I ordered these masks in the hopes that I could wear them when I work on the house, specifically when painting and sanding. Unfortunately, these masks are rather rigid in their shape and don't contour well across my broad and bearded face. Honestly, it's my beard that prevents these masks from creating a 'seal' over my mouth and nose. The masks work great for my wife and son, so I give these masks 5 stars. However, if you have a beard, I would recommend looking for other mask options.
