Nationwide Paper FFP3 20 Particulate Respirator Face Mask, 6-Layer High Filtration Capacity Individually Packed in PE Bag Certified EU Directive EN149:2001+A1:2009, CE 0370 (1)

While I generally prefer filtering masks/respirators with head loops, as they make a snugger seal for higher risk situations, it's very handy to have some ear loop ones as they pop on so quickly.With all masks, it's what works for you personally that matters, since we all have different face shapes and sizes. It took me a fair amount of trial and error, but this is the one that fits me, when others were too long and loose.It's also a good quality: FFP3, which is a high standard of filtration. So much better than surgical masks, which are not designed to filter. (More comfortable, too, as it doesn't keep touching your mouth)

Masks are individually wrapped as described and look like sellers photos. They are individually stamped with EN149:2001+A1:2009 FFP3 NR, so should reach the EU standard minimum filtration of 99% and a maximum leakage of 2% to the inside.Ear loops are elastic I have worn for two hour straight so far and are not uncomfortable for me. The loops are not very long so may not fit all head shapes as well.Face shapes are different and mask fit is key. These work for my face and some of my family but may not work for yours. You may need to try masks from several manufacturers to get a good fit. Check for air leakage around the mask when you breath in and out. If there is any you will need to try a different style or manufacturer of mask.

As described, individually wrapped, nice size for the face however..... the straps are far too small.Bought for a sightseeing trip to London to give more protection than my home made masks but they made our ears really sore when wearing for just a short amount of time. Had to persevered as we didn't have an alternative option. I have a long face and need a large mask but my husband and 12 year old don't and we all suffered. We have used half the box so unable to return but doubt we will use the remainder.

These are great masks. They fit well and are comfortable for long periods of time. They provide good protection at a reasonable price. The flimsy, blue surgical masks are not sufficient. Covid is still very much with us and on the rise again. It is not the same as a cold or 'flu. It is much more dangerous. There is no such thing as long cold or long 'flu. I'm now clinically vulnerable thanks to Covid. I don't go anywhere indoors without wearing a well-fitting, good quality mask e.g. FFP2/N95 though I prefer FFP3/N99, like this one. These masks provide good protection when worn correctly and continuously. Wouldn't be without one!

The product is more comfortable to wear than other FFP3 masks I have tried as it's not too tight around the ears so if you have to wear for a few hours, you're not left with sore ears. Each mask also arrives individually wrapped which is more hygienic. It seems to be a quality product, I feels safer for wearing a higher level of protection and I would say it's good value for what you pay.As well as wearing the product in shops, cinemas, public transport etc. I have also used the mask when participating in indoor exercise classes where the ventilation is poor and distancing is not possible. I would recommend this product and would purchase again.

Works well once you mould the nose band around the top of your nose. Have resided the same mask over and over. Very durable. No strap breakages. Straps are on the short side and so feel like they are tight behind your ears which I suppose gives a tight seal for the face mask. No complaints wearing the mask for some hours. Good filtration.

We find these masks a bit uncomfortable if wearing them for more than 10 minutes. The elastic pulls on your ears. If the elastic was a bit longer then they would be more comfortable. Would be good for kids or people with smaller heads.

I feel so safe with a FFPP mask which protects me as well as others. It was comfortable and had a safe close fitting around the nose and chin. Breathing was comfortable. I added a plastic visor to protect my eyes and felt absolutely safe. I have a traumatic heart condition but felt secure enough in this mask to enter a Boots store for some essential items. I will not go anywhere without this excellent FFPP3 top standard , comfortable mask. Thank you for a reasonably priced product which I received so quickly. Menna Age 85yrs
