Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I am a ceramic artist and a dust mask is a staple in the category of safety items needed in the studio. I bought this mask mainly because it seemed better designed than my old one and it was organic vapor rated. However, it does not come with an easily removable lower strap (the one that goes around the neck) and there is a leak of some sort that I can't find on the left hand side. All I know is that it does not create a solid air seal when I cover the vents with my hands. I would say this respirator is okay, it probably does the job. However, there are better ones out there. Had I used it before the end of return time period was up, I would have returned it.
