won't be staying from my Auras anytime soon
I've been rocking the 3M Auras for 4 years now but I really wanted to see if there was a black option that worked just as well. compared to the Aura, the VitaCore mask material is *very* thin, the noseband packs both the strong metal nosepiece as well as the comfortable foam padding. however the thing I think I dislike the most is that the mask straps are attached backwards which means a fight with the straps every time I want to do the mask because they naturally want to fall over the front. I will be keeping these for emergencies but they will not be a viable replacement for the Aura.
