North 5500 Series Niosh-Approved Half Mask Respirator, Large (550030L)

One of the best half masks I've used. Strong seal, and although the exaughst hole doesn't take everything out when i breathe out its still a good half mask. Light and i have taken it apart to give a good clean and works nicely. Good value and fits nicely i have a mediumish face and fits nicely.

Good respirator, industry standard

Very comfortable and works great.

Perfect fit

as advertised

Me gusta mucho es mut cómoda

I'm super happy with all my North brand respirator equipment so far, and I'm definitely happy with the price I paid for this one, so five stars for that part. That said, this listing is a bit misleading because the photo is not accurate, and amazon cut off the fact that it does not include the cartridges.

Very good fit for me. The mask itself seems to be of good quality and provides an excellent seal. The straps and retainers look like they will break pretty easily. The rear latch is the weakest part; it bends pretty easily and won’t take much to break it. While these parts are user replaceable, I wouldn’t want to have them fail on the job. I’ll be taking my old respirator apart and using the buckles on this one. Overall, this unit is decent for the price and will work for my needs as a DIYer on home repair work, and in my woodworking shop when doing finishing work. If I were a professional that needed to wear one daily, I’d spend more and get a better attachment system. This one is adequate for anyone needing a respirator for a couple hours every once in a while. The main point of any respirator is that it fits well and keeps the harmful particles out. This one does that and won’t break the bank.
