We all know we should avoid breathing wood dust and overspray from wood finishes, but those annoying paper masks are uncomfortable and usually of little good.
…
That’s why I think the QuickLatch Pro is a great value: It combines ultrafine filtration with all-day comfort. The QuickLatch Pro features dual filters that trap particles down to 0.035 microns—that’s dust, solvents, finishes, paint, mold, and pesticides—allowing only clean, breathable air through the mask. The QuickLatch Pro slipped over my head easily, covering my nose and mouth. I pulled the straps tight behind my neck for a good seal. The hinge-like latch releases the respirator quickly, allowing it to drop below my chin, and then just as quickly tightens it up—all with one hand.
