3MP95/OV Paint Project Reusable Respirator 6211, Medium Size, NIOSH-APPROVED Organic Vapor Cartridge & P95 Rated Filters, Lightweight, Flexible, Thermoplastic Faceseal For Comfort (6211P1-DC)

Haven't used it yet but I did try it on and the medium size seems a bit too large for me. I had another brand that fit a little bit better. This one seals but you have to get the fittings tighter than I like so next time I may try a small size.

3m always quality merchandise

High quality and great fit

Good product

This mask is as described and pictured. It is comfortable and adjusts easily to fit nicely.

Fits great works well and very durable. Only problem was the filter was a bit of a hassle to install. Easy to breathe in, and better than breathing in spray paint fumes.

Amazon Review 3M Tekk Protection 6211 Paint Project Respirator4 ½ stars- I bought this product specifically for its ability to block organic vapors in the 3M Hi-Tack 76 Spray Adhesive. It was an unqualified success in keeping those vapors out of my respiratory system. The one time I felt encumbered by it and removed it to do some detail work a nose length's distance from the project (inside a vehicle), I paid for it by spending a few hours the remainder of the day trying to clear my upper bronchial area and throat.The respirator comes with 4 huge foldout pamphlets.1 for the Organic Vapor Cartridge1 for the Particulate Filter1 for the respirator body1 outlining the protections provided for 38 configurations of various respirator components.Moreover, the user is directed to read and fully understand all of these instructions before proceeding AND before occupational use, a written respiratory protection program must be implemented meeting various government requirements! Some heavy duty stuff! Leads me to believe I bought the right one!Assembling the respirator was otherwise fairly intuitive except for 1 small detail. Although it is probably stated somewhere, 4 particulate filters are included. They are compactly pressed inside their respective holders that snap on to the OV Cartridge. At a brief glance, it looked like the particulate filter housing just needed to be snapped onto the OVC and we would be ready to rock. One side kept popping off and found that each PF housing had 2 filters in it. Nowhere in the volume of instructional material does is mention to separate the PF filters, making sure to install only one per side. I believe the only place where 4 PF filters might be mentioned is in the description on the product before ordering. Also not mentioned (at least not in an obvious manner) is whether or not the respirator can be used without the PF filters. I presume it can because there is no warning cautioning against it.Although the snaps and straps looked like they would be a rat's nest, they absolutely were not. One set fits over the back of the head and the other easily snaps together behind the neck. The one behind the neck has a fastener that makes it very easy to attach just by feel. I think the mask is extremely comfortable for the protection it provides.The Organic Vapor cartridge is dated. The one I received had a use before date of 1/20/2016. It is not clear if that date is good only as long as it remains in the sealed package. Useful life is likely shortened after initial use, but I don't know yet by how much. So far, I needed it only for this project and has only about a total of 1/2 hour exposure to organic vapors.The straps did not interfere with a pair of safety glasses that I used over a pair of very low profile readers from costco.I dinged the rating only for the inexplicable irony of the lack of direction on how to deal with those particulate filters and lack of ease in gauging the life of the Organic Vapor cartridge(s).

3M has always been a quality product. I enjoy DIYs but always suffer from getting headaches when I pull out anything with a chemical in it. This model has been great. I can breath easy and most days I forget I have it on. I’ve been wearing it for weeks now and no headaches. It’s comfortable and the filters are easy to change.
