Review on NIOSH Approved Mask Particulate Respirator by Chris Peck

While not the most fashionable mask, it definitely meets the needs of ALL places that still require masks. This is a NIOSH-approved N95 mask and is a major safety upgrade over the "surgical masks" that are handed out left and right. I love that the mask is NIOSH Approved and stamped N95 which eliminates the quizzical looks from executives and Karen. Absolutely passes the candle test. At first I couldn't get it to be snug, but I criss-crossed the straps, which wrap completely around your head, so the bottom one is over my ears and the top one is under my ears, making Wah-La a perfect fit. No place. Glasses do not fog up. I can even spray paint in my small garage without flaring up. Personally, the best part for me is that while it fits my face snugly, it doesn't splinter on my nose and lips. I'm super claustrophobic and this mask doesn't scare me. Light enough to wear a full 9 hour shift without causing a headache or choking sensations.
