (with cleaning at the end of the day), and it still looks like new. I wish I had discovered these long ago. I've pulled it out for several mundane uses as well: Emptying the shop vacs, using the circular saw, grinding a nail head off above my head (sparks everywhere, but just threw on a floppy hat and was protected). The price was right and I'm very happy with the purchase (and my lungs are much happier campers!).

The respirator works as intended and performed beautifully! As an Environmental & Waterworks Operator who works for a chicken processing plant, I can say without a doubt that this mask has helped me in places where Organic and Chemical fumes are the strongest. So long as the mask has been tightly secured and adjusted appropriately, it'll do the job in filtering the air you need to breathe safe and sound.The respirator was put through a 48 hour trial run and introduced to areas where chemical and harmful organic fumes are known to be more concentrated and again I can confirm, the respirator performed beautifully. Not too expensive yet not too cheap. Fits snug on the face and easy to adjust! My crew is already wanting ones for themselves so I highly recommend this product for someone who wants something that meets in the middle as far as price goes.

I bought this for mowing as I have bad allergies and where I live the soil is sandy so lots of dust when its dry. I had some issue getting the straps to hold but found that you cannot lift away from your head even a little when pulling the straps or they pop loose when you let go of them. Maybe future models will have a more secure locking mechanism.
