BASE CAMP Upgrade M Plus Dust Mask, Reusable Respirator Mask for Woodworking, Face Protection with 99.9% Effective Carbon Filters for Construction, Landscaping, Sanding, Painting, Pollution

This mask has excellent filtration. I decided to get a good mask for when I do my yard work. Before purchasing this mask I used to take allergy medication before doing my yard work and would still get messed up from the grass, dirt, and pollen blowing around. This time I tested using this mask without using allergy medication. I also did both front and back yards this time , 1 hour mowing, edging, and using the blower. Since the nose and mouth are covered, breathing does get fairly warm but absolutely not restricted. It has ear loops which are nice and the neck strap is velcro adjustable for a perfect fit. Out of the bag, a reusable storage one at that, I didn't find it having any awful smell being new. I had safety glasses on and had no fogging issues. The safety glasses stayed on, no problem at all needing to readjust them. Absolutely easy to replace the filters and for sure a great value with so many replacement filters that come with it. After settling down after the yard work, I feel great. My eyes and nose don't feel any allergy symptoms at all. This mask filtered the air I was breathing exceptionally well.

I’ve bought similar dust masks before, but this one’s a definite upgrade. The filters are easier to swap out, and while they’re technically disposable, I’ve washed both the filters and the mask a few times with no issues (yes, I bend the rules). It blocks most dust particles and even helps a bit with smoke and paint fumes. I wouldn’t rely on it daily in a heavy-duty environment, but for general dust protection, it does the job. It’s also more comfortable than my last mask—the ear loops are better, there’s more breathing room around the nose, and the nose piece actually cinches down and stays put. Works better with glasses, though let’s be honest: in cool weather, your glasses are going to fog no matter what mask you wear. Comfortable, easy to use, strap around the back of the neck. Five stars—I’d buy them again.

The construction of the mask is really good, and the filters seem to work well for dust and woodworking. Pros: The nose piece is very malleable and stays in position, even for my narrow nose. The Velcro strap that secures the mask is high quality and comfy. I don’t have any fears of it falling off during use. High end filters that you can see the individual layers of Redirects your hot breath out thru the valves to reduce fogging. It comes in different colors, not just black. Cons: Many mask slip up to my chin, because I have a longer face than average. This mask is no exception. It does muffle your voice a bit. You might lose a gasket or plastic changing the filter, and it doesn’t come with extra. Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was because I wished they had a larger (longer) size available. 5/5

I use this when wood turning. I don't like wearing a full on respirator so this seems to work out well for me. It fits me well and I have pretty big ears.

Perfect fit, great quality, easy to breathe in

Fits my big head very well, filters out the wood dust from sanding effectively

The neck strap is constantly sliding down regardless of how tight it is. This pulls the mask down in front, slowly uncovering my nose. The black, two-sided, check valve retainers for the replaceable paper mask are very tight, and removing them dislodges the diaphragm, which itself is very difficult to reinsert. The replaceable, paper insert is only good for a couple hours, where other brands have worked for a full day. The ear loops are useless as there is too much material are saggy. The adjustable nose clip doesn't stay after being adjusted. Worst of all, you can't return this item. I've been trying my best to find work-arounds but I think it'll be in the trash in the next few days. If anyone from their customer service department sees this, I would love a refund, despite your policy. Do the right thing.

I like the color and the mask itself is good. My issue is with the straps. To make it tight enough to feel like a good seal you have to tighten the strap behind your neck. Even at the smallest size the ear loops don’t compensate so it pulls the whole mask down and is uncomfortable. There needs to be a step behind the back of your head. I see they have one like that but only in black.
