Update: 12/13/2015So I have been using this mask for a few months now and the sleeve straps broke on both sides. Now I did not change my review because this mask really works, I mean my workouts which are doing 4 miles (1 hour) on the BowFlex Max Trainer M5 every day are much better when using this mask. You really feel the difference. Now why do the straps break, I can theorize the sweat and constant usage wear them out. Look gym shoes wear out and you need to replace them from usage. I would say it would be nice if they used a higher quality neoprene but that may not help. Overall this is a really good idea and product. Maybe a design change in needed. But overall one needs to replace their gym shoes once per year so maybe the straps on this mask are the same idea.I closing I believe the strap issue is out weighted by the products benefits. So I still recommend this mask but know that you will probably need to replace the sleeve from time to time. Also you may want to check e-bay for lower prices.This product is fantastic. Let me first start off by the facts I have experienced. I use this mask once per day for 1 hour on the 9,000 foot level. Using the bowflex MAX Trainer M5 with an average of 600 calories burned. This mask really gives me a harder workout, I feel more tired and like I have been going longer then 1 hour. The real difference for me is the after workout period, I feel more awake, more alert and have a clearer mind for the whole day. I love using this product.Now to address some of the complaints and reality. 1) It does make you work harder to breath, the point of the mask in the first place. 2) If you meditate while exercising, and by this I mean focus on controlled breathing it creates a amazing experience. You really feel great and then by the end you are so exhausted you really feel rejuvenated 2) Wear the mask I few minutes prior to starting a cardio workout. Do not put it on and immediately hit the tread mill, bike or elliptical. Get used to it. 3) Yes you need to do 90% of our breathing through your mouth, but you do not need to have a mouth gaping open, think scuba diving breathing. 4) It does take a little time to get used to it, but once you do it is like your favorite exercise tool. 5) If you feel it is falling off use the extra head strap, I do because it feels a bit more secure.My point is that this mask will help your workout a lot. You need to relax, and go with it. If you have ever snorkeled or scuba dived then the experience is a breeze, very similar. This is a great product and the results you will see from using it are awesome.If you are not sure go to a army surplus store and try on a gas mask with filter, how do you feel can you control your breathing or do you panic. If you cannot then this is not the tool for you, if you can then this will be a good tool for you.This item may not be for everyone, you need to be focused this is not a tool for the gym once per week. If you are serious about getting into great shape then this will help you out.

The first time I saw this mask was at the gym (Like everyone else I'm guessing). Then it got me curious...After doing some research it seemed like a good idea to check it out. It took me awhile because I was terrified of the sizing chart. That is not accurate at all. By weight? Come on son! So after that 1+ year of research I finally ordered one. The materials are pretty basic though...Who knew some stretchy sleeve, rubber and plastic could run you $80. Anyway, it fit well on me and it sure did it's job of restricting my breathing. You're occasionally gasping for air in between workouts and when you rip it off, it's awesome because you can totally breath. It's kind of like sitting in the heat for hours on end and then walking into an air conditioned building.Now to the workout stuff:Look, this piece of equipment is definitely helpful for you if you want to improve your breathing. Breathing better, more oxygen to your blood and you're performance during your workouts increases, even if it's marginal. Personally, I feel you get the best results when you're doing circuit training or cardio. I'm 5'9" and 251 lbs of danger. I work out for strength and I do plenty of olympic lifts. I'm one of the worst when it comes to cardio. With this mask, I'm already seeing signs of improvement in my cardio in terms of distance. Sure I had to stop and walk from time to time because I felt like passing out, but after doing the same thing without the mask, I was able to run a mile without stopping! Yes, that's a HUGE improvement in my standards.Again, I feel you can maximize the use of the mask when you have minimal rest time. Here's the big problem I have with several people wearing this mask:-I see sorry looking people that looked like they've never worked out in their life at the gym and they start off with this mask. No joke, I've watched a guy do 3 halfwitt pull-ups, 6 knee pushups, and then do a fake jump rope in place for like 8 secs....All in 6 minutes. You don't wear this mask to look cool at the gym. I'm thinking the thought of wearing such a high profile looking piece of equipment makes some people feel like they're better than others. Especially when you're a gym newbie. STOP! You know who you are.-DO NOT DO YOUR ONE REP MAX OR EXTREMELY HEAVY WEIGHT WITH THIS MASK! Look, it's cool to wear it for performance and all, but when you're testing yourself to the point of potential injury, you want to make sure you're body is prepared for it. You ever NOT breath while you're lifting? It's freakin' bad man. I'm sure you've seen the Youtube video of a guy deadlifting 315lbs and then passing out. It's like that.-USE IT RIGHT! You really think throwing this mask on, hitting the gym like you normally would, will make you like Bane? NO! That's like wearing UnderArmour and all of a sudden you think you can put another set of plates on the bar. NO NO NO NO! Read reviews. People talk about improving their cardio which in turn, helps with your overall performance while working out. I have yet to see a review say, "Ya totally bought this mask, wore it for about 2 months and now I'm benching 3 plates."I'd never wear this at the gym. The only time I would wear this at the gym is if it was a crossfit gym and I wanted to challenge myself with one of those ridiculous workouts that destroy your soul and body. I use this for running, jump rope, and baby versions of crossfit workouts at home.1 workout example200 53kg kettlebell swings (10-20 per set) and then 5-10 pushups and try not to rest. Doing that alone is painful. And now you're going to restrict you're breathing. But hey, this is one workout I've been doing to help.In conclusion, it's a good product but expensive. Use it right and wisely. And do yourself a favor: When you first put it on, it sounds awesome so get all of your Bane and Darth Vader impressions out of the way right there. I spent about 20 minutes talking like Bane. I turned to the South Park episode that had the Bane impressions and repeated what they said.

The sleeve has fallen apart and replacements are over priced

It’s so good for run, incredible the way to bring resistance.

I like that its a rubber mask, customized it with N95 filters for PPE....

Cómodo y ajustable

J'avoue que j'étais très septique quand j'ai acheté Ce produit. Je pensais que c'était encore un produit bidon avec des résultats fausses comme on voit souvent sur les pubs américaines.. réalité?C'est un super masque. Très bonne qualité et facile à utiliser et nettoyer (malgré un mode d'emploi en anglais). Je l'utilise pour du cardio training, course, vélo et mes entraînements Freeletics dans le cadre de la préparation des ultra Trails.. je sens bien la différence. Je suis plus performant, beaucoup moins essoufflée et j'arrive a me donner encore plus a fond. Je. L'utilise pratiquement tous les jours ou moins 2 a 1h si je ne m'entraîne pas.. Je le recommande!
