Jronman Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 anyone ever seen these before? Would they an acceptable alternative to a dust mask? https://www.amazon.com/First-Defense-Nasal-Screens-7-Sets/dp/B004KQF9QA Andrew Klein use them for in his shop. He talks about them in this video 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 I don't think that's a good idea. Get an RZ Mask or a filter mask. Something with a physical filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jronman Posted January 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Supposedly they go down to 1 micron particles. Those RZ masks do look cool though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking of getting an RZ this weekend, are they comfortable? I've been using the paper style disposable, the type with the metal nose band, just need a comfortable solution 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use it on my atv and it works flawlessly, use it in the shop....the same. I use it getting hay and have a terrible hay fever. Works awesome! Actually it is pretty comfortable when you consider putting something on your face! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffmcmillan Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Those are bs. There's a reason filters have a large surface area, and masks cover your mouth too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 ill stick to my RZ mask as opposed to shoving something up my shnazz lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas2000 Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 It would seem a difficult task to filter at such levels as stated and still be able to draw breath with such a low surface area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I can tell you is the first one I got was a regular size the one that they recommended and it was a little tight. The second one was the next size up and it's a better fit. Something to think about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rrmccabe Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 I have not doubt I would knock those off on about 5 minutes. I can imaging not rubbing my nose or something. Not to mention I think the restriction with dust would just turn me into a mouth breather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure. My guess is one would put them on before sweat starts but I still think they could come off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
