3M Filtering Barrier Face Covering, AFFM-5, One Size, 5-Pack

Just as expected... if you buy a 3M brand, it's top notch! These are WAY better than the 10 pack of cheap N95 masks I bought from a hardware store and spent the same amount. The cheap ones I bought, you were limited to how many times you could put it on and take it off during a flight. I ended up breaking the string off the cheap one on two masks. On my flight back, I had these 3M brand masks and these were so well made that I wanted to reuse it again but the proper use for these is to toss them once you have used them on one flight. These masks are breathable, sides are sealed snug enough against your face and you voice will not be that muffled when you talk. Each mask does come with one very small "S" attachment on the elastic that goes around the ears so if the mask fits loosely, you can clip the ear loops closer behind your head. I saw a picture of this somewhere on the internet and it's one of the reasons why I bought this one. It was somewhat comfortable. I have a pretty big head and I am a bit chunky so the mask fit pretty snug where I did need to take the pressure off my ears during my flight. If you have a skinny or not so chubby face, I think these will fit very comfortably.

These masks have an excellent seal. I feel safe while wearing them. They fold up nice and flat.

Fits well. Not easy to get that perfect fit so that your glasses don't fog up, but it's alright.

Best mask out there. With the option to clip the sting behind your head you get a much better seal, too.

Essential

This product is advertised as "comfortable and snug fitting mask that provides excellent protection."But goodness - its tight fitting, binds your ears, and costs more than an N95.The protection level seems fine - but they have taken a KN95 "Earloop Mask" that the package shows it was made in Singapore, added this thing call an "s-hook" that over-stretches the Earloops around the back of your head, making the mask very tight & it puts pressure on the top of your ears = uncomfortable to wear. Tried to wear this when flying last week - and I lasted about 30 minutes before I had to change into a backup mask.. When combined with the premium pricing vs other masks and even N95's - very disappointing purchase and much higher expectations from a brand like 3M.

I really trust the 3M brand and can always count on being properly protected when wearing their face protection. Even though I only needed these AFFM masks for clearing out a 10' x 10' storage space, I wanted to be properly protected because I hadn't visited the unit in 24 years and didn't know what to expect as far as dust and condition of boxes and furniture after so long.Luckily, the space had minimal dust and all the items in storage were still boxed with zero damage over the years. No bugs or rodents and minimal dust. The packing tape was the only thing I had to replace when re-boxing and moving the stuff out of state.PLUS, knowing I was fully protected by these 3M masks made it easy to concentrate on clearing out the space without worrying about invisible particles getting into my lungs. This purchase had 5 masks--enough protection for two people over 3 full days working out of the storage facility. Most of the packs have 20 or more respirators in the packages. Five masks/respirators were perfect for 2 people.

The masks will last several wears before you toss them. I wear a cloth cover over the top and it helps keep them clean and my glasses from fogging. They are constructed well and dose not irritate my face. Has a an adjustable nose clip .Highly recommend.
