A respirator 10 that includes a harness 12 and a mask body 14. The harness 12 has one or more straps 21 and a head cradle 16 that is joined to the one or more straps 21 and that includes first and second laterally-extending members 18, 20 and a latch 26. The latch 26 is able to secure the laterally-extending members 18, 20 in a spaced apart first open position to allow for placement on a persons head and is able to disengage so that the members 18, 20 can move to a second collapsed position to allow for off-the-face storage. The harness is beneficial in that it can be quickly removed from the wearers head and can be conveniently disposed behind the wearers neck when the wearer wants to temporarily displace the mask body from their face.
