Hey everyone! I'm on the hunt for a solid respirator mask, ideally one that also offers eye protection. My current semi-disposable mask just isn't cutting it for me, and I really need an upgrade. It's not working well with my goggles either, so a full combo would be perfect. My budget is around $40 to $50. Any suggestions?

Honestly, I find full face masks pretty annoying. I usually stick with a half face respirator and just wear safety glasses unless I'm doing something like demolition work that calls for full coverage. I've been using the 3M half face model for over a decade and love it!
You might want to check out some knockoff 3M full face respirators; they're usually in the $30-$40 range online. They should be adequate for woodworking needs!
For what it's worth, I really like GVS masks, but it might depend on your face shape. 3M could be a better fit for you, though!
