I am vigilant about wearing masks during the covid pandemic. I had 4 N95s from previous home improvement projects at the start of the pandemic, now it is December and they are all used up. Looking for replacements, I saw these and liked the looks of them. They arrived today, and so far I’m well pleased. I have a medium size head. I gave some to my dear neighbors who likewise have medium size heads and they were highly impressed. The front of the mask is well off my nose and mouth, making talking and vigorous breathing easier. The seal around the edges of the mask seem tight and secure, even around the nose (I wear glasses, and recommend wearing the mask high on the bridge of the nose and using glasses to help secure the upper seal). My glasses fog some, slightly less than with the N95s, but it’s a function of wearing cold glasses next to water vapor in a northern Michigan winter. I’m unused to ear loops, but I expect I’ll adjust. The ear loops seem snug. There was a faint “new mask” smell, it was tolerable and quickly disappeared. I like that black hides grime well (my trusty N95s, once white, are not any more). These are true 5-layer masks, good fit, good price. I will heat sanitize, and put several in rotation, to extend their functional usefulness. With some luck, 5 of these will see me through to vaccination (I have a strong background in physiology, molecular biology and immunology, I would take either of the first two approved vaccines without hesitation) and until the “all clear” is given. Good luck y’all, god bless, and see you downrange.
