3M 7503 Reusable Half Face Mask, Large

works well no detectable odor in mask

More better than the previous model.

MOST COMFORTABLE DESIGN. SOFT SILICONE, with simple features that don't cake up with saw dust in the shop. THIS MASK IS AMAZING, however, many other reviews and the 3M description cover most of that.. COMFORTABLE FIT AND QUICK RELEASE. Soft silicone face mask easily conforms to many shapes of face.. This (LARGE) one is large enough to fit comfortably on my big mug. So too small is no good for me, and the medium didn't work for me. I like masks to ride on top of the bridge of my nose. Remember, it doesn't matter as much how good the customer service is, nor how the shipping and packaging are.. WHAT MATTERS IS.. HOW DOES IT FIT!! Fit and size is all that matters here.. Measure your face and look at these photo measurements, and compare.. MEASUREMENT INSIDE THE (LARGE) MASK: (see pictures) Height: 4 1/2" (inches) Width: 3 1/2" (inches) Great Mask.. at a Great Price on Amazon.. (however after all this comparison, i decided to go with this one rather than the 3M 6503QL because it fit a little better and has less detail on the front of it to catch and trap sawdust.) HOW DOES IT FIT.. Check your measurements. I tried several masks and sent back the ones that didn't fit right. (The third party ones "not" purchased from Amazon, i had to pay for shipping and even one from Amazon i had to pay for return shipping.) So buyer beware, try to get the right fit the first time. Also, buy a size up from the one you think. I tried to show photos with measurements to help. This is the mask i feel the most comfortable in. It's a LARGE, which fits up over the bridge of my nose nice and comfortably. 30 yrs of wearing masks and this is the best one ever.

I use this respirator with 2091 particulate filters for woodworking, yard work, leaf cleanup. The respirator does NOT come with any filters so be sure to order them with the mask if you don't already have them on hand. The mask fits well, the large was a good size me because I'm a big guy at 6'1" and 205 pounds with a round face. Its comfortable in temps to 80 degrees, after that, it gets warm. But it's fall in the Northeast and its leaf season which makes for dusty, dirty work and this mask keeps leaf dust, mold and pollen out of my respiratory tract. The material is soft, comfortable, conforms to my face and seals well and the 2091 filters are great for fine dust. I wish the neck strap was about 2 inches longer, it's a bit tight for me fully expanded. Otherwise, this respirator is ideal for my purposes.

It is a genuine product and 6001 and 2097 cartridges fit well. I gave 4 stars because the silicon is very smelly.

I purchased this on recommendation from a prior poster, either here or on another site. I had owned the Medium version, but upgraded to Large on his recommendation. The large fits much more comfortably on my head which tends to run larger sizes of hats (L/XL hats generally) for comparison (and larger head style sunglasses- eg I wear Oakley Antix and Offshoots with comfort and they don't fit large on my head). Bought it to replace the old AOE brand that 3m bought out and I love the comfort. Extremely glad I went with this upper end version over the Big Orange Box store version. Cheapest place to buy this is Amazon and with Prime it's a great deal. Used in conjunction with the pink vapor filters and I'm unable to smell ANY Bondo vapors when using that, and the pink filters all work great for any wood work or demo you might be doing. PROTECT YOUR LUNGS GUYS!!!!! Lastly- to those who hate these because of heat and condensation build up- this mask works great. I hate those things, and it's why I could never and will never use those cheap white paper masks. They heat up my mouth area and gives me that sweaty yuck feeling. This respirator has extremely good air flow exhaust and directs the air down and out so you don't breathe on your work. You really need to try it to understand that even a small amount of slow exhalation will go out through the vent and not become trapped (as was the issue with the old vent flap on my AOE ventilator which was much too rigid to move without a lot of exhaling force). Give it a whirl, you'll be glad you did.
