Title: Uncomfortable, unreliable fit, and foul odor
Product review: I bought these masks to wear during various dusty chores around the home, but after wearing them on several occasions over the course of a few weeks, I'm throwing the rest away. It is hard to get them to fit all the way around, especially around the nose, even with the adjustable metal nose band. So they are not only uncomfortable, they don't fit well enough to be a reliable filter. Furthermore, they smell really bad out-of-the-box. When I put on a new one, all I can smell is a foul chemical odor, and it doesn't go away. If I HAD to live with it because of dangerous work-place particles, I suppose I would, but there has got to be a more pleasant, better-fitting respirator mask out there. When I found myself making excuses not to wear this one, I realized it was time to look for alternatives.
