Full Face Organic Vapor, Chemical, & Particulate Respirator - Gas Masks Survival Nuclear and Chemical with 40mm Activated Carbon Filter - 1 Year Manufacturer Warranty

The mask comes in a plain white box with no instructions. There is a label on the cartridge stating what chemical agents it guards against. Hopefully I'll never need to find out the effectiveness of the "nuclear and chemical" protection, but the mask is configurable to take a variety of different cartridges so it can be used for more mundane events as well, like painting.The mask easily sealed tight against my face, even with my beard. The shield is very clear with minimal distortion. The straps tighten and loosen easily.

Not sure which is bad, the filter or the seal but the smell of things still came through in the mask a little.

Perhaps I'm the least intelligent of the reviewers here, but I'm having a hard time putting this mask on. There are four tightening points, and each has a "button" like securement, as well as a strap that can be pulled through for tightening. However, neither of these can be fastened with any kind of quickness, especially since I've got to hold the mask up with one hand, and use the other to fasten these connections, which is time-consuming even when I am using two hands, balancing the mask on a surface, and can see everything in front of me (i.e. not putting it on my face). The button mechanisms require that the silicone "hole" stretches and wraps all the way around the "nub", which requires careful use of two (or three) hands. The straps, on the other hand, need to be shoved through the metal clip, which is at a very awkward angle when oriented against your face, and requires a mirror, patience, and forcefulness to get through.So perhaps if I'm working on a project with plenty of prep time, sure, this will eventually work. But for a true emergency, this isn't the device, at least for those with a room temperature IQ like myself. For comparison, my 3M Rugged Comfort 6500 series respirator has latches that, once pre-tightened to the appropriate level, hook and snap together near the neck area, which can be easily done in 10 seconds or less, even with work gloves on.The mask itself uses a durable, flexible silicone, and the included spare filters are really helpful. There are valves that can be used with other types of respirators.But the lack of any type of instructions or packing material, coupled with the painstakingly difficult time putting this on, means that when the nukes get dropped, a simpleton like me will be found laying on the ground holding this thing, with a final expression of frustration on my face.

This is good general purpose full face mask. While it has a 40mm canister connection the letters on it mean something. The canister this comes with is a PA-2. P means particulates. A means organic vapors. 2 means medium efficiency (5000ppm). Notice the absence of N for nuclear, B for biological, C for chemical and R for radiological. They did not send you a nuclear/chemical survival canister. It is completely misleading to suggest "Gas Masks Survival Nuclear and Chemical" as the title does. Also those NBCR cannisters should come vacuum sealed in a mylar pouch with a stated shelf life not in a loosely sealed thin clear bag like this one. If you seriously wanted an NBCR type mask spend the money on a real one not this low cost made in China one.The P100 filters they supplied look like 3M P100 clones but have no manufacturer listed and simply come in generic sandwich bags. The two I got in 12/2023 were manufactured 11/2021. If you follow 3M guidelines, 2 of the 5 year shelf life of the filter expired before I got it, probably more due to the sandwich bag packaging.The box mine arrived in was for a completely different full face mask product that is supposed to come with two side cartridges so there were basically no usable instructions other than the guidance to turn clockwise to attach and counter clockwise to remove the side pieces. It's a little weird if you have never done it before because on one side the cartridge would start downward and rotate clockwise to face behind and on the other side you need to start with cartridge facing upward to rotate clockwise to facing behind you, so not having good instructions for a new face mask user is problematic. The pictures in the ad are correct for what you get. Additionally on this one you need to pull the top straps tight until the face mask sucks inward a little every time you breath in.Another important fact to know about this is that when you get it all the air inlets into the mask are sealed with a cap. Only the exhalation valve is open. Make sure you unscrew one before you try it on. I realized it when looking at it on first glance, but this is another place where directions would have been nice for a first time user.Conforming fit in the front prohibits the wearing of glasses with this mask if that's an issue for you.This is a cheap mask for a couple times a year around the house things like woodworking dust or fertilizing or VOC gases like you get from painting or welding.Overall, it's full functional if you already know how to use it.. I found the fit to be good and I prefer the way a full face mask puts pressure on your face, for example on your forehead instead of your nose. The full face shield is helpful as your safely glasses as well. I don't mind the clone filters for the things I am doing which are more nuisance level but would definitely get ones from a reputable manufacturer for something like virus protection. For household stuff, you can generally smell whether they are working or not.It was expecting this to be made in China no name stuff but I have to remove one star due the complete lack of directions for a new user and it coming in the wrong box with wrong directions on the box (listing is correct though). At first I though they sent me the wrong stuff and had to refer back to the listing to see if I got the right stuff because of the box. I also have to remove one star because the title emphasizes "Gas Masks Survival Nuclear and Chemical " and that's straight up misleading as explained above.

This full-face mask will be used for chemical paint and fine sanding. It arrived okay and not well packaged. It does come with a extra thin screen, more like a screen protector. You can't use the extra screen as a full replacement as it too thin compared to the actual screen it on. Does come with some ear plugs and extra set of 4 pink filters. The fitment is good as I have a normal size face, not a large round face.

The quality of this mask is outstanding, offering robust protection against various hazards. Even when worn for extended periods during work, it remains surprisingly comfortable without any significant discomfort. The 40mm activated carbon filter provides effective filtration, and the 1-year manufacturer warranty adds to the assurance of its reliability.

I'm not prepper, but I'm no fool. This is a great survival respirator for any dark days ahead. I rather be ready than deady.

I have a small size according to NBC mask and this one fits me perfectly. I’m trying to see if they make a bigger one for someone else. But this one is perfect for smaller faces. It’s a bit too big for a lil kid since the seal it’s not great for tiny faces.
