We are not just another mask brand. We are a family-owned company from Burnsville, Minnesota, built on real problems, real people, and a relentless commitment to innovation. We believe clean air should never be a luxury. It should be accessible to everyone.

The RZ Story

In 2010, after a long day on the trails, I looked back to check on my 4 young boys. Although they were covered from head to toe in protective gear, their faces were covered in dirt. My heart sank as I realized their little lungs were breathing in all my dust. When I got home, I searched the internet for dust masks only to find bandanas and paper masks. I was determined to find something better, but I couldn’t. With a little research and determination, I created the RZ Mask exclusively for the powersports world.

Designed to be more comfortable and less restrictive than traditional paper masks, RZ Mask quickly became a must-have for all powersports enthusiasts. The unique filtration mask provided the perfect balance of protection and comfort while still allowing riders to breathe freely and enjoy their sport. With rave reviews from media outlets like Dirt Rider Magazine, RZ Mask firmly established itself as the leader in powersports filtration.

Fueled by customer feedback and our commitment to innovation, we quickly expanded our product line to include masks for a wide range of uses, from woodworking to landscaping to farming and public safety. We also developed a comprehensive line of replacement filters that are tailored to specific uses like sanding, woodworking and allergies. Today, RZ Mask is the go-to source for air filtration masks and replacement filters that provide clean air on any outdoor adventure. Using our powerful filtration technology, we are helping people all over the world enjoy their favorite activities with less worries about breathing in unwanted dust, pollen and other particles.

With our commitment to innovation and customer service, RZ Mask is building a better future for everyone. We are proud to offer products that make outdoor activities more enjoyable and keep air clean for all. Today we’re still an independent, family business that continues to expand the air filtration solutions we offer as well as give back to communities around the world to help more people in more ways breathe safer and live their best life. Whether you’re taking on a big project or just hanging around the house, RZ Mask has the perfect filtration mask for you. Thank you for being part of the RZ Mask family. Let’s keep breathing clean air together!

Thank you!
– Steve Torbenson, Founder & President of RZ Mask.

The Breakthrough

The RZM3 Mask solved the #1 problem across the industry: fit and comfort variance. With interchangeable ear, head, and neck strap configurations, the RZM3 adapts to each user rather than forcing the user to adapt to the mask.

Return rates dropped to nearly zero. Comfort and fit scores reached new industry standards.

Where We Are Now: The RZ Pro Era

Today, RZ Mask leads the next generation of respiratory protection with the RZ Pro Mask Series, including our FFP2 and FFP3 certified respirators.

These masks are:

  • CE marked
  • Independently lab tested
  • Designed for near-perfect fit on a wide range of face shapes
  • Proven to outperform disposable masks in breathability, seal, and usability

During fit testing, where a score of 100 is considered passing, our masks have achieved scores exceeding 800, including users with facial hair. This level of performance is nearly unheard of in reusable respirators.

Mongolia Impact Story

We provided:

  • 3,000 masks to expectant mothers
  • 3,000 masks to children
  • And later an additional 14,000 masks across at-risk communities

This is why we do this work.
This is who we are.
