I have conducted the respirator fit testing for my clinic for the last 4 years. We typically offer 3 styles of N95 respirators to our clinic employees. I have been fit tested on all three and this is by far the most comfortable one to wear. It's comfortable and effective and, unlike some of the hard shell type masks, you can easily "fit check" yourself to see if you have a good seal. I have no problem wearing it with my glasses on. The general public needs to be aware that medical personnel undergo annual respiratory fit testing to make sure they have a good fit and seal. Without this testing, you cannot be sure that the mask is properly fitted to your face, and therefore protective.

I'm going to give it five stars because of how light it is and how easy it is to fit, and because it seems to fulfill its designed use. I have glasses and it does not steam up my glasses and there is no air leaking out around the edges; I also am hardly an expert at fitting these masks but it was clear enough how to do so.

However, I got it because I have allergic rhinitis and asthma and wanted to see if I could screen out pollen on my morning walks and perhaps not be as affected by them. It makes my face uncomfortably hot if worn while exercising, even in winter. So if you want to get one to use during even light exercise you might want to look for something else. I couldn't wear it enough days to even assess if it makes a noticeable difference to my allergies, since I pretty much wanted it only to wear while walking.

It is far more comfortable if worn in a more normal environment without exertion, and I'll save it for bad pollen days when I'm not exercising and see if it makes a difference then.

great product, I like it is a very good mask, plus it looks good, Please check it out you will not be disapointed
