Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Here's the deal, I started out 2020 with 3 or 4 N95 3M masks I used for car work. Things have changed...we are now in a situation where I am Googling "how to make face masks". Maybe that brought you to this listing as well. I tried my best to get detailed pics of what other reviews are complaining about with regards to holes being present in the surface material. I've worn the first 3M N95 mask until it was shedding fibers. I need an alternative for quick trips to the store. These are available. Here we are. Are they perfect? No. If worn correctly do they do a decent job? Yes. They DO NOT have "holes" in them like other reviewers suggested. They have clear portions from the polyethylene layers being heat treated so the layers stick together; this is normal production for these. Was it off-putting at first, yes. But these masks have standard production measures that are in line with NIOSH standards from what I can tell. PLUS, they don't smell like the armpit section of your old shirts. Subjective review: -I wore one while going on a run, it's harder to breathe than with no mask -Was I happy I had this one on when I saw other folks wearing nothing? Yes. -The mask "sucks" in when I am breathing in and it's secured over my ears, nose piece bent appropriately -The mask vents out the sides/bridge when I am breathing out Objectively: -I typically wear both N95 "valved" and P100 North (also valved) full respirator with protective glasses on. I do not notice the glasses fogging up with either of those, however, I do notice some fogging while wearing this mask with the same glasses in similar conditions -Only conclusion I can draw is my expiration is causing the glasses to fog up when I exhale -I find myself adjusting this one some, but my scalp and ears are not uncomfortable as with the 3M N95 Again, are they perfect? No. I think they do a batter job than most homemade masks I see newscasters wearing. I think you'll be happy with your purchase in a time of need as long as you are okay with the above.
