Let me start by stating the good and the bad:
The good:
1.) It is extremely well built and durable. Just like the Arsenal gear-bag I bought, this thing can take a lot of abuse and has! Yet it still is fully intact.
2.) Protects my SCBA mask well. It is make of thick material and is coated on the inside, so there should be no worries about it scratching/wearing parts of the mask while being pushed in or pulled out. Also, unlike the drawstring type bags, when closed correctly and stowed upright, this one keeps all water out of bag and consequently out of a mask stowed inside.
The bad:
1.) Due to the way that the flap/lid is designed, it takes more effort and time to stow and remove the mask as compared to the round, top-opening, drawstring-closed mask bags. This is because the bag is rectangularly shaped, and the lid hinges from the back, down over the top opening, and overlaps the perimiter of the bag. Because the bag's material is so thick...Read more

Fits my MSA Full Face respirator well for storage, and especially protects the plastic so it doesn't get scratched too easily. It does get a little tight when the filters/cartridges are installed, but most of the time I'm storing the respirator without the cartridges anyhow.
The price is reasonable for its job, but I don't clip it on to my belt or anything special. For the few times a year I use the respirator, I'm not so worried about things happening to it in storage anymore. Your mileage for your full face respirator and usage patterns may vary and it might not be the right bag for you.
