A p100 with an exhalation valve. I use a gvs eclipse because it looks the most "normal" and is light so it's comfortable for long stretches. Got it at Lee Valley, have seen them on Amazon.

Edit: you won't be protecting others with this mask, I'm not worried about that because I live like a hermit. If you are then follow @TrashGoblin@hexbear.net's advice

I gave up on source control years ago. People can figure their own shit out, I can't help them in the current "covid isn't real" paradigm.

There's a source control version of the Eclipse with no exhalation valve. One could also just cover the exhalation valve with either something impermeable or the electrostatic filtration layer scavenged from a medical mask or respirator if needed.

Other elastomerics that are popular these days:

MSA Advantage (speech diaphragm, with source control)

3M Secure Click (speech diaphragm, great feature where it auto-seal checks for you, no source control)

Honeywell RU8500 (speech diaphragm, no source control)

FloMask (low profile, good speech audibility, source control)

EnvoMask (low profile, source control)

Not sure if you were talking about this one but the GVS Elipse I use (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B095YC3ZD5) has no exhalation valve! It fits small faces and is pretty comfortable for long use cases, only issue is it gets wet from all the humidity so when I'm done with it I use a paper towel to carefully wick out all the water and then air it out.
