[TheForge] mask vs. eyes

I have that exact respirator.
Must be my mutated snout that makes it leak hot air, or my oversupply of

I have to agree with Bruce. I've been using one of these:

for years, and I don't have a problem with fogging glasses.

I found disposable filters pretty worthless, and this style is pretty
effective, reasonably priced, and the filters are available at the local
big-box store.
