What is the difference between the 1860/1860S and the 1870?

3M offers two models of respirators approved by NIOSH as an N95 respirator: the 1860 model (also available as 1860S small) and the 1870 model. The 1860 is a traditional cup shaped respirator where as the 1870 is a three-fold, flat panel respirator. The 1870 provides the benefits of a cup-style product with the convenience of the flat-fold products. Both the 1860/1860S and the 1870 have two elastic headbands (latex free) and a malleable nose clip and foam strip to help provide a secure, customized fit for a broad range of face shapes and sizes.
