Best With Valve: Aura Particulate Respirator

Buy on Amazon

The aura particulate respirator should be able to handle its purpose and duties with ease. The "fish" shape is better than the simple tented design, it's roomier and feels nicer over your mouth. It fits a wide range of face shapes and sizes. The design fits snugly and keeps the big filter panel away from your face, making this a good choice if you need to talk while wearing a mask. If you like the whole packed individually these are wrapped up individually so easy to keep a spare or two in the car or whatever.

The metal nose piece is solid and strong and won't have trouble staying in place when you first opened but goes away really quick. The masks are individually sealed, which is a plus. It does contain natural rubber latex.

Why We Like This:

Good fit, good seal, no leaks, no fogged up eye glasses
Perfect for air travel and most comfortable
Comfortable, and didn't require constant adjustment
Excellent mask for those who wear glasses
