The quality, style and comfort are unquestionably superior than any other masks we are currently using. The colors are also very nice. Having said that the small size feels small even for my 8 years old who weighs 70 pounds. It covers the areas necessary to cover (nose and mouth) without need to constant adjustment and stays on but there is no wiggle room and it feels a bit tight and does not cover any part of her cheeks pass the mouth.
Another drawback, that I hadn't thought about before is the style has strings that go over your head on top and around your neck at the bottom part of the mask. A mask that goes around our ears can be quickly put on and off if you are outside walking and need fresh air when no one is closer than 6 feet. For the over-the head style that is not an option, you can't take it off and on as quickly. Perhaps if the strings were elastic and did not need tying and untying every time, it would become more efficient to use. I will try to see if I can find elastic string and replace the current fabric ones since I really like the mask itself.
I will definitely buy more but in large size even for the children.

The design of the ties keeps the mask from sliding off a small nose!
Good small mask for a petite woman! I hesitated to buy the small based on the seller's description & others' reviews, but since I'm petite, I took a chance as most typical mask sizes would drown me in fabric. It fits perfectly on me!I also chose this based on having the strap go around the head instead of the ears. Since I don't have much nose bridge (typical for an Asian), when I use a mask that has ear straps, the whole mask keeps sliding down my face, even if there is an adjustable nose wire. I knew that if I could tie one behind my head, it would keep the top of the mask from sliding & this design works well!The 2 layers of fabric are comfortable; there is a pocket to insert a filter; the straps are plenty long; and even without a nose wire, it fits my face without any gaping on the edges. The fabric does not have any stretch.I will say that it's not "truly" reversible since the filter pocket opening will be seen if that side is on the outside. It's just the way the seam was finished where it shows on one side, but not the other. I bought the black*/blue, navy*/cream, and red*/blue. The * is the side that looks seamless if worn on the outside. If one chooses to wear the other side on the outside, you can see the opening of the filter pocket.Lastly, while the mask stays put well, it proves a bit fiddly to put on & take off. Since the top strap isn't tied but goes around the head, one must slide the mask panel up into place while keeping the top strap from sliding down the back of the head. Using the side straps to maneuver helps. I can see where this mask is a great design for someone who needs to wear one longer term without needing to remove it too often.Overall, the small is, indeed, small & would fit children and petite adults. The style, quality, & affordability are spot on.

The strap just slides through the two ends of the mask, so if you'd rather do the tie on top of your head instead of behind the neck, it's easy to reverse the strap orientation. Or, substitute elastic ear loops (the earloop version can be purchased directly from the Levi's website).
Instead of tying, get a "cord lock" toggle (many sellers on amazon; I got colored ones from Sgt. Knots). It's a really tight fit with the single-hole models, though (need a thin metal tool to force both ties through it), but it's possible (see photo). Easier if you get the two-hole model, or find one with a larger hole (mine is 7mm wide). Much more convenient to pull it up tight behind your neck than tying, and the inevitable re-tighten after the mask has been on for a while (or minor tightening/loosening as needed).
Nice mask but smaller than spec and lacks nose wire

Thin material, but very tight weave so it filters well (and can take an insertable filter between the fabric layers. However, as many others have noted on the Levi's site and elsewhere here, the "large" masks are small. See in the photo that the actual vertical dimension is 5.5", not 6.5" as claimed in the specs. I have other masks with a sewn-in under-chin panel that have the same vertical dimension, so it's not unusual. But the Levi's mask do not have nose bridge wires, so the mask won't stay on your nose or under your chin if you try to talk with the mask on. Pretty easy to remedy, as the mask can be turned inside-out and you can sew a wire into the hidden seam.Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2020
