3M Ultimate FX Full Facepiece Reusable Respirator, FF-403, NIOSH, ANSI, Six-Strap Harness for a Secure Comfortable Fit, Cool Flow Valve, Passive Speaking Diaphragm, Large

Update: love the respirator, got it for fine wood dust and it's great, but that was 1 month ago and the price has risen by at least $38, assuming due to Covid-19. I have gotten it to seat a bit better thanks to the many adjustment options which are great. Huge head people will struggle though and 3m says if that's the case you just have to get a forced air respirator. I have found that I use it a lot more than is strictly necessary which I think is an indicator of how good it is.Original: The seals are large and soft and very comfortable. The airflow keeps the area around your eyes cool and the exhaled air is down and there was no fogging. No issues at all with restricting vision. Like others said I wish I didn't waste money on two other masks and two different goggles, this full face seals so much better and is infinitely more comfortable. The others are now in a box and will probably only be used by friends and family if we're working together.Only issue is the L isn't quite big enough for people with big heads. I'm 6'4" 205 lbs but have a large head and while it seals ok it feels just a bit small and I wish they had an XL. Still, unless you have a truly gigantic head this will work and be the best option if you need a respirator and sealed eye protection.

My husband works in asbestos and other hazardous product removal and needed a better quality mask than the one provided at work. After hearing from a co-worker about his recommendation for this mask, we went ahead and purchased it from this seller. He could not have been happier with the purchase. The mask does not fog up and there is a specialized mouthpiece that allows the wearer to be easily heard unlike other masks, which is a huge perk when needing to communicate with others on a job. The mask also came with a product sample of a peel and stick face front cover made with scotch guard technology to protect the outer cover from being scratched. The pros of having the full-face cover is to further protect your face and eyes from being hurt by debris or other objects. My husband feels confident that he is safer around asbestos and other harmful materials at work with this mask. One of the best perks among the added safety is the comfort and secure fit of this mask. The headpiece and straps and comfortable and easily adjustable. My husband used to complain that his masks at work would cut into his skin and cause constriction, especially around the nose and mouth piece, but this mask eliminates that completely! Plus the face mask easily comes apart to clean. Though it was a little pricey, you honestly cannot put a price on your safety! If you want the confidence that you are not inhaling hazardous materials or fumes, the added safety of face and eye wear, to be heard while speaking, complete and clear visibility, and total comfort that is reusable and easy to clean... The 3M Ultimate FX Full Face Piece is worth every penny!!

I am very happy that I purchased this full face respirator. I originally got it to do spray foam insulation, but find I use it for a variety of other tasks as well. Fitted with the correct filters (which are very easy to install), this mask does an amazing job when removing old, dirty, dusty blown-in attic insulation. The first time I wore it, I kept bumping the face shield as it was so clear and gave such a full field-of-view that I kept forgetting I had it on. The 6-point harness adjustments make it easy to fit and seal correctly. After months of use, it still works great. My lungs and eyes are much happier. I am glad I went with 3M, and I only use their filters. Yes, it will take some time to clean, as there are a lot of groves to wipe, but it is well worth it to keep it in top condition and comfortable to wear. I am very pleased with this purchase.

As a truck painter, I am required to use a full face respirator for large parts of the day. I wish I could use supplied air respirators when climbing underneath trucks to paint the chassis or over cabs, the extra hose hoses can be more of a hassle than it is worth. In the past I have used a few different full face respirators. For the last year I have been using a 3M 6800 series full face respirator. While it is effective at doing the job, it is not always the most comfortable to wear for extended periods. After reading the reviews and looking at the 3M web site, I decided to give the 3M Ultimate FX full face respirator a try. Wow I am sure glad I did.I cannot believe how much more comfortable the Ultimate FX is. The rubber part that seals the Ultimate FX around the face is very similar to 6800. While the redesigned head cradle and strap setup make a small difference, the biggest difference is in the noise piece. It just seems to be fit better the silicone material it is made of is way more comfortable than the harder rubber or whatever it is that is found in the 6800 noise piece. I can get a much better seal from the Ultimate FX noise piece with less pressure being transferred onto my face. At times I almost forget the noise piece is even there as it feels like it is barely touching my face even though I can visually see there is a good seal being made.In terms of sizing, I found the Ultimate FX to be sized similar to the 6800. Also the disposable shield covers for the 6800 will work on the Ultimate FX. The 6800 tear offs are slightly smaller than the Ultimate FX tear offs but it is close enough that I can at least use up my remaining 6800 tear offs.Pros+ Comfortable+ Doesn't fog up while being usedCons- None yet
