Mainly good, but be aware of some things
You can't give half stars, but if you could, this would be a 3.5 for me.  It was shipped quickly at a time when that wasn't at all the norm, so I'm rounding up.<br /><br />There are 3 things I like about this mask and 1 thing I don't like:<br />1.  The mask is reasonably well made; stitching is straight and even and expands to cover the lower half of the face<br />2.  There is a bendable hard nose guard - this not only helps with fit but also helps determine which side is "up"<br />3.  The mask has a pocket for a filter - I really appreciate masks that allow me to insert my own filters<br /><br />However, the last point is also directly related to the one thing I don't like about this mask.  The pocket opens from the bottom.  In fact, the entire bottom of the mask is open.  If you aren't using a filter, that doesn't matter.  But if you are using a filter, you need to be aware of this and make sure the filter is inserted properly and you secure the mask appropriately on your face so the filter doesn't shift or come out, especially when you're putting it on or taking it off.  In a way, I understand this design choice; the nose guard means it can't open from the top.  But I have another mask with a filter pocket and that pocket opens from the side.  This mask would get another star if the pocket opened from the side OR if if there was a snap or button to ensure the filter won't come out until you're ready for it to come out.<br /><br />I didn't take away a star for this being a mask that ties instead of having elastic.  I greatly prefer elastic, but I bought this mask knowing it had ties so it doesn't seem fair to count that against the mask.  For what it is, it's perfectly fine.  The ties are long enough.  From a very nitpicky perspective, the ties on my mask aren't sewn at the ends so they could start to seriously fray/unravel with time and washing.  Out of the box, there was already a bit of unraveling.  I don't think this will be a major issue for me as I have multiple masks now and I can rotate them, but if you're looking for this to be your primary mask, just be aware that you may want to secure the ends on your own if for no other reason than to keep them neat, much less preserve their life.
