The lightweight construction and adjustable head straps help you achieve a comfortable fit.

      Can this mask be used when cleaning mice poop? Does it protect against the dust that gets kicked up while cleaning?

      yes, the filter is applicable for dust, chemical, bacteria/viruses and can be used to clean up light/moderately effected areas as heavily effected areas need a full face mask. may need protective eyewear with this model depending on severity.

            Good quality and fit. The low profile filters fit under a welding helmet. It’s a good setup for the price. Easy to find replacement filters when needed.

            Works well, more comfortable than some other models. Not heavy and cumbersome.

            This respirator has come in handy during the remodel of an older mobile home. The respirator has a clasp that is easy to use that goes around the back of your neck. It is easy to both clasp and unclasp with your hands behind you head. I was leery of the head piece that basically sits on top of your scalp. It is made of two plastic bands that keep the respirator firmly on your face. The plastic bands - attached to elastic - are not uncomfortable. This was important to me since I am a little sparse with hair in the area the respirator band sits. The cartridges attach firmly and twist until they lock. Even when bumping the respirator the cartridges stay firmly attached. Be aware that your face will sweat under the mask. The exhale valve is very responsive whether you are breathing heavy or lightly. Overall, this is a very good product.

              This is a good basic respirator. I used it in crawlspace for cleaning and removing insulation. Would definitely recommend for the price
