Product Reviews

The 3M 7800S-S is a small-size silicone full-face respirator built for heavy-duty industrial use. NIOSH-certified to APF 50, it accepts all 3M 6000 Series bayonet cartridges and features a conventional 4-strap harness and blue-tinted wide-view lens. Best for confined space, petrochemical, asbestos abatement, and spray painting.

Verdict: 4.6/5. The 3M 7800S-M Medium is 3M's heavy-duty full silicone full-face respirator. The right pick for asbestos abatement, shipyard, and bridge-paint programs requiring daily decon. The wrong pick when long-shift weight comfort, panoramic field of view, or a lower upfront cost matters more than decon-survival and service life.
