BASE CAMP M Plus Dust Mask, Breathable Reusable Face Mask with 6 Activated Carbon Filters for Woodworking Construction Mowing Grinding (Modern1)

LOVE THIS MASK! This mask is the new version that replaces the one Basecamp sold prior to 2020. I had picked up the original style for mowing the yard (pollen allergies). It was perfect when the pandemic started. However soon after things escalated you could not longer get these masks nor the authentic basecamp filters. I had enough to make it through till this new style was available. I was so pleased with original mask that I bought this new version as soon as saw it was available. I have recommended it to many co-workers. I have to wear a mask at work when around others. I have worn it for hours on end and it remains comfortable the whole time and causes ZERO sore spots. I have even worn it to the junkyard for emergency parts pulling and it was not too hot. The adjustable bendable nose piece allows you to get a good seal. I have even perfected wearing glasses without fogging them up! :) This mask is breathable and does not trap alot of heat. Yes you still get a bit of humidity build up, but its a negligible. The vents do their job perfect. [I would recommend that if you are ever around anyone who is super high risk that you might get those cheap thin surgery masks to layer over the vents to offer them better protection, (like my 105 year old Grams)] This mask is a great fit and does not slide about like many of the other masks. It offers ear loops & an adjustable strap that goes around to the back of your head. This mask is unique in that way and allows a ton of adjustability. Once you get it fitted you do not have to fiddle with it at all! :) My only issue is that I have a small head. ( 6 & 3/4 hat size.) I wear youth hats. Any adjustable adult hat always covers my ears & the one size fits all falls off if I turn my head fast. LOL. So I made alterations to the mask to make it a wee bit smaller when I got it. Please check out my pictures to see how it did it. Before I would have the mask fitted to my face and wrap the head strap, but the Velcro would overlap so far it would not adhere. With my adjustment I get a perfect line up with the Velcro now. I am very pleased with the mask and highly recommend them. I bought one for me, my mother and 105 year old Grandmother. Everyone is super excited with their mask! Thank you BaseCamp!

I got the BASE CAMP M Plus Dust Mask mainly for cleaning days at home, to avoid breathing in the smell of Clorox and other cleaning liquids—and it’s been amazing. The difference was noticeable right away: I can clean for a long time without that harsh chemical smell bothering me. The mask fits securely but still feels comfortable and breathable. The adjustable straps and nose clip help it stay perfectly in place while I move around. I also appreciate that it comes with 6 activated carbon filters, which makes it last a long time and keeps the air feeling fresh. It’s well made, easy to wear, and truly effective for blocking odors and dust. ⭐ Honest opinion: Super useful and comfortable for cleaning, dusting, or any task where you want to avoid strong smells. Totally worth it!

The size and fitting is probably the only possible issue here. "One size fits all" is not true for this product. There's no option to buy various sizes and they don't accept returns if the product has been opened. The buyer needs to be aware of that. Read the fine print. The materials and construction are fine. The Velcro strap around the neck is a good idea to keep the fit tight around your nose and mouth. The ear "loops" fit relatively loose, so your ears won't look wonky. This does "tuck" under by chin. The overall seal is pretty good. While I wouldn't want to wear them for long periods (hours) at a time, these are not uncomfortable. (Though comfort is sure to be a subjective thing.) When you speak with this on, your voice is considerably muffled, and you will need to speak louder. As for the "nose piece" keeping your glasses from fogging up, good luck with that, though they are better at that than the cheaper masks you can buy. Chances are you won't get that tight a fit in the nose/cheek area. It occurred to me that if your breath can get out of the mask (to fog your glasses) then the outside air can also be inhaled through the same gap. Just saying ... Still better than the cheap disposable masks most people wear. If you are wearing this for pollen (allergies), depending on how long you are outdoors wearing this (and how long your allergy season is), the replaceable filter is supposed to last 50-60 hours of use. For the average person doing occasional yard work, walking the dog, or pushing your grandchild in a stroller around the block this should meet your needs and not need to be replaced for a considerable time. I wish that info was included with the product information. If you are doing industrial- type work regularly the filters won't last as long as they do for allergies. I wear mine for seasonal allergies. I live in one of the top 10 cities in the states for allergies. On moderately high, high and severe pollen alert days this mask will help. I am currently on an antibiotic and steroids, trying to avoid bronchitis. Looking la bit like Darth Vader is less daunting than dealing with constant drainage, runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing and a chronic cough. I've not had this mask long, (a few days), if I don't note an improvement, I'll be back to edit this. Some options in colors might be nice. Something other than or besides black. Fortunately, after Covid, most people don't seem to stare at people's masks anymore, but this one does stand out more than most.

Good product
