What full face respirator works best with glasses?

Hey jim, it's hard to say. I don't wear glasses. It may be a little uncomfortable. You would have to try it to see.

Some people say that this one works with glasses. Have never tried it. Thought about it but feel that to make sure nothing comes in there should not be any openings. The glass frame might allow for small particles to come in. Might be worth a try though. The 3M one works really well otherwise and is a good buy. I only used contacts and that worked well.

According to the documentation included with the mask, 3M offers a mask insert for eyeglasses that must be used in order to get a proper seal. 3M recommends using the 3M Spectacle Kit 6878/07141(AAD). It's available on Amazon.

I've not worn this item with any type of glasses but I can say that the fabric is loose enough around the eye opening to wear glasses without it pressing the frames against your head in an uncomfortable manner. I only wear glasses when shooting, while doing so I've found that fogging is unavoidable. I would recommend checking out anti-fogging wipes or spray to use before putting on your glasses/goggles.

I'm considering CBRN Requirement and using only NIOSH approved masks too. They're much more expensive though. Looks like the SGE 400/3 BB is the lowest cost mask that meets the requirements (maybe)

To keep dust and mold out of my system I used the pink circle filters (3M Tekk P100 Particulate Filter with Nuisance Level Organic Vapor Release) and it worked wonderfully--much better fitting and much better working than those disposable masks. If you have allergies or asthma or got really irritated lungs/nose/throat the last time, I would recommend this for the next time.Others have mentioned more detailed specs on the 3M website. (Your second question, I don't have a response for.)

Nikolai, This is a good designed mask for any dusty job. The reason I spend more for this design is because of the front vent that directs the exhaled breath away from fogging up my eye glasses.

It would work extremely well with glasses (shield projects out so you have enough clearance for Rx glasses). No more did I have to put on contacts to use safety goggles (they would have fogged up). I don't always use this face shield (it can be cumbersome for certain tasks) but it's nice protection for the entire face). My bro always borrows it when using the angle grinder. It's a great addition along with standard goggles

The 3M 9211 Cool-flow N95 masks are effective (I have Leukemia and the Dr. says this is what I need to ward-off flu & cold germs), they are comfortable to wear due to the flow-through valve and they are not overly expensive.

I have worn my regular glasses, sunglasses over contacts, and safety glasses at varying times. I haven't noticed any discomfort. I use the Bilsom during leaf blowing/vacuuming and find some kind of eye covering beneficial. On the other hand, I don't do this for more than 30 minutes at a time.

Good question. I would think if I could wear it for waliking around my shop, I could use it for walking outside. As a shop respirator, it's perfect.....the different filters can be used for either dust, vapors or both. A big plus for me is that it doesn't fog up my glassesn nor interfere with vision.Wind or bumps while bike riding could be a problem. Another possible problem could be the respirator strap, that goes across the top of the head may restrict the wearing of a biking helmet.By the way, where do you live?Joe FroelichLubbock, TX

If you need to wear glasses under the mask, 3M recommends using the 3M Spectacle Kit 6878/07141(AAD) available on Amazon.

While I found that this mask did a lot better job than a plain dust mask in keeping my safety glasses clear, when working while looking down for extended periods (I was drilling rock in an enclosed space), I still had condensation.

I have worn it with safety glasses with no trouble. The seal around the mask is flexible and seems to work well in fitting with glasses. Worked well for me when i was finishing a new floor - there was no smell though the finish was very potent.

Any 3D passive glasses, just like: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GTYOMIW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'll recommend WoodyKnows New Model Super Defense nasal filters (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00SHELUP0). Cutting-edge electrostatic filter attracts airborne particles for high filter efficiency with a thinner fiber layer. The filters capture most germs but do not directly kill bacteria. If disinfection is desired, please replace filters every day and wash the frame every day with 70% alcohol for maximum protection.

Spend the money for a closed guard. Your face and eyes will thank you. Safety glasses are just not enough.

3M has a Youtube video and they do not show the person wearing a respirator or dust mask. There is very little dust, if any at all using the 500 and 800 discs. While it doesn't appear to be necessary, if you are concerned, you could certainly wear a respirator or dust mask, it wouldn't hurt anything.
