Try wearing one for 11+ hours a day, when temperatures are peaking at over 50, and humidity is a constant 100%.
Fortunately my journeys underground are limited to checking and inspecting, but the workers do that for 14 days straight at a time. And they're glad to be wearing the mask because the alternative is gobbing down lungfuls of crap that would suffocate you in a matter of hours.
Nobody ever said that wearing a mask was fun.
I've worked on sites where
everybody carried a full-face gas-mask and personal gas-alarm. And we did it without complaint because the alternative was a quick and painful death.
