Comfortable to wear, nice colour and nice material. very happy. people look at me in Aldi or Asda when I am there minding my own business wearing my mask, but I feel safer. we all have to do what we can. Thank you to this British Company. It is nice to not have to buy from overseas all the time. Ths is a well made product and I recommend it. Maybe not the most protective mask- I think it is fair to say we all need at least a 3 ply mask, but this is absolutely better than nothing and will give you some protection, if you follow the advice in how you take it off and clean it. (I have a hand steamer around £12, as I suffer from allergic asthma and so use this to clean surfaces ie bedding). and of course still being careful not to touch your face with your hands etc. but I feel this is helping me.

I love this mask. It is very well-made, comfortable to wear, and I love the feel of the fabric. However, don't forget that this is a beautiful dust mask. It is lovely and comfortable to wear when cleaning, but I would not feel safe wearing the mask in the hopes of protecting me from a virus. Because of its design, it fits quite loosely and it is only 2 slim layers - outer faux sued and cotton lining. Washes well and still looks good, but the elastic strap does become a little loose after a couple of washes - easily fixed with a knot. Overall, I could not in all honesty recommend this mask to anyone looking for anti-virus protection, but it is not meant for that. Wear it as a dust mask and enjoy it.

More of a dust mask than anything medical obviously but it’s well made, fits nicely just a bit overpriced for what it is. Sign of the times I guess. Delivered fairly promptly with good communication

This is a nicely made soft fabric mask, washable and comfortable. It fits well, though it does not seal onto the face and is neither medical grade nor industrial grade (and does not claim to be), but it would stop droplets spreading out from coughs and sneezes. Useful as a light form of protection and will not compete with or take away stock from the PPE needed by hospital and care workers. I’ve bought two so that I can swop them into the washing after I’ve been out shopping. I rather wish I’d bought more. I like that it’s made in the U.K. Getting surgical masks from China is unworkable and if they arrive at all there’s no guarantee of quality. If bought direct, there’s a good choice of colours.

These are a good size, suitable for all adults and comfortable to wear. They are very well made with two layers of material, outer a soft faux suede type material and inner cotton liner. I think they would be just as effective as the basic surgical type masks people wear, but much harder wearing and obviously, washable. They don't have a nose clip but neither do the cheap surgical masks. Glasses do steam up though, but this would happen with all masks which don't have a proper face seal.

OK, so this is well made and coming from the UK, arrives in a couple of days. It is not a FFP3 mask which would be needed to filter out COVID-19 but FFP3 masks are hard to use, hard to breath in and require regular filter replacement. For men, they need to be used within 2h of a shave. It is not a FFP2 mask either, but they also need replacement filters regularly and won't filter the virus anyway so no better than this. This mask should help reduce the amount of virus the wearer coughs out, and it is hoped would reduce the viral load getting in by keeping larger droplets from a cough or sneeze at bay or preventing accidental mouth/nose touching. An infection started with a higher viral load is said to be a possible factor in getting a severe case of COVID-19, so this may be worth wearing. Please note, my logic above has come from watching BBC News and is just explaining my reasoning. I suggest you take note of proper news sources to develop your own thinking as I have done. Please also note this mask only has a single layer of lining, not a double lining as stated in the product title on Amazon (at time of posting). One star lost for that. Also, the picture is poor. In reality this is a standard triple pleat design and fits well.

I don't think my head is larger than normal. But this mask when worn painfully pulled my ears forward. Sadly I have cursed with big ears to start with. Coupled with a generously proportioned nose as well while wearing this mask I looked like a muffled Dumbo preparing for lift-off. I was relatively certain my weight would have kept me tethered to the ground but I think any high wind situation would have resulted in instability that would have made navigating even the widest of footpaths an issue. As such, I decided to return the item. What makes this irksome is having to pay a percentage of the postage to return the item. I would understand the issue if I were returning the mask just because, or I didn't like the design or something. But I was returning it because it simply didn't fit. The description says the mask will need stretching but realistically no amount of stretching was going to make this mask fit my head. As such, I was returning it based on fitness for purpose. I don't believe I should be penalised for the product not being fit for purpose. Only buy this mask if you are certain that you or the intended recipient's head is smaller than average or you are prepared to pay the cost to find out.

The facemask didn't look anything like the photo advertised on amazon which is misleading (mine was the same as other reviewers that gave it less stars), it was a small amount of blue suedette material used, no air filter, I wear glasses so they steam up with mask on, I feel it was overpriced, it was the only uk one available on amazon, unable to return at the time as I was unwell in isolation then. I really wanted to use the mask when I was well again. If you add an air filter, then the price could perhaps be more in line. Only good point about the mask is its machine washable.
