Envo Pro Respirator Kit including Headgear, 3 Individually Packaged Filters, Storage Case for Provided Accessories

I purchased this mask as a COVID precaution that I wanted to take on an extended, overnight train ride. The ride was two way, 13 hours in each direction, and I am very satisfied with the experience wearing and sleeping in this mask.The Pros:• This mask is extremely comfortable for extended wear. The gel is soft and doesn't eat lines into the skin of your face. You can sense with your skin when the seal is solid or not. A fit test showed no airflow/leakage around the seal.• Surprising breathability through the filter! I had no issue with excess moisture or condensation, though there wasn't a big temperature discrepancy between the inside or outside of the mask.• This might be a con for some, but another pro for me was the little bit of a challenge to install the filter into the respirator frame. That just means it's sealed in the frame solidly, and I appreciate that. However, it means really getting in there with your fingers to remove the filter, and if it's contaminated, you need to take the extra steps to keep clean and protect yourself.• I did not contract COVID from this aforementioned risky train ride. There is no way to know for certain if there was actually someone with an acute infection in the packed train car, but there was a lot of coughing going on—regardless I felt safe and confident in this product.The Cons:• My face is just barely large enough to fit in this mask with a solid seal. It's definitely designed for medium and larger adults, especially men.• The top/ridge above the nose blocks the lower-center half of your view to a much greater degree than a disposable N95. If you want to look down at your phone, you need to hold it to the left or right of your face and look at it with one eye. Or hold the phone higher and bow your head. Could be annoying to some, or irritate one's neck, shoulders, eyes, or something else.• For the price I think the strap should be more solid. It does come with an extra spare, but I'd rather have one sturdy strap. Reading other people's reviews, I am treating the strap gently from the get go to extend its life the most, and so far I don't see any wear and tear.• Though it's comfortable, I think the design of the strap could be improved with two more spots to cinch the strap. There's only a single clip at the back of the neck, which unfortunately allows the mask to slide up and down the parts of the strap that descending from the crown of the head. There should be smaller clips just below the bottom loops of the mask (through which you string the strap). This would allow the wearer to adjust the length of the strap that sits above the ear, and adjust how high the mask sits on the face. Would be more convenient and comfortable for those with a smaller face. I am looking for my own clips to add to the strap, but can't find anything small enough yet.Overall I am glad that I invested in this higher quality mask, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is COVID conscious and/or lives with someone who is vulnerable to disease.

Likes:• Pretty comfortable when wearing for longer periods in my home workshop• Great filtration for small particles when cutting MDF and other wood• Gel creates a good seal, even with facial hair• Hard-shell case offers great protection for storing this respirator• Ability to replace just the filtration media by itself is nice• Seal does a pretty decent job of keeping my glasses from fogging upDislikes:• Gel traps heat over time, so wearing can be a bit sweaty at times• Assembly is a bit finicky, but fortunately that only needs to be done occasionally (depending upon wear)• Long-term durability is a bit questionable given how flimsy the frame feelsOverall, while a bit expensive, the positive features of this respirator make it a welcome addition to my home workshop.

I really wanted to love this mask, and there are some things about it that are, well, lovable. But there are also some things about it that are, sadly, unlovable.PROS: Great seal! I didn’t fit test this, but the seal was excellent on me compared to an Aura. The gel creates an excellent contour to the face when wearing the mask as directed. The N99 filters were very breathable for me with the valve. I also bought some N95 filters and they were probably on par with the Aura. The space in front of the mouth and nose was nice - I didn’t feel like I was suffocating or eating the mask. 😅CONS: This mask is huge. Maybe a 2/3 face mask. I have gotten fairly tolerant of the typical mask irritations, and I wore this for 4 hours the day I got it hoping I would get used it, but the neck strap was very irritating to my skin and the top of the mask obstructed my view. I tried moving the neck strap up on top of my head for a while, but it broke the seal around the bridge of the nose - no go. And there was no solution for the vision obstruction. My glasses rest on top/behind the gel where it curves around to meet my cheeks. That help my glasses in place, which was good, but I simply couldn’t get used to not being able to see a significant amount of my lower periphery.I’m going to clean it up and see if it works for my husband, who has a much larger head than me, and then update the review.TLDR: Great seal, comfy gel, hard to see over, irritating neck strap.

I wore it on my cross country flight and I didn't get sick, which generally happens to me. Also, it was comfortable wearing it that length of time.

This is not worth the cost. The disposable n95 masks are much more comfortable and breathable. This mask is heavy and causes you to sweat around the face contact points. Just not worth it.

It works

I recently tried the Envo Pro respirator. I was looking for a reusable face mask that would be comfortable to wear while traveling. I chose the Envo Pro because I liked the look of the silicone seal and the fact that it's reusable. When I received the mask, I was pleasantly surprised that it was even more comfortable than I expected. I tried the N99 filters and found that they didn't make breathing any harder than a disposable mask. However, the Envo Pro was a bit small for my large face, and the silicone seal made it difficult to wear glasses with the mask.
