Product Description
Introducing an innovative new respirator designed for optimum comfort. A comfortable respirator is more likely to be worn when needed; that's why comfort is such an important consideration. 3M 9200 Series respirators are a breakthrough in comfort and convenience. They were designed with extensive collaboration from users and safety professionals around the world. The key to their performance is the unique design. The low profile allows improved visibility and is compatible with a wide range of safety equipment. 3M's patented Cool Flow Exhalation Valve is positioned for cool, easy breathing. And the respirator is collapse-resistant and easy to carry and store before use. 3M 9200 Series respirators also feature a soft web on the inner panels to improve comfort against the skin. Wide headbands provide a comfortable and secure face seal. And they're individually packaged to prevent contamination and improve convenience. Do Not Use For: gases and vapors, including those present in paint spraying operations, oil aerosols, asbestos or sandblasting, aerosol concentrations that exceed 10 times the OSHA PEL, or applicable government regulations, whichever is lower. This respirator does not supply oxygen. Fit Testing: before use of this respirator, a written respirator protection program must be implemented meeting all the requirements of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 such as training and fit testing. Time Use Limitation: if respirator becomes damaged, soiled, or breathing becomes difficult, leave the contaminated area and replace the respirator. This respirator contains no components made from natural rubber latex. To receive additional information, call 3M's Fax on Demand at 1-800-646-1655 and request document number 3055 or 3056.

 Very Good Respirators August 5, 2010
M. Ross (Orange, CA USA)

These particulate respirators work very well, blocking out nuisance dust such as sawdust. I use them both at home and on the job. They are rated N95 for particulates and do a very good job filtering out the vast majority of dust and particles. This is a style slightly different from the molded ones you may be used to seeing at most big box stores.
The mask comes in individual plastic bags and are folded flat. I like that they are individually packaged, as I have had problems both at jobsites and at my workshop keeping fresh masks from being contaminated with dust when they are all nested together in one bag. Not a problem when each mask has its own wrapper. Also, you know when you take it out that it hasn't been used by someone else and then put back.
These also have the comfort valve, as you see in the picture. A light, flexible flap opens when you exhale, but immediately shuts when you inhale. It is protected by a surprisingly sturdy plastic cage, emblazoned with the 3M logo. This valve makes a huge difference, especially in hot climates. It makes a huge difference in both heat and moisture retention; making the mask markedly more comfortable vastly increases the likelihood that it will be worn when needed by you, your employees, or whomever. This is a critical feature, in my opinion, and worth the extra dough over those without it. In colder climes, or when one only needs to use the mask for short periods, you might be able to do without the vent and save a few bucks.
One very nice thing about this mask over the pre-molded versions is that the chin portion opens up to actually cover my entire chin by snugging up under it. For me, this gives a better fit than the molded ones that just seem to sit on top of my chin. I've got to give the comfort edge to these. Like the molded version, these masks also have a thin metal strip that you can mold to the bridge of your nose. On the inside of this strip is a broad and soft strip of foam, sufficiently thick (about 1/8 inch) to conform to the contours of your nose when using the metal clamp.
My only complaint about these otherwise excellent respirators revolves around the straps. I think they could be more robust. While they are strong enough not to break, I find they stretch out too easily and lose elasticity, especially if you find yourself taking the mask on and off, or reusing it over time. It is true that these are extremely comfortable to wear - indeed they are the most comfortable I've found - I would prefer if they held the mask just a little tighter to my face. The straps themselves are held to the mask by staples, an arrangement I also don't prefer, but I've never had one snap or slip loose from this point.
These are more expensive than the pre-molded versions, but I the additional comfort and individual packaging makes it worth it to me. There are other brands that are also N95-rated, but I trust my lungs to these, which have never failed me. I do want to mention one cautionary note about any filter: They do clog eventually. When insulating my attic with blow-in insulation, my respirator got so clogged I could barely breathe through it. While they did their job and no dust got through, a clogged filter can be dangerous so check your filters/respirators often if you are in extreme conditions.
The issue over the straps is a minor one for me, really, and doesn't keep me from going back to these masks over others. They are well made and very comfortable. They are excellent for dusty environments around the home, and also for appropriate work settings. I also include these particular ones in my emergency kits for home, auto, and work. Recommended!
SF NERT / CA CERT GO BAG July 3, 2010

This is a 'must have' in any SF NERT / CA CERT Go-Bag. The mask is packaged collapsed. This will provide a good fit over your face when you need it, unlike the 'dome' type. The 'dome' type of N95 mask will be crushed in the Go-Bag over a period of time and will take up too much room if you have it in a crush proof container. The Cool-Flow feature makes it easier to breath over extended period of time.
EXCELLENT MASKS May 21, 2010

I ordered these and a box of Moldex 2700 on the same day from two different companies. This company uses USPS and these 3M masks arrived almost a week sooner than the place that used UPS. Not only that, I found the 3M masks much cooler and the straps aren't excessively tight like the Moldex 2700. I will buy only these 3M masks in the future.

It's the most comfortable pollen mask I have ever used. It feels good, fits well, and with the valve, fogs your glasses much less.
