The adjustable spectacle kit includes a bracket attached to the interior surface of the mask, a lug attached to the bracket, and spectacles connected with the lug. In one aspect, the bracket defines a slot for holding the lug. In one aspect, the slot is elongated in an anteroposterior direction. In one aspect, a resilient elastomeric grommet is inserted in the slot, and the grommet frictionally engages the lug.
