Dräger X-plore 3300 with 2x ABEK1 Hg P3 Filters – Professional Respirator for Chemical Fumes, Organic Vapours, Spray Painting, Resin & Toxic Gases – EN143 Certified (Size L)

This was my first time trying a Dräger gas mask, and I'm blown away by its performance and quality. I run a printing business, and although the fumes are considered safe, I've always been bothered by the smell while working. I'd rather not take any chances with my health.The Dräger Gas Mask X-plore 3300 with ABEK1 Hg P3 RD Gas Filters is incredibly well-made, and everything about it shouts high quality. The fit is really snug for me, even with my beard, and it doesn't feel loose at all. It's comfortable to wear for long periods without any issues and doesn't feel heavy or like it's digging into my face. The weight balance ratio is just right.I've been wearing this mask daily since February, and I love it! The filters do a fantastic job of filtering out chemical fumes and smells from the machines I use. They are also very simple to change. The mask does exactly what it's supposed to, and I was astounded by how well it works. Make sure to read the instructions regarding the storage of the filters and ensure you get the right size.It's a little on the expensive side, but it really is worth it. I'm very impressed with Dräger and will only be using their masks going forward, as the quality of their products and my experience with them have been exceptional.Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I hope that you found it helpful and that it assists you in your decision-making. I try to be as honest and fair as possible, as those have always been the reviews that helped me the most.

This mask has proven to effective for me in stopping superglue fumes.In small gluing operations, even in a ventilated room, with a dust mask, I found the superglue fumes were causing nasal irritation, sneezing and mucus. This medium size mask has stopped any reactions and is comfortable to wear. The face seals work well and there is no air leakage.

Good quality,reasonable price

I was a little worried that the flexible mask piece would not make a good seal, (I ordered a size medium). Needn't have been concerned. Once I had figured out the fit the mask worked beautifully.

Used for spraying 2 part epoxy paint which has very dangerour fumes, very impressed. Good fit and zero odour came through. Amazing really I would recommend

The Dräger 3300 chemical ABEK1HgP3RD is a decent mask with a brilliant filter and I sent this review below to a friend who was interested in buying either the Dräger 3300 or the jsp force 8 respirator FFP3RJSP Force 8 respirator FFP3RD vsDräger 3300 half face ABEK1HgP3RD.Price £22.99 vs £30.83 but equivalent ABEK1HgP3RD filters £29.99 vs £14.99Fit jsp has slightly easier to fit but the elestic and head band on the drager is better quality.The fit of the Dräger is a better seal but the filters stick out more than the jsp.Cleaning and maintenance the jsp is far easier to clean the rear is the same to clean but the exhale valve area is not easy to remove the Dräger cover which is the most important part to clean as this is a condensation area.Conclusion jsp is easier to clean and maintain with a lower starting price but at the moment struggling to get filters and the ABEK1HgP3RD filters cost twice as much as the Dräger filters but for the FFP3RD filters are £8.99 vs £12.99 and box vs open and for the extra £2 you can have decent combination ABEK1HgP3RD combination filters, therefore other than maintenance issues the Dräger made in Germany and Romania is the better option but if you don't require any chemical or painting filters then the jsp is a cheaper option but currently availability for the jsp unit from amazon but getting the box filters most oos and only the open filters available from amazon and screw fix, whereas the Dräger A2P3 and ABEK1HgP3RD options from amazon and P3, A2P3 and ABEK1HgP3RD options available from screw fix with A2P3 and ABEK1HgP3RD filters available from amazon but more expensive than screw fix £12.99 P3 or A2P3/ABEK1HgP3RD £14.99.Dräger 3300 with ABEK1HgP3RD filtersFor the moment July 2020 this is a good price for a decent respirator with brilliant filtering and available filters

Very good quality product easy to put on

If I could give it zero I would, a huge amount of design has obviously gone in to the mask, shame that stopped completely when it came to the straps, they simply don’t stay tight, mask won’t even stay on my face just falls off. And of course not eligible for return so I have not only wasted my money totally but now have to buy a replacement. Utterly appalling.
