NIOSH Approved N95 Mask Particulate Respirator - Pack of 10 Face Masks - Universal Fit

The media could not be loaded.  Mask is a little too small for my face as I'm putting on the mask it ripped from the bottom near my chin. If the mask was a little bigger it would have been perfect. But I will set recommend this product.

I am sick of products claiming to be NIOSH approved or American N95 standard. Like every other fake KN95 mask, these are made in some tiny town in China Jiangsu province.The instructions are written with broken EnglishThe factory and company and distributor all in ChinaNo NIOSH certificiate or relation to any American companyThere's a massive Omicron wave happening in America right now and these guys decide to sell this stuff.. morally wrong. Buy American made, even if from another website.

I work in healthcare and have to get very close to my patients' faces. I prefer to wear an N95 for ultimate protection but have found all of the ones I've tried in the past to be uncomfortable for various reasons. This mask is by far the most comfy! I can breathe easily. It doesn't hurt my nose. It doesn't move all around when I talk or move my jaw. And the back straps are easy to adjust on back of head. Overall, I am very, very pleased with this mask and have already recommended it to my colleagues!

So I've used more than one N95 mask, for work in healthcare and hobbies (woodworking), which gives me points of comparison. This one doesn't have the stiff shape of others (particularly the round ones and it's a bit goofy looking, but that does not affect comfort at all. I was not sure it would fit my face since I'm a small person, but I had no issues getting a good fit. Compared to other N95 masks I've used, I can say it's got no issue with comfort. The design doesn't crowd the mouth and does well to block pollen and wood dust while doing sanding without feeling too heavy on the face. I'm also sensitive to dust mites and this is good for doing work in the attic. Overall, I think it's a good product. Might not be as heavy duty feeling as the round one I used to use, but it didn't fail in performance and the design folds up nicely for easy storage. Not to be used for soldering electronics (not rated for fumes), but good for all other things. Suitable for larger particulates as previously mentioned.

Do not fit an adult. Gave them to a neighbor who teaches 3rd grade ... didn't fit half of them, either.Shame on the seller. Shame on Amazon for letting them mislead the customers.

I bought this ten pack to have them on hand before wildfire season--last year all n-95s were sold out. Personally for COVID I prefer the kn-95 for comfort, but I prefer these for wildfires or if I was at high risk for COVID exposure. They seem secure, fit well, and for a n-95 feel like the right weight (not so heavy, but heavy enough that you feel like it would work). Adding a couple to my disaster prep bags and then keeping them for fire season so I can safely go outside.

It may be just me, but the pressure on my nose and nostrils makes it impossible to breath. The minute I put it on, my nose starts running and breathing in the existing air within is hot and steamy. The pocket should be deeper instead of pressing up against your nose - just slight, not enough room. I've tried, but I hate them. They may work for those with slight facial features, but for me, it's torture - will be giving them away.

The straps are short, resulting in an uncomfortable, nearly air-tight fit which greatly reduces oxygen intake while trapping exhaled carbon dioxide. Human breath is 93 degrees Fahrenheit (34 Celsius). That's how hot these masks become, causing moisture to condense on your face. The fabric blocks air from entering or being expelled. I held a piece against my mouth but could not extinguish a small Bic lighter flame one inch away no matter how hard I blew. The only workaround is to open the nose clamp wide enough to allow air, and perhaps viral particles, to enter and exit through an unprotected crack. An air valve would have made a world of difference.NIH Library of Medicine reports a significant difference in head shape proportions between Chinese and Caucasian, Black and Hispanic populations. The distance between the chin cup and nose clamp is short, making conversation difficult. These Chinese masks were clearly not designed for Western heads.
