Great video guys... I noticed the Safety Spectacles were not fitting very well. I sometimes use the Bolle Cobra Range to illustrate the choices available that could work better with some RPE especially the very good but tall SR100

Yeah Bolle are a decent brand (high bridge so actually covers the eyes when wearing the SR100), as is Sundstrom. The fact that Sundstrom give guidance around face sizing when selecting the RPE shows their commitment to ensuring a decent seal. Although they cost slightly more, they are definently value for money and cost effective in the long run.

Designs could be better to factor in people who must wear spectacles otherwise what's the point of trying to come up with an appropriate fit?

Hi, will this measurements work for a 3m masks half respirator as well? Thanks

Julia passed that test with the first respirator, but it went up past the bridge of her nose right to her eyebrows, and although she could breathe, it really interfered with her safety eyewear. If she were wearing corrective lenses, that respirator was so large that she would not have been able to see because of the weight interfered with her ability to wear eyewear. Shirley somebody out there manufactures a small or extra small- small size? Is there anybody on here who can provide some names and makes of respirators for smaller faces?

I tried a SR900 in M (SR100 M/L size) it did not fit. But I can see it was going very high in my face. The S size (S/M for SR100) was right. But it is also going up very high. So I think that will be the same with all Masks from Sundström.

When corona started and nobody knows how it will end. I heard about sundström and bought an SR900 in M. Because I measured around 112mm. When I covered the filter with my hand and inhaled, it was never tight. But when I looked at me and on the pictures on the manufacturer website, the end of the mask ends very high. So for me it looked right but the air passing the side of my nose says no. Now I need a mask for work. I ordered an SR900 in S and give it a second chance. Wish me luck. I hope my measurement just had been wrong.
