I work in a wood shop. We're constantly making more dust than we can handle in an enclosed space.

I got very tired of buying more dust masks. Not to mention felt incredibly wasteful when I did it.

This mask is comfortable, doesn't fog up my work goggles, and I never need to worry about going through disposables at an alarming rate again.

I got my first Neomask from a local store after I saw a building inspector using one. Typically I use it in the workshop to protect from wood dust and also when cleaning the barbecue. Last weekend, for the first time I used my mask twice in a day.

At first I had to go in the attic to reposition the antenna of my cellular repeater. Walking on the joists on top of the insulation is always tricky, and the fine glass particles are really irritating when not properly protected. Not only the glass dust did not get into my lungs, but I also realized that I was not sweating. My attic is usually very hot, being in California, and with conventional masks/respirators, while moving around and working, it becomes very hot very quickly. This mask is light, and the material did not make me sweat or fog the goggles.

The second job of the day was to go under the house, in the crawl space, to secure cracking flooring boards. I was concerned with the dust as there is very little room down there and I had to crawl with my mouth within a few inches off the ground. Even with the additional and rapid breathing due to the effort, the air flow seemed totally unobstructed, and yet I did not cough once or felt uncomfortable like when breathing small particles.

At one point in time, the furnace kicked in, and as I was very close i tried the earplugs attached to the mask and they performed very well. I could still hear some of the ambient noise, but it was very dampened.

I would recommend this mask to anyone who likes to work around the house, and I know that professionals use it too.

London is a very polluted city and I live right in the middle of this pollution center (one wonders why they decided to have the 2012 Olympics here! bad idea!). Within a month of moving here, I started to notice this nasty cough and runny nose I constantly have whenever I go anywhere outside my door. If it isn't all the smokers who puff like chimneys outside, it's the automobile exhaust, dirt from the running trains and subways, and the heavily perfumed women (and men!) who walk around and cause me to have these coughing fits. I used to come home with a really bad runny nose and have to blow it...the stuff that comes out is completely black and I don't want to gross you out, but you get the picture. I bought this mask because I've finally had enough. I want to be able to actually breath outside without having to worry about developing a respiratory disease by the time I leave this city! This mask is a savior. People might stare at you (especially the kids) when you wear it outside, but what's more important -- your health or the stares of people who don't know that pollution/smoking is killing them? I walk around proudly with this outside. People stare but I smile behind my mask because now I can actually breath without coughing nonstop!

I live in Las Vegas where dust is a constant, however it's the months of March and April that render me practically useless. I also go to school at UNLV (which has one of the highest pollen counts in the Vegas valley) and I would normally go to school with a disposable painter's respirator. Those got funky really quickly, as well as would crush really easily in my backpack. Then my step dad found this as he's a bit of a handyman. This mask is "crushable" and will still keep its form when over your face.

It comes with plenty of replaceable liner filters. And earplugs as you can see. I suppose that would be more for people doing a job with a loud generator for painting or something.

Sure, you look a little weird just walking around outside with this on, but as I always tell people when they ask about it "It's not on you or it's snot on you. Take your pick."

I used this mask to help limit my exposure to airborne pollen when I have to be outdoors around the house doing yard work. I wore it while I cut down tall grass which I am extremely allergic to. It really helped limit my exposure, was comfortable and didn't get in the way nor cause my eyewear to fog up,( other masks tend to pass air up and fog eyewear).

I purchased this mask to use while cutting the lawn and raking leaves. I have one of those leaf vacuums that I tow behind my garden tractor that makes quite a bit of dust. I wore the mask for 4 hours yesterday while cutting grass and vacuuming leaves. The mask worked perfectly. After I was finished and removed the mask I had none of the irritation I usually have with just a paper mask. Temperature was in the mid 60's, and it was comfortable. I'll have to see if that continues when the temperatures get warmer. Ear plugs worked great. The only issue I had was with the nose piece. It took a little adjusting to get it comfortable. I think as I wear the mask more that will not be an issue.

I purchased this mask for evening jogs, when the pollen plays havoc with my allergies. First the good: the filter works well in keeping out unwanted particles, which is the most one can ask for in a mask. Now for the bad, if you are an average American male, the fit is lousy on two counts. One, the head straps are too long, or big, which makes for a lose fit. Two, the face-cup is way too small to cover mouth, nose & chin all at the same time; so unless you have that rare combination of a large head with a very small face, this mask will not fit properly. Another disadvantage, at least in my case, is that the filter-pad is fairly thick, which makes for difficult breathing during heavy physical activities---but I suppose that's the price of blocking out pollen and dust. After two tries, I've stashed this mask in a drawer and went back to wearing a simple bandana. Consider your needs carefully before spending money on this item.

Bought this for my husband to use while mowing the lawn, as he has bad sneezing after doing the lawn. This mask is just right for him. I also bought extra filters for the mask. The mask is comfortable and conforms to the face nicely. Keeps all the alergens out. What a wonderful product!

Excellent Product. Extremely fast shipping. I am very satisfied with the product. I will do business with you in the future!!. 5 star rate. Thanks!!!.

We used this at Burning Man this year and it works well for filtering. The replacement filters that come with it were enough for a week but there was not much dust storm this year of course.

The only complain we have is that the velcro while theoretical nice is a real bad thing when you have to wear the mask around your neck and put it up and down several times a day. It tangles with ones hair and clothes and quick up and down is not possible after 2-3 hours wearing it. Would be much better if it came with some other closure - that was more adjustable for different head sizes too.
