I'll be sticking with my 3M.

I would give that a pass, I don't like the idea of the nose clip.

looks like a torture device. It would drive me crazy having to be in and out through my mouth. When I really need it I use a forced air face mask Otherwise just a regular mask.

I can see if you have a beard that would compromise the seal of a mask. The ones I really like.

Contrary to what has been said, I'm not a mouth breather. I'll stick with the usual stuff.

A lesson from my Triton. They quit making it and replacement filters are not available. So, I guess 3M is more likely to stay in business.

Just because you can does not mean you should. -- looks like a bad joke to me. $.02

Why not run a garden hose all the way out the shop window!?

Well I AM a mouth-breather (my nose allows just enough air flow to smell but not enough to keep me alive) and even I would prefer a mask to this. The reason is that I wouldn't want to have to keep my lips sealed around the mouthpiece if I didn't have to, that seems like my lips/cheeks would get tired and I'd be a drooley mess.

Wendy, the most comfortable one I've used. https://www.amazon.com/3M-Facepiece-Respirator-Respiratory-Protection/dp/B00AR63G12
One of the reasons I quit my last cabinet shop job was the time I had to spend with a mask on. May as well work in a mine and get the hazard pay.
Money spent on clean shop air is easily recouped in reduced healthcare costs too.

Not to worry Bryan, we're all on the inevitable path to becoming a tired drooley mess.

Dave, that is exactly what I am using. I hate being in a mask! And I have never found one that really fits my face, doesn't push my glasses into my eyebrows, or fogs them. I think I have tried every single one out there. Oh well, just thought I would ask. Guess I got my answer. Thanks all.

Seems you have the wrong size and/or it is not adjusted properly -- I use the 3M with the particle filters for sanding mainly because it prevents fogging my glasses.
