Handanhy HY8220 (x20) NR D Premium Disposable Respirator - Non-Valved FFP2 Face Mask - CE Marked Certified & Tested by BSI, Individually Wrapped (Pack of 20)

This is my favourite brand of masks, and we've tried quite a few. Much more comfortable to have the elastic around the back of the head than the ears. We've worn these on several flights, including transatlantic ones. Not as comfortable as no mask, but much better than the others.

Comes wrapped so can pop these in your pocket . They fit well so safe for us.

These are FFP2 certified masks, so you know that they're going to be some serious stuff which offers far higher protection compared to standard surgical masks. The straps are comfortable and they offer a decent seal on your face (although this can be compromised by facial hair).The big thing with masks is whether or not they are valved. A valved mask is far more comfortable and doesn't cause your glasses to steam up as easily. However, a valved mask protects you from the outside, but doesn't protect others from you. So if you know that you're contagious, then you won't be protecting others by wearing a valved mask.An unvalved mask is the opposite of above. It is not as comfortable, it can get sweaty and will cause your glasses to steam up. However, they protect others from you, so if you know you're contagious or you're unsure and are visiting vulnerable people, at least you know that you're unlikely to give them anything.Overall, I think if you're looking for an unvalved mask, then these are pretty good, although they are kind of expensive when other FFP2 masks on amazon are cheaper, so I've dropped a star because of this.

Very pleased with these masks and how quickly they arrived. They are a comfortable and secure fit. The look and feel is of very high quality compared to others I have used. Great masks and will order again.

The mask seems to be built well enough to do the job, however the size is very small if you are a large person (six feet tall). The elastic straps are short for me, so they pull very strongly on my ears, and the mask itself also feels short, barely reaching from my nose to my chin.I would suggest buying the so-called aura or fish-shape masks which fit much more comfortably, such as these I have used in the past: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09NRCNSGK/I bought these for a flight since I needed fast delivery, and ended up having to wear a surgical mask OVER this mask to hold it in place, because it was so uncomfortable I could not wear it with the ear loops.

Just could be a little less expensive

So far three of these masks have snapped as I put them on. The elastic is very weak at the point where it joins the mask. And because of the over-the-head design of these masks, the elastic is almost guaranteed to snap if you have a large head.Really unimpressed given the price of these.

Seemed good value masks and from a reputed provider. However in my opinion don't really provide a good seal, particularly around nose. Also feel ear loops are not a good idea, they can't generate force to pull a mask tight to the face and create a seal, personally I feel only masks with loops that go around the head can be effective, also require tight elastic or straps that are adjustable for tightness. Better than a surgical mask, decent value but masks that provide a proper seal seem to be at least £3 each. Have found most in this price range are not a good fit to face.
