None of which are practical if you need to wear glasses.

The gusto to post an Amazon affiliate listicle?
They have many other articles directly addressing the rising fascism. That you also only see this as an "affiliate link" without grokking the larger theme of "Gas Masks for tear gas" and how that relates to what ICE is doing to the US is part of the larger problem with contemporary media illiteracy.
3M 6800 have all but sold out on Amazon, probably because of this review. I had almost forgotten about Portland in 2020. This author has some great writing about the double standard of non-violence as well. 10/10

An amazon affiliate link wrapped in the mantle of edgy resistance. Ignoring that, why would anybody take this site serious for gasmask recommendations? Shallow and fast-food level information.

But that is exactly what the flag button is there for?! - but this discussion has been had numerous times, and the two sides will never agree. Safest to flag (or not) as you see fit, because you are a good person rather than an evil one. Then rely on the admins to rescue needlessly ultraflagged articles as appropriate. They are pretty good at doing the right thing.
You're saying the discussion of which chemical respirators to wear to protests has been had numerous times? I'd say this is a productive topic of conversation for many HN users. There are not "two sides" on this topic, unless we're talking 3M vs MSA. The people flagging or commenting with opposing political views are disrupting conversation , likely because they they disagree with how the topic has been framed. This…
All gas masks simply buy the wearer time, and not much time at that... Automotive Painter shops use an actual filtered external fresh-air feed medical-grade pump, as it avoids whatever mystery compounds are in various paints and cleaners. Don't cheap out on PPE, as 3M does make good quality filters. =3
This article was not about using gas masks for industrial purposes lol

Put aside politics and anti-tear gas use cases: everyone should just have a full face gas mask for all hacker-ish activities, like painting. Skip half-face, go for full face. Half face models don't just leave eyes exposed but hurts the back of the neck. Maybe I'm wearing it wrong, but the headstrap for full face is much more comfortable. They also seal a lot better. More random tidbits: You'd semi-obviously want a sa…
Not everyone who wears eyeglasses, unless you're prepared to add another several hundred dollars for the lens holder and set of prescription lenses.
I do have the 3M 6800 full face respirator but almost never use it. The silicone 7xxx series is much more comfortable than the rubber 6xxx series, and the 750x silicone half mask is reasonably priced. Augment with comfortable googles as necessary (vented ones work for me since I'm painting, not rioting).

"Have you got chronic sebhorric dermatitis, click this link to make it go away".
"You may be eligible for compensation if you bought a Volkswagen"
"Fight the corrupt fascist government, buy a gas mask here"
"Fight the corrupt socialist government, buy a year's supply of Iodine tablets"

Buying safety equipment on Amazon is extremely dumb. You won't know that you got a fake until it's too late.
Very recently Amazon announced they'd stop commingling inventory from 3P sellers and themselves, so it should be safer to buy from Amazon in the future (if you look at the specific seller), but still maybe worth avoiding for safety critical items which are difficult to inspect.
