Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Respro Sportsta Contour Face Mask
Customer Review: Better than the Respro Techno Mask
Summary: 5 Stars
Although the Respro Sportsa Contour Mask may be difficult to size, it is better than the "Techno" model, and is a perfect device for outdoor urban dwellers; perfect for those whom walk, jog, or bike ride in pollution-laden cities (also recommended for asthmatics).Customer Review: Great except for fit.
Summary: 4 Stars
I love the filtration, exhaust valves, and strap that doesn't wear out, but it's hard to get it to seal completely. I'm a small guy (5'7") and I got a size large, but it's just barely big enough to reach from the nose to the chin. And with only one strap, it's tough to get the thing to seal completely. That's why N95 masks have two straps.
Interestingly, my cat freaks out when I wear it. His eyes get wide, his fur fluffs up, and he stares at me. White duckbill N95 masks don't bother him at all. Must be the camo spots.
Customer Review: Large size too small
Summary: 2 Stars
Insofar as I can tell, Respro has more types of mask for more types of activities than does anyone else. I own this one, the Sportsta, and the only issue I had with it is that its "large" size is too small for men with larger than average sized heads (i.e., if "one size fits all" hats don't fit you, this mask probably won't, either). I wound up buying the one Respro mask that comes in an XL size: their model FB-1, available on the Respro site. It fits me (size 7 3/4" head, lower face to match) pretty well, and it does a good job. It's also the only mask I can wear that doesn't interfere with the positioning of my glasses. Though like any neoprene mask, it quickly gets uncomfortable during vigourous exercise or in hot weather.
On the other hand, those of you whose heads are NOT the size of basketballs will find that this model, the Sportsta, or any of the other Respro masks will do an excellent job for you.

Customer Review: Motorcycle User
Summary: 4 Stars
The medium is a large fit. It works quite well as an exhaust filtering mask for motorcyle users. Since it tends to collect moisture as you exhale it is best used during warm weather.Customer Review: NOT for filtering out cigarette smells
Summary: 2 Stars
I had ordered the Respro Sportspa mask based on the recommendation of Respro's customer service.
I asked them which mask would they recommend for me that would not allow the smell of cigarettes to come thru. They said "Cigarette smoke is a particle, a very small sub-micron particle. The best masks for you would be either the Sportsta or the Aero Allergy mask. Both of these carry a Hepa-type filter which is used for the removal of sub-micron particulates."
I did go ahead and purchase the mask (medium) and I am a petite person. Unfortunately, I found that the mask did NOT filter out the cigarette smells. I am typically walking down the streets in NYC where people are smoking outside. Not once did this work. That is the main reason why I purchased this mask. So, if you are looking for a mask to filter out cig. smoke, I would not recommend the Respro Sportspa for that.
