Elipse P100 Nuisance Odor

This is a great mask. As comfortable as I think a mask like this can be. It works with my glasses, not perfectly, but decently.

Excellent mask and the durability is awesome! With readily available replacement filters and a firm, not to snug fit, it's an essential for my company!

Fantastic, good price, fits under a welding hood.

Works great! Compact which allows me to have a bigger field of view. Forgot I had it on, very comfy, easy to breath, and had no dust get into my lungs or nose.

I haven't yet tested the mask in an environment where I can tell if it filters effectively, but I can talk about the fit for now (which was something I couldn't find any information on within Amazon or on the GVS website). I am a 5'7" woman. I probably have an average, to slightly smaller than average, sized head and face. The mask seems to me to be a bit small, but workable. I find that when I wear it with the bottom slightly under my chin, which seems intuitively correct, the plastic rings inside of the filter sides really press into the sides of my mouth. When I move it up a bit higher (with the bottom of the mask exactly lined up with the tip of my chin so that it really sits on the front of my chin), I don't feel them as much, but then it's a little harder to move my mouth for talking. It helps overall to make sure the straps aren't super tight, but then I'm not as certain of the seal (though it seems to be okay). It would really help if GVS provided a graphic that showed exactly where the bottom and top of the mask were supposed to be relative to your chin and the bridge of your nose and told you how to measure for fit. I get exactly 5" when I measure from the tip of the nose piece to the bottom of the chin piece on the mask. Other observations: The mask seems sturdy and well built. It is pretty comfortable, but not so easy to talk with it on (both for mouth movement and it sounds muffled, which one might expect, but I was using a 3M N95 filter before which is easier to talk with). The nose piece can start to make the bridge or top of your nose sore after a while depending on how much you tighten it and where it lands (if I move it all the way up to where glasses would sit, it's less pressure over time, but again, the chin doesn't feel quite right then). It does have a plastic smell... hopefully not unhealthy to inhale in its own right! I tried calling GVS customer service to check on how to wear and whether this is the right size for me. When I called the main US number, it said to press 2 for customer service. When I did so, I got silence. I may try to call again and get some other extension. I did so successfully once before when I was trying to understand the different between this and the 451 mode., it's just a hassle to try to navigate through. By the way, for those deciding between the 449 and the 451, I was told that they provide all the same protections except that the 449 also filters out odors because the filter is charcoal backed. When I ordered, the 449 was cheaper than the 451, so it was a no brainer to choose that one.

I'm not a welder which these are made for, especially because of the low profile, but I use these at the shop since its not cumbersome like the other regular half piece mask that is big. This fits perfectly and doesn't get in the way wearing safety glasses.

I ran with this mask for several weeks when the smoke in my area due to fires was at dangerous levels. It’s a great mask for running/exercising/gardening/etc. Extremely comfortable and light weight, By far the most comfortable and affective respirator mask I have ever worn. I also use it during all of my house remodel projects as it filters out mold, dust, as well as dangerous chemicals and fumes. By far the most comfortable and affective respirator mask I have ever worn. I also use it during all of my house remodel projects as it filters out mold, dust, as well as dangerous chemicals and fumes. It is also rated for thick smoke from what I remember, and it worked very well for me when I ran in the hills which were thick with smoke. Comfortable and effective respirator mask I have ever worn in 40 years. This mask can be used in industrial, residential, recreational activities. See the product details for specific usages.

The mask is nice and handy to have with you on the job. Some days I need a mask some days I don't depending so I wanted this low profile one that's easy to throw in my bag. The only issue is it doesn't quite seal up around the nose and I have to pull the straps so tight that the mask digs into my face just to not have my glasses fog up. It definitely makes me not want to use it as much. On a painting job using a sprayer I had to choose between breathing in paint particles or getting paint in my eyes because the mask was causing my glasses to fog up. Not that fun.

Looks good, nice fit especially for a smaller face, pretty comfortable and does not obstruct vision. Compact and not bulky like other brands. Filters are slim and tight to mask and do not extend beyond the mask to much. Happy this mask comes with P100 filters instead of P95 filters - a bit more protection in the P100 filter. Excellent amount of closure around mouth, nose and chin. Came nicely packaged and ready to use right away - no assembly of filters and just minor adjustment of straps to fit your head.

This is the second one I’ve purchased. The first one just wore out, but I used it for a couple years. I use it when I’m doing carpentry work and it works great. Love that it’s a small smaller half face size.

Used it at the gun range a few times and works perfect. Fit is good , sometimes leaks if you put your chin down , but hey , it is not custom made to fit my face, it's a commercial product to fit everyone. other than that fit is good , comfortable,not bulky at all , easy to use. Overall ,a very good product.

Where I live the people above me smoke (ALOT), the neighbors in the apartment buildings on either side of me smoke, and sometimes the odor is so strong it wakes me up in the middle of the night. These charming, but old, buildings have poor insulation and ventilation. My landlord is pro-smoker's rights. In desperation, I bought this mask, and it works! Not super comfortable straps, and it's a bit pricey, but it really lowers my stress.

Ok after using this mask I’ve noticed some problems one the exhaust valve gets sticky with moisture from breathing and talking for extended periods of time or working hard, also the talk diaphragm or exhaust is very small so your almost yelling in the mask for anyone to hear you, also moisture buildup can’t drain as the exhaust valve is too high on the mask. These items need to be fixed as the mask is not suitable for long periods of wearing. This mask should be updated to be more effective. Still a nice mask and with updates would be much better. Have fun
