GVS SPR501 Elipse Mask with P3 filters, M/L

I used this mask whist cutting insulation board and some treated wood whilst insulating out a garage workshop . It was during some of the hottest weather of the year and the mask provided me with good protection without causing too much discomfort. Only issue I had was the steaming up of the goggles when wearing with reading glasses underneath . However I think this was more of an issue with the goggles than the mask. I found that when I used the measurements guide I came up as border small however the small was not an available so took a chance on the medium . I do have a very flat nose bridge which is something to take into consideration and I feel it does affect the seal but only slightly. Thats my only grumble really . Otherwise Im very very happy with the quality , fit and wearability of it . It was worn for a long time over a period of a feed days and didn’t irritate my face anywhere. One good feature I did like and though was worth a mention is the silicone like band with raised texted on the strap that goes on the back of the head , it makes such a difference in keeping to straps in situ .

A really, really good mask! 😷 I’ve had similar that I’ve had to through after use, but this is a game changer for me as it fits really well and after a day’s grinding paint off steel, I had nothing in my nostrils, as it has a very effective seal and straps. A full day with just the filters that came with it too. I still have the refills for the next big job in hand. This mask has become a must for me and my safety in future. 10/10

Its a good mask i use it for woodworking and it seem to do a good job and its comfortable as well

18 month update: This mask is still working well after a lot of use. I mainly use it around fine dust particles but also with spray painting. I have had no problems and it works as well today as it did on day one. Good to know some things are built to last. Original Review: A slightly mixed review here. My mask fits me very well and has worked well for me when painting and working with fumes. I have tested the suction by covering the front of the mask and it sits nicely against my face and is actually a great buy for me. However.... My adult daughter used this while painting and we couldn't get the fit right. There were gaps at the top which allowed fumes in. So although it is 5 stars for my particular fit, it might not be for everyone.

Fantastic lightweight & compact mask. Doesn't obscure your vision and - compared to other respirators, isn't going to get knocked if you're turning your head in tight or confined spaces. Glass wearers : This is also the first mask that I've come across (not that I've tried all of them out there!) that provides a really good seal around the nose and doesn't fog up your glasses when you breathe out. If you're drilling, cutting, sanding or mixing then this respirator is perfect for keeping out even the finest dust and powder particles that you'll likely come across. However, please note that this respirator is ONLY for dust/powder particles. It does NOT keep out vapours or odours of any kind. So, if you're paint spraying, near fumes or just simply work with a colleague who suffers from a flatulence problem, then you'll need the SPR503, SPR491 or SPR496 for vapours and gases. As mentioned, this mask provides a really good seal, but make sure you're aware of the two sizes available : Small/Medium or Medium/Large. Unlike another reviewer's review, the diameter of your head is irrelevant to the size of mask you'll need (that's what the adjustable straps are for). The key measurement for choosing your correct size is the distance from the bridge of your nose to the point of your chin [check the size chart in the description above]. Having said that, my nose to chin measurement is 120mm - as per the chart, I bought the S/M size but found it too small as my chin would pop out whenever I mimed to a song on the radio or secretly poked my tongue out at people. The two different size masks differ by approx 10mm in height and 10mm in width. The Medium/Large has a slightly different seal design around the chin area - with a hard rubber crease (actually less snug than the S/M which has a soft curve seal along the chin) but is a far better fit for me overall. Recommended.

According to my boyfriend at the time this was a good value for money, he's very happy.

We're professional bathroom installers and use these masks all the time. They're comfortable with excellent protection preventing us from breathing in all dust. The filters can be cleaned and so they last along time. We replace the filters every few jobs to be safe.

I am a carpenter and use this dust mask for a number of jobs in the workshop where fine airborne dust is a problem, such as sanding, sawing and routing. I have a ducted dust extraction system in my shop but there is always that dangerous fine airborne dust to deal with. I have tried several masks with replaceable filters and this is by far the most comfortable and offers me a good experience, when I am wearing it with safety glasses and ear defenders. It does not cause my safety glasses to mist up, a problem with many other masks and is comfortable to wear for long periods. The two straps one over the head that sits on your neck and the other over your head, or cap is adjustable and does not cause any problems. The mask provides a good flow of cool air. It is easy to change the filters. It offers excellent protection when emptying the dust and chip extractor as each time dust is moved it releases airborne particles, no matter how careful one is. My partner borrowed my mask one time she was emptying the wood burner of ash, previously using the white proprietary dust decorating masks and liked it so much I bought one for her too. So we like these a lot and can recommend them to other users.

No problems with prolonged wear. Filters dust as expected. Haven't had to replace the filters yet, but I like that there are replacements available.

Bardzo solidnie wykonana, warto ją kupić.

Excelente! Muy práctica . Ayuda muchísimo para evitar aspirar el polvo

This is a great product. Works well!

Ich habe lange nach einer guten Schutzmaske für Schweißarbeiten gesucht. Die Maske muss hierfür zuverlässig filtern und gleichzeitig sehr kompakt sein, um unter den Schweißhelm zu passen und beim Arbeiten nicht zu stören. Beides erfüllt die Elipse SPR501 perfekt. Die Maske sitzt sehr sicher und dichtet gut ab. Hier kommt keine Luft an den Maskenrändern vorbei, wie das häufig bei normalen Papiermasken der Fall ist. Die Filterfunktion ist also deutlich besser als bei den typischen Einwegmasken. Gleichzeitig wird die Atmung beim Tragen kaum behindert, was durch die beiden relativ großflächigen Filter erreicht wird. Für Brillenträger ist die Maske vor allem ideal, da durch das Auslassventil verhindert wird, dass die Brille beschlägt. Wer schon mal eine Einwegmaske in Verbindung mit einer Brille verwendet hat, der kann hiervon ein Lied singen. Die Form der Maske passt hervorragend, so dass sie sauber auf dem Gesicht sitzt und nicht drückt. Die breiten Bänder gewährleisten einen sicheren Halt und verteilen gleichzeitig den Druck sauber auf dem Hinterkopf, so dass hier auch bei längerer Benutzung keine Probleme entstehen. Dank der extrem kompakten Form passt die Maske auch sehr gut unter den Schweißhelm und stört hier kaum mehr als eine klassische Einwegmaske. Ich habe bislang keine andere Maske gefunden, die besser unter einen Schweißhelm passt (Einwegmasken ausgenommen). Auch wenn die Maske aus Kunststoff ist, riecht sie nur sehr leicht nach Chemie. Der Geruch ist nach ein paar Tagen auch nahezu komplett verflogen. Beim Tragen hat man also keine größeren Probleme durch chemische Gerüche. Erfreulich ist auch, dass die Maske über saubere Kennzeichnungen (CE, EN, usw) verfügt. Hier hat man das gute Gefühl, dass das Produkt auch die nötigen Standards erfüllt. Achtung: Was jeder beachten sollte ist, dass die Maske standardmäßig mit P3 Filtern, also Partikelfiltern, ausgestattet ist. Wer die Maske zum Schweißen verwendet muss sich also bewusst sein, dass hier zwar der Ruß aus dem Schweißrauch gefiltert wird, nicht aber die giftigen Dämpfe, die vor allem beim Elektrode- oder Fülldrahtschweißen entstehen. Wer diese beiden Schweißverfahren nutzt für den gilt weiterhin die goldene Regel, entweder im Freien schweißen oder eine Absaugung nutzen. Nur diese Maske reicht bei Elektrode oder Fülldraht definitiv nicht. Fazit: Kompakt, funktional und bequem, die ideale Maske zum Schweißen. Ganz klare Empfehlung.
