GIKO N95 Respirator Masks - 15Pcs NIOSH Certified Safety Masks Cup Particulate Respirator Mask with Breathing Valve for Adult, Men, Women, White

I bought these N95 masks for use in case of smoke or particulate matter in the air. They aren’t designed to protect anyone but the person wearing the mask. A central release valve makes exhaling easier. They are well-made, fit me well—I am a woman with a small face. In the distant past, the HEPA filter masks, used for a variety of dusty industrial applications, made by 3M, were a poor fit for my face. I would have to cinch the mask tightly to get a good seal, which cut into the bridge of my nose. More enlightened design has gone into both the N95 and some of the HEPA filter masks, making them reasonably comfortable for women to wear. Sahara desert sand is blowing through just now, in Austin, Texas, making the use of either wraparound sunglasses or goggles good ideas for eye protection, and depending on the severity of exposure—dust, smoke, etc.—I am happy to have both the N95 masks, and a HEPA filter mask, available. The N95 would be far more comfortable during the extreme heat wave. I hope conditions don’t require using the HEPA a filter mask—but I have it, just in case. In a City of nearly a million people, an evacuation could take a long time.

I'm always needing one or two of these on short notice at a job site and paying retail at the box store. Sick of prices at lowes & Home Depot, I found these. They are absolutely equal to the 3m or whatever brand I'm sold @the retail store for $7-$13.... These are like $2 each? THAT'S what a disposable item should cost. These are GOOD, THICK and i dont feel like i need to save them in my truck to re-use (which never works out).

Keeping a supply on hand is a great idea, so happens they came in handy during the recent conflagration here in LA.

Fitness is good easy to put on. Good breathing.

Great mask, excellent quality and nice snug fit. The elastic bands keep the mask in place and are much sturdier than the rubber band type that were on my last mask. The nose piece has foam padding underneath for a comfortable fit. Very satisfied with this mask. Highly recommended.

The mask work well ,and I am very happy with the way it fits. Got my order in 2 days.

Most important feature is the valve, which makes it easy to exhale but closes when inhaling. Mask fits snugly and includes a metal clip that bends to fit over your nose. I am fully confident it meets N95 standards for inhaling, which is the thing I care most about since most people don't wear anything on public transportation. Only drawback is they don't fold flat.

Decent quality but only for children or very small faced adults. Just a tiny cup that barely covers nose and mouth. The pictures in the listing are deceiving and definitely not the masks that arrived. Not worth returning so I will just have to try a different brand. If we have a smoky summer here in the west, I will donate these to our community center for their children's camps and programs.
