Sadly, I found the #Moldex8000 #respirator #mask too uncomfortable after an hour or so. To get a good seal to my face, I had to tighten both straps hard, which made it press on the bridge of my nose. The pressure became intolerable after a while. Someone with a wider face or less prominent nose bridge may not have these issues. Plus points: head straps more comfortable and easier to don than #GVSElipse, breathability reasonable.

Small/narrow face. I’ve tried several elastomeric respirators for fit/comfort. None is comfortable, none fits well all the time:
- #GVSElipse lightest, best sealed except when I bend forward (gapes at chin), irritates face after a few hours
- #Moldex8000 best headstrap, but needs to be pulled tight to face to seal, then is uncomfortable
- #Flomask least Darth-Vader but seal breaks over nose bridge
- Will try #Breathe99 next

@SRLevine Yes, face size and nose shape are key factors in fit. I love the #Airgami 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. #Flomask fits size-wise but seal over my nose breaks. #GVSElipse 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 #Airgami: light, mostly fine seal, can wear for many hours, but only #N95 (could smell wildfire smoke)
- #GVSElipse w #P100 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 #Moldex8000 series w P100 filters. First impression is great fit, harder to breathe in than Elipse

Looking for #elastomeric #mask recommendations, please. Ideally #P100 to fit a smaller face, and not too “Darth Vader”.

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

For non-elastomeric #N95 masks, the only ones I’ve tried that fit (bc most are too big) are:
#Airgami small: great fit, v comfortable, easy to talk
#3MAura: ok if I don’t talk much
