I am immune compromised so masks whenever I am out and about are mandatory. Because I wear them so much and so long they have to be comfortable. I'm also a nurse so I know that they have to be N95 in order to be effective. I have used 3M in industry and also my preference personally. They fit my face well, have a good seal and known quality.

I'm pretty happy with this order. I received my order quickly, the price was quite reasonable and the quality if the masks are very good. It fits perfect. The only complaint I have, which is kind of a big one, the masks have a horrible, horrible chemical smell. I've never smelled anything with a worst smell. It's rotten!Being in northern California, our air quality is really bad from the wildfires. I tried to find N95 or N100 masks locally with no success. The stores here are all sold out and on backorder. At least these masks were here right away and seem to be keeping the smoke out. I went with 3M thinking it's a quality brand.I'd recommend these masks as long as you're not too sensitive to odors.

Used these before. Order was easy and I received the package in a neat well sized box, not an oversized box or a paper container.

The vent in front is great. Fog up on my glasses is gone. What else is there to say, it’s 3M product don’t go cheap when you protect your lungs.

These mask are too small. The rubber band that goes around the back of my neck is so tight that I almost passed out from wearing one. It's stapled, so there's no way to make it longer. I could cut string holes in the mask and put a string on it, but then the mask would have holes in it.

My standard for years for greatly reducing inhaled dust. Simple, fairly comfortable. Elastic bands usually don't break before you're ready to discard the mask.Note: if you want to stop an airborne virus you need a space suit or a level 5 clean room!

I was looking for N95 and NIOSH approved rating when looking for these masks at my local home improvement stores However, all of them ran out of it because of the bad smoke within the area. That is when I turned to Amazon. I settled on these because they not only did the job but had the Valve to make breathing a little easier.To get a sense of how bad smoke was in my area, it was above 300 Air Quality Index (AQI). Anything above 300 is considered hazardous.Use:The mask is pretty simple to put on. There are two straps to ensure a tight fit. In order to put it on, make sure the metal part is on top and make sure you have a secure fit. It takes only a few second to put on. You then put the straps one above the year and then one around the neck area. The seal is tight but not uncomfortable. I had used N95 masks before NIOSH approved but those didn't have the cool valve. The valve helped breathing much easier. Previously, on other N95 masks, I didn't want to wear it for too long and found myself taking it off because it got too hot and made breathing kind of hard. However, with this product, it wasn't too bad and I let it stay on my face for the whole duration I was outside (couple of hours) with no problem.Overall, I recommend this product if you have to be or live around wild fire smoke. It is much better for your health then having to breath in all those particles, especially if the AQI is above 300. Overall, 5 stars and this product is much better than those without the cool valve because this helps with better breathing.
