I am so glad to have these. I feel very safe wearing one. They fit snugly as they should but are comfortable and light. I plan to use them for travel and I will feel very safe I like that they have space in the front and not up against my mouth. They are easy to breathe in. I’m grateful that high-quality NIOSH N95s are available. I’d buy these again. I had to fly this week and wore this mask in then crowded airport and on the plane. It gave me a sense of security and was comfortable to wear. I like that the bands go around my head because my ears didn’t hurt after wearing the mask for over five hours of travel. I definitely recommend these and will continue to use them.

I’ve been using the N95 face masks for the past week. I think it’s great and it’s made in US. The face masks are of great quality and create a nice seal when used. The material is breathable as well. The typical face mask loops around your ears. After a long-wear, it can put a strain on your ears and jawline. The 2 loops on this face mask wrap around your neck and around your neck and over your ears. It creates less strain on your ears and jawline. When not being used, you can lower it and it’s almost like a handkerchief that you can raise and lower. The only issue if that is that you see 2 loops on the back of your head. For me, it’s not an issue. But this was mentioned by a female friend as a reason for not liking it. I think the benefits outweigh the aesthetics of wearing it. Overall, it’s an excellent product that offers N95 filtering and protection, creates a tight yet comfortable seal, and it’s great quality.

These vertical-fold N95 respirators offer the best compromise between comfort and convenience. I found them to be more comfortable than the horizontal-fold respirators, though slightly snugger than the vertical-fold ear-loop masks. The trade off is due to the N95 rating of these, which is a good thing (vs KN95 with the ear-loop style). The snugger fit ensures that you get a good seal around your face. The head bands offer a better, albeit tighter, attachment. Putting them on is tricky at first as you have to pass both headbands over your head. After several uses, though, it’s very easy to put on and take off. And, again, any slight inconvenience is outweighed by the extra protection these certified N95 respirators offer. The fact that they’re made right here in the USA is a nice bonus and I know many may prefer these to those made elsewhere.

Received this via snail mail, it was shipped not too long after purchased. The mask itself feels thick and good quality. I purchased similar looking masks form them rated KN 95, however you can tell these were made from a different material. ear loops are comfortable, only gripe with these masks were the smell. I would rate thee 4.5 out of 5 compared to other masks on market.

Took this on the flight, along with my old blue face mask. Now with restrictions being lifted, we were seated right next to each other. Full flight. I was in the middle seat. I first tried this mask with the thought that if It was uncomfortable, or breathing got difficult, then I would switch out to my old blue mask. American Airlines required that mask be left for the full duration of the flight. FAA had already required me to put on the mask as soon as I entered the airport. Needless to say, this mask was on my face for many many many hours. I’m SO glad the straps went behind my head and not around my ears, as this made my ears not burn with the elastic tugging on it; the mask stayed on wonderfully, and I was able to breathe through it wonderfully too. Only thing is that because of the natural fold in the mask, I had to bend and adjust it quite a bit to fit well around my nose so that my glasses would not fog; but once done, it was great. No more glass fogging.

This is mask type is a hybrid between the typical bi-fold earloop masks and behind-the-head respirators. I like the filtration ratings.
I have found that straps that wrap around your head are best for prolonged (all day) use as the ear loop ones cause fatigue very quickly when tight enough to actually produce a real seal. This has the typical fabric straps. They are okay. The first mask I used had a strap break free from the mask. I was not stretching it abnormally.
The size of the mask is good and comfortable on my large head.
Your glasses will fog to a great degree however even at regular temperatures. I was unable to get a good seal no matter how much I tried. Some of my adjustments worked, but if the temperature was colder, my glasses would have fogged much more. The nose wire seems fine. This mask just doesn’t work for my application.
Overall, fairly typical. Do not recommend if you wear glasses. Go with the duckbill kind from this vendor or find a washable silicone mask.

This is clearly a high-quality product. First of all, I like that it’s made in the USA, so I know that standards are adhered to. Second, the material is very soft and comfortable. Third, the elastic bands seem more flexible than most masks I’ve tried so they easily fit over my head but also hold the mask snugly (but not too tightly). Finally, the metal insert in the nosepiece is more substantial than in other masks I’ve tried so it keeps its shape well once it conforms to my nose. Probably the best all-around mask I’ve used.

The mask provides a good seal around the face and the straps that go around the back of the head are more comfortable than the straps that tug on your ear. The fabric is soft and the mask doesn’t dig into your face like the round ones that are kind of hard. After wearing these for some time, your face is not sore. After some fiddling with the metal strip around the nose, I got it set so that it did not blow air in my eyes while exhaling. The strip took a bit of working as its a bit stiff, but that’s a good thing. My only real complaint is the bottom point where it is seamed together down the front center of the mask is a bit sharp. When taking off the mask if you are not careful it might scratch your face.
I also like that they are a product of the United States and are approved by the NOISH.

These come folded in half, so that there was a point and no complete seal at the top of the bridge of the nose – could see fog/breath coming up on my glasses. (Only reason for 4 stars.) Anyone have experience with these – know know how to fit this area better? Otherwise, lightweight, comfortable and seal is very good and appreciate the head band style.
