Honeywell vs Halo Life Mask vs Outdoor Research Essential..
Comfortable, seals well and the disposable filters are effective. Further and unlike lesser masks, Honeywell publishes the specs of the disposable filters in their website. Per Honeywell: "97% of 3-micron-sized non-viable particles and 0.1-micron-sized aerosolized particles".While the Honeywell mask won't replace a '95' medical grade mask from trustworthy companies such as 3M, it comes close and is leaps and bounds more effective than most other non-medical, every-day covid masks. More cost effective than medical grade masks too.Airflow with the Honeywell is very good compared to most other masks I've used, especially layered cotton masks. The design of the mask keeps the mask away from mouth and nostrils even when breathing heavily. All of the cotton masks I've used collapse fairly easily. This results in the masks being sucked into mouth and nostrils.I also have a Halo Life Face Mask and Outdoor Research Essential mask. Both are definitely a step above other masks I've used but have significant failings that keep them from being as good as the Honeywell mask.The Halo filters are fragile and difficult to replace in the interior pocket without the filter bunching and/or tearing. I found the Halo mask too clingy as well. While Honeywell and Outdoor Research reasonably advertise that their disposable filters should be replaced daily, Halo advertises that their disposable filters have a 200 hour life. Perhaps they do without a human breathing through them and in a laboratory environment for dry particulate matter like dust. Imagine 200 hours of continuous use (8+ days, 24/7) - moisture from respiration, the smells from food consumption, burps, accidental sneezes, coughing, environmental smells, etc. Sorry Halo but to my simple way of thinking about this, a 200 hour rating for your disposable filters stretches the bounds of credibility. You'll have to provide more data for this claim to be understood.The Outdoor Research Essential mask is likewise a step above most masks I've used, seals well and is comfortable. Airflow is good, it doesn't get sucked into nostrils or the mouth. My only annoyance is the disposable filter. It tends to bunch/shift when removing the mask which results in regularly having to re-align the filter in the mask before putting it back on. Unlike the Honeywell mask, the Outdoor Research disposable filters slide into loose pockets vs the tightly fitting, elastic and durable straps of the Honeywell.In comparison, the Honeywell filter does not have to be carefully and tediously inserted or maintained. The disposable filter has two 'ears' that are easily tucked into tightly fitting elastic straps on each side of the mask. This helps keep the filter and mask aligned and in place all day. The straps that hold the filter in place are marked left and right as are the filters. The Honeywell filter marking is hard to see so care will have to be taken to insert the right and left ears into the right and left mask straps. The straps securely retain the filter and keep it from moving around as much as the Outdoor Research mask.The final selling point for me is that Honeywell is an American company (now owned by Allied Signal) with a long history of engineering filtration, respiration and other safety products. I don't know where the country of origin is for the filters but if not in the US, they are almost certainly manufactured with heavy oversight and quality control from Honeywell. In addition, each mask filter is individually sealed in a protective wrapper.My only gripe and barely worth mentioning is the seam on one of the three I own has started to unravel slightly. It's barely noticeable and doesn't affect form, fit or function. My other two Honeywell masks are still in like-new condition and all have been machine washed many times. Machine washing hasn't resulted in noticeable shrinkage or observable wear. I wash in warm water, gentle cycle and without anything else in the washer. I wash them alone to protect them from abrasive wear from things like jeans. Air drying is the best option not only for shrinkage protection but also for potential tumble wear. They air dry very quickly.These are durable, well designed masks and likely to last indefinitely. After the covid situation settles down (if it does) I will continue using this mask for non-covid activities like sanding and dusty yard work. I used to use more expensive 3M N95's for these things but the Honeywell mask is more cost effective and protects almost as well.The Honeywell mask is best of breed in my somewhat limited experience. If you do not have access to high quality and disposable '95' masks from trustworthy companies, this is a very solid alternative. Very satisfied and repeat customer. Nice work Honeywell.

Comfortable and good looking
I have been using these for 3 years. At this point in 2023 in US, the occasions for wearing masks are limited for sure. But I still wear masks during international travels and wearing these for a long flights have been comfortable and gives me a sense of relief with using the filters.

By far the best-fitting XL facemask I've tried in the past 11 months
I've tried at least 8 different mask designs (including homemade pleated and KN95/N95), but all were ultimately too small for me to wear while trying to speak--they would either ride up over my chin or slip down off of my nose. I don't know whether I have an especially long face or the other designs just don't take speaking into account, but there it is. And yes, I tried the masks that are 5.5" inches high--the Honeywell is at least 6" high.This Honeywell mask doesn't slip off in either direction, has a full-cut design (almost back to my sideburns), enough stiffness to the structure to not press against my lips, and the generously-long behind the ear elastic straps are both adjustable enough for comfortable use by themselves and long enough for use with a back-of-head clip or strap extender (for longer wearing scenarios).With the Honeywell filter installed (not N95 or KN95 certified, but tested by Honeywell to filter out 98% of all small particles, including aerosols) and with the close fit around the nose, cheeks, jawline, and throat, I'm more confident in the protection supplied by this mask in real-world scenarios than I am by my 3M N95 or Chinese KN95 masks. Yes, I'm trusting Honeywell's representation of the efficacy of the replaceable filter, but I'm much more confident in them than I am in the Chinese manufacturers (the KN95s have proven to be widely variable in their filtering efficacy in NIOSH tests). The replaceable filter material looks to me to have the same materials and layers as the KN95 masks, for what that's worth.The only downside of this mask when compared to the best of the others is that the interior is slightly scratchy. If I'm going to be sitting outside at 6’+ for a lengthy visit, I may still use my size large Space Mask (it's quite soft on the inside, and is the most comfortable mask I've tried), but I'd still have my Honeywell with me (in case I ended up doing more talking than listening, and get tired of pulling the Space Mask back up over my nose).

Fits well and the filters don't flail about
Hell if I know if the filter actually does anything, but assuming it does the mask fits well and is comfortable. I often have some issues with finding masks big enough for my face, had no issue with this one. Adjustable straps with plenty of room to spare. The metal bit sits fairly high on the nose so it's comfortable but not so high you see the mask starting to creep into your line of sight as you walk. I wear glasses and there is no mask that simply straight up never causes fogging but this one is better than most, I wasn't constantly adjusting every couple of minutes as I noticed I was going blind. And seriously, most of the time I am. You can barely tell the filter is in but it does seem to stay in place rather nicely, and everything came as advertised. Filters are in these like... I don't know how to describe it... Medical type storage bags? Seemed a bit much to be honest. And again, I have no clue if these filters actually work. But Honeywell isn't some fly-by-night Chinese company stuffing their 'super medical military grade 26x lining!' with shredded magazine covers so I'm more confident in theirs serving a purpose than most.It's a bit pricey for a single mask but it really is the nicest I've seen. I got this for the airport where a lot of the 'cool' ones are not allowed because they aren't actually functional, and I don't expect to have any issues.

Cómodos pero no completamente sellados.
La mascarilla es de buen material, es bastante elástico, se ajusta a la forma de mi cara, son comodos, los filtros son de un solo uso y vienen en dos bolsas de 4 con empaques individuales y especifican que no están recomendados para COVID además los filtros son delgados como para hacer ejercicio en un lugar abierto y con poco flujo de gente, me gustó que trae explicado en la bolsa todos los detalles y además trae un instructivo. Lo único que no me gustó es que no es totalmente sellado en la parte mas oscura del frente trae los respiraderos.

Está un poco grande, pero funciona bien
Yo lo compré y me ha funcionado muy bien con los filtros, sin embargo, no he encotrado en donde los venden para tener más repuestos. Creo que en temas de protección es muy bueno y resistente, porque lo he lavado varias veces y sigue en buenas condiciones.Un problema que yo encontré es que es demasiado grande para mi cara, lo puedo ajustar de cierta manera con el clip que trae para la nariz, pero aún así se ve grande para mi cara. A lo mejor si tienes cara pequeñ podrías intentar con la versión de niñas/niños.

Cómodo y funcional
El cubrebocas es muy cómodo, pero considero que está ligeramente más grande y no sella bien. Además, es relativamente caro para ser un cubrebocas de tela y tener 8 filtros que sólo se utilizan una vez. Es buena opción cuando se utiliza con un cubrebocas quirúrgico.

Mejor que N95
Es un buen producto, la calidad es excelente y aunque son de los pocos que no siquiera deja pasar olores. Incluso en comparacion con los N95, este se siente mucho mas seguro. El unico detalle es que si llega a cansar un poco, una vez que se usa por varias horas seguidas. En resumen, estoy contento con el producto y es recomendable en estos tiempos de pandemia

Un poco grande y complicado con lentes
Está un poco grande y con el uso de lentes es complicado usar, pero el material y es bueno y la manera de cambiar los filtros lo hacen un producto bueno a secas.
