@SRLevine Yes, face size and nose shape are key factors in fit. I love the small size: very comfortable and good fit. Wore for 19+ hours at a stretch with a few breaks of just a minute or two to drink, with no issues. But walking the dog when air quality was atrocious, felt I needed better protection. fits size-wise but seal over my nose breaks. is good fit except when I lean over (e.g. to do up shoes).

Finding a small mask that doesn’t leak has been a trial:
- Best so far : light, mostly fine seal, can wear for many hours, but only (could smell wildfire smoke)
- w filters: no smoke smell, but smells awful itself, makes my face itch after a few hours, and fit fails if I bend forward
- Now trying series w P100 filters. First impression is great fit, harder to breathe in than Elipse

@colorblindcowboy Yeah, the little card doohickey on the bottom headstrap cord can loosen easily. We solved this: my spouse wears Salomon shoes which use a little bobble with an internal spring to keep the laces tight… so we took those off an old pair and put them on the Airgami headstraps, and hey presto: no more slipping. Can’t wear them thru airport security, tho! (The Airgami masks were fine to wear thru the scanners)

@colorblindcowboy (Came across your post while looking for recommendations) My spouse and I have worn since 2021 bc they fit well, and are super light + comfortable. Recently wore one for traveling (plane, train x 4; 19+hr altogether; and again in reverse), so slept for a few hours wearing it too. But could smell wildfire smoke thru mine (when was >300), so am now looking for a small or as well.

Looking for recommendations, please. Ideally to fit a smaller face, and not too “Darth Vader”.

So far I’ve tried:
Fits ok at rest but seal over bridge or nose sometimes breaks when I nod or talk
Small size is a good fit but smells of plastic

For non-elastomeric masks, the only ones I’ve tried that fit (bc most are too big) are:
small: great fit, v comfortable, easy to talk
: ok if I don’t talk much

I regularly get compliments on my by people who are unmasked and I'm always like, 🤷‍♀️, you, too, could have an awesome accessory like this and I will freaking buy one for you if that's what you need.
