My mask, the FB-1 is a good mask, with a few caveats. Although, this can just be due to the shape of my head. The sizing guide seems to be a little off. I fit the criteria for XL, but the strap seems a bit large? The mask fits good. Except I have a thin nose and I am constantly adjusting the metal clip to prevent my glasses or face shield from fogging up. Sometimes I can still smell exhaust. I am guessing that is normal though. I think I will try to add a piece of foam to the nose area. That might work to prevent fogging. Actually, due to my face size (or abnormality) I may try to add a strip of foam around the mask to improve the seal. These are not complaints or negatives. It is a good mask, and Respro is good to do business with. When I commented the metal clip broke, they sent a replacement ASAP! Maybe a different mask with a plastic self-adjusting clip may work.
