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

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
