I bought this item because I work as a truck driver doing retail deliveries to stores of a major office supply chain, and I'm required to wear a mask while making my deliveries. The deliveries are all driver-unload, and I've struggled finding a mask that would fit comfortably, stay on my face without slipping either up or down, and allow me to breathe easily, particularly when pulling 2000 lb pallets of printer paper out of the trailer. This mask makes a soft, but secure seal against my face, I don't struggle to breathe while working, it doesn't collapse against my nostrils and block my airflow, it doesn't hook over the ears so there's no constant pulling on my ears, and best of all I don't go home at the end of the day with a pound of lint in each nostril. This is just the mask itself, so I paired the mask with a set of P100 filter cartridges, which provide 99.97 filtration of particulates including lipid-encased pathogens.
