MIRA SAFETY M Certified Facial Gas Mask Respirator - Full Mask 1 Year Manufacturer Warranty (CM-i01 Black)

Fantastic peripheral views. I use this with a papr and it works great. So far it's not scratched which is why I replaced my other one.

This is a really high quality mask. I feel confident every time I use it. I primarily use it for automotive painting and clear coat restoration. I've had other less expensive masks and this hands down beats them all by a long shot. When it comes to fit, finish, quality of all pieces of mask and their filters. The quality of the lenses are super impressive. They fit very well and it's very easy to communicate with the mask on.

From the moment I opened the package, I knew I had made the right choice. I was genuinely thrilled—it was exactly what I hoped for (maybe even better)! The quality is outstanding, the details are spot-on, and you can tell it was made with care. I’ve been using it every day since it arrived, and I can’t stop recommending it. It brings a smile to my face every time I see it! If you’re on the fence, don’t hesitate—this is absolutely worth it!

Generally speaking this is a well built mask, comparable in quality to name brands such as 3M or Honeywell. Takes universal 40mm filter and fits the face quite well. However there is a serious flaw with this model and it’s due to the fact that it’s designed and made differently than any other respirator on the market regardless of price. Usually full face respirators would have a two-chamber construction, on that covers mouth and nose, and the other covers the eye. Upon inhaling, fresh air would enter from the filter and pass through a non-return valve from the eye chamber to the nose/mouth chamber, clearing up any foggy or humid air in the way. And when exhaling, the valve would prevent hot humid air to go back towards the eye chamber but to exit directly from the mouth chamber. There is no such valve in this mask, so whenever you exhale the hot air would rise and fog up the entire visor. Their marketing claim is that they employed a super low resistance flap that would allow the hot air to exhaust directly from the mouthpiece and to breathe in easily. In theory it might’ve worked, but in practice this is absolutely not true. Once you use the mask for a while and the antifog layer is used up it becomes completely unusable. It’s also funny to see that their higher end models respirators all having the non-return valve and being marketed fog free design as well. So why they they attempted to fix something that wasn’t broken? Respirators have been working for decades with the non-return valve design. So it’s either a really messed up design, lack of real world test or they intentionally crippled this model for being the cheapest tier in their lineup.

The biggest downside for me? The smell. It has that strong, synthetic odor you'd expect from a Halloween-store mask—not exactly what you want in a professional-grade respirator. The fit and finish also leave something to be desired. The plastic connection point for the 40mm filter wiggles and makes noise. The overall face section feels very generic—like a one-size-fits-all design. While that might work for universal applications, it doesn’t quite suit my narrower face. I was hoping for something a bit more tailored. On the plus side: The swivel connector for the head strap makes it easy to position. The thick rubber strap holds tension well and doesn’t loosen over time. Field of view is excellent. The base plastic feels sturdy and impact-resistant (though I don't plan on testing that personally). Overall, it fits the description as advertised, but for me, it feels too spacious in ways that impact comfort and confidence. Still, it’s a solid mask with good features—just not a perfect fit for everyone.
