The strap, extended to the longest, was still too short. This made the mask un-wearable. I bought the largest size, and my head is not unusually large. Another half-inch of rubber on the strap would have been a good investment, and made the mask usable. The mask fit pretty well on my face, but is not usable without around the head or behind the ear straps. Disappointing because the concept is good.

Mask is too small. My nose bumps into the end and the mask does not seal around it periphery. I had hoped it would eliminate my fogging glasses but that is still a problem too. Expensive mask that I can't use.

I purchased a Castlegrade mask for my use as a dentist for my PPE. I went in for my first appointment with a patient where I needed to talk to them about their treatment. Besides sounding muffled, I really could not even hold a conversation with the mask on. Within 5 minutes, I had to leave the room and switch back to a paper KN95. Although I wanted the product and the protection, I don't see how I am going to be able to use it in my dental office. In addition, one of the two straps that holds the mask in place is considerably too long. I also have a tiny face and I ordered the largest mask. It is very tight and left marks on my skin. As a healthcare provider who still needs to communicate, I am very disappointed.

While the product appears to use good materials and is well made, their ad and website paint a brighter picture than the actual mask provides. The overall size of the mask (M-L) is small (other reviewers mention this). It certainly is too small for me. The size of the actual filter material is minimal, restricted airflow and breathing resistance is the result. If a person is active the restricted air flow is extreme. I use various types of respirators occupationally and I thought this respirator (N95) would be good for going to the store etc. I think better information is needed on their website so there is a better match of the product to the user.

I am disappointed in how small this is. I am 6-5 so have a larger head than the average and this is not a comfortable fit for any length of time, which destroys the point of wearing it. No idea why you a) don't offer a larger size or b) warn people over a certain height that the product might not ft. And not giving refunds means you're outta luck.

Mask is way too small and uncomfortable.

At first the mask totally suffocated me. One can’t breathe at all (unless you put the straps so loose that there is space that leaks covid germs!!) then they sent me a different strap. It works better but it’s a different color. So the straps stick out like a sore thumb. Not very becoming at all!! And the whole process took FOREVER to ship and be delivered. Not quick at all. Not happy with the outcome. Too expensive for a mask I can’t really use.

Castlegrade's large size mask arrived with a strap that presses the mask uncomfortably against my face. Then I discovered, on a separate page on Castlegrade's website, a longer strap was available as a separate order. After paying over $50 (including shipping) I am upset that my email raising this issue didn't even receive an answer. My hat size is on the small side of "Large" yet this Large mask comes with a child-size strap. Even my wife (definitely a "small" head size) rejected the mask because it pressed too tightly on her face. Beware.
