Can you wear this mask over a beard?

Yes, but you will not get good seal which defeats the purpose of the mask. Not a good choice if you have a beard. A good seal is important to prevent very fine dust from getting into your lungs.

No.. bu using the mask over the beard you would be compromising the seal of the mask ..your best bet would be to buy a full face mask .

I have a goatee and I use this respirator...it seems to work fine (I always block the vents and try to breathe in before using), though I can occasionally smell faint odors while wearing it, whether it's paint, solvents, or residual cooking smells. So you can take that for whatever it's worth.

That depends on how long is the hair of your beard. If your beard is merely one to one and a half inch like mine you can wear with no problem. If longer than 1"-1 1/2" , you will still be able to wear it but the excess hair will be trailing outside as the shield is designed for dust protection not fire protection where you can't wear it anything on top of your beard. It's worth mentioning here that you can also wear glasses under the shield comfortably.

Don't need one, having the mask on is like holding a cup to your face, you get the same echo sound but no I don't think it would fit anyways

I have a nice size beard and I never had a problem with it. You look a little funny when you wear it lol cease it pushes back your beard but that's it. It work great.

I'm a big guy, and the mask fully protects my face. It is really cheap and not that comfortable. I ended up replacing it after a year with a higher quality mask.

No. It can not. Facial hair is different than hair on the head.If you did manage it would take way too long. Use a Schick Quattro.

None at all. It will work fine for both as long as it fits your face. Its also a very comfortable mask.

The filter might but the mask WILL NOT. It's a partial face mask. I would not expose myself with anything less than a Full coverage mask - because I am inexperienced in biological isolation techniques and practices. All you people out there who are panicking and thinking that you should be buying this stuff, you are wasting your time without proper instruction in how to utilize and maintain your equipment. Improper, inadequate, or non-existent training is as good as no mask at all.

I'm not sure. Mine came with it. Although I dont use the mask. I doesnt fit me right.

Don't see why not? But I'm sure it would deep clean your skin better without the beard being in the way.

Yes. It is very small though, mainly allows your nostrils through. You can just like any other of these masks, widen the hole should you need to!

Yes, yes you can wear a 1/2 face respirator under the 3M Ratchet headgear H8A

Yes, you can wear a dust mask - as a matter of fact it'll keep you from fogging up the mask if it is very humid.

I have a full beard and I have used this mask (and it's previous version) for 10+ years. I have had no problems with leaks. this mask covers your nose not mouth and nose.

Depends on how large the head is. Just make sure you ask for the adult size mask.

It will not seal properly. It's itchy with just a bit of face fur. I've seen guys sanding with these on and take it off awhile later looking like they stuck their nose in the dust. They all had beards or something obstructing the seal allowing air in. I wore this or the half mask for 10 months where I used to work.

Nope! You're better off buying a mask that's $30-50.. I use mine for airsoft and I know for sure nothing would go through. Paintball is a different story!
