LotFancy N95 Mask for Adults, NIOSH Particulate Respirator, N95 Face Mask for Construction, Cleaning, Sanding, Dust Pollution

Some folks complaining about comfort have a good point. These can be harder to breathe through because they have a single in and out vent. Some of the ones with two vents (one for in and one for out) work better but overall, an N95 is never going to be "easy" to breath through unless you get a half or full face version with much larger area to pull in air.That said here are a few tricks to make it more comfortable:1. If it is too loose, add a knot in the elastic about a half inch from the end. That will tighten them right up.2. If you're getting chaffing, a little lotion is ok, just don't ruin the mask integrity.3. These filter out a lot of contaminants but are NOT for vapor or gasses. Carbon monoxide etc will get right through it. Use appropriately.4. Make sure you only use these once and for no more than ~6-8 hours per day. They get saturated and can no longer protect you as effectively.5. A good fit means you are only breathing in air through the filter and out through the filter, you should not be getting air around on your cheeks or around your chin, no leaks! Pull it tighter if needed, otherwise why bother wearing an N95?I use mine for dusty environments where I know what the dust is, like saw dust and brake dust. N95 are NOT rated for asbestos or lead. Keep that in mind.

Helps when cleaning and organizing the basement. Provides additional protection from dust and mold.

Mixed thoughts.These are comfortable and effective valve masks.They are individually wrapped, which is great for some use casesThe attachment on strap means they are easy on and easy off with no pressure on your ears.The issue is that that strap attachment cuts the strap. You take this on and off say 10 times and it will cut the strap. I wore one for international travel, but only when close to people like security line and on plane. But off in airports. One mask only lasted one day of flights. If the attachment was just more rounded on edge it would be fine

As advertised. Quality mask (thick), but as breathable as masks can be. I like the adjustable clip for behind the head. Much better than strapping it on your ears or top and bottom of head.

I've tried several masks, and am one of the few people who have avoided COVID so far, despite being a lot more social than the one other person I know who has avoided it. My intention with this mask was to have something with an exhaust valve, that I could wear during high-intensity indoor sports. Since I'm more careful than average, and no one else is masking, it didn't seem like an ethical issue to have an exhaust valve mask. However, my primary intention of reducing moisture inside the mask has not been met; they are about equivalent to the 3M Aura (the version without an exhaust valve). The Aura is a bit weirder looking, takes longer to don (put on), but is overall more comfortable (the foam and mask in general is less scratchy). And the Aura's are less than half the price. So while I am grateful there are other options, and ones which appear to have thick, presumably good quality filtration material (given its N95 certification), I can't recommend these; the Aura is simply superior.

Price point is there! these disposable masks are what's needed for shop work.Good value.

This works well for dusty construction sites. I also use this mask when I'm sharpening in the back of my van at dog groomers. The grinding dust coming off my machine is made of aluminum oxide and I really don't want to be breathing that stuff in 8-10 hours a day, 7 days a week. I used to use a rubber mask, but it gets so hot wearing it, these while still it gets hot on my face is no where as uncomfortable as that rubber mask did.

I am disappointed to have purchased this item. Not only is it too tight on the face, the straps do not adjust as it states. In fact, when I tried to adjust the straps of the mask, it broke, once at home when I did a test run, and then another time when I wore it for work today. I proceeded to try one more time, with another mask, but the same problem occured. Please do NOT spend your money on these masks. They are not worth the money due to that faulty problem, but also they are very tight and uncomfortable. On to the next mask now I guess...
