Kudos to Kent, Fit is the most important. My preference is the MSA brand half mask with a combination Particulate/vapor filter. In the Pest control industry we use bannanna capsules to check for fit. Put on the mask, break the capsule, and if you can smell bannannas it doesnt fit. Most respirator suppliers have these available.
