Shawmut Protex™ N95 Mask, Made in the USA NIOSH Approved, Particulate Respirators, Protective Face Mask for Dust, Construction, Medical, 1 Pack of 20 (Approval Number TC-84A-9295 / Model SR9520)

I don't know how you did it, but it FITS!!! Over the years, I’ve worn masks to keep me safe doing DIY projects and more recently for COVID. It did not matter which brand I used, they just never fit me properly. The masks were either too tight or too loose, and I was constantly having to adjust the mask, nose clip or straps. The material was rough and irritated my skin. When I tried the Shawmut N95, I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the mask is and how easy it is to breathe through. The nose foam is very comfortable and the material is not abrasive, at all. Also, when I wear this mask, my glasses don't fog up like they have done so many times with other products I have used. Now I can actually work on my projects without having to stop to make adjustments to the mask. Best part of wearing this mask, I actually forgot that I had it on, it is that comfortable.

I’ve tried a ton of N 95 masks and this is by far the best. It seals snuggly to my face, but without being so tight it’s uncomfortable. It’s also easy to breathe through and lightweight so it doesn’t get too hot like so many others. The company says that it’s because of the special design they have for the flange, the shape, the special straps they use, and the super soft memory foam seals around your nose. In general, I prefer mess with the cup design, because they don’t press against my lips and face so it’s easier to talk, and I don’t wind up with sweaty wet fabric touching my skin.Also, my family and I have discovered that you can easily convert these masks to an ear loop design for situation‘s where there isn’t that much risk, and you need an easy way to take the mask on and off. Because of how stretchy the straps are, even when they’re held on by ear loops, the seal seems pretty good, and much better than the KN95’s we’ve tried. To do this, we just cut the head straps and then tie the top and bottom together on each side of the mask to create the ear loops.

Nice small , good fit . Elastic just a touch tooootight , not much though

Great price. Well made durable. Thicker than some, but i like it. Plus made in USA

This N95 mask is the best quality mask I have used. I have had zero issues with it fogging up my glasses like the KN95 masks do and I have comfortably worn it through airplane, train and bus trips. I received a few from a friend and wore them when I flew back to the Midwest last spring. A few weeks ago my husband and I took train to a Dodger game with family members. We religiously wore ours on the train, on the stadium bus and in the restrooms, since I am being extra careful due to some health issues and many of our friends were coming down with Omicron. My BIL and SIL (who were with us the entire time) tested positive a few days later, but we were fine. I ordered more masks the next day. I like the suggestion that you can convert them to ear loop masks since the head strap doesn't work well with my long hair. They certainly hold up better than the softer KN95s and don't get as dirty from makeup on your face, maybe because of the molded shape. We are going to keep them on hand for other applications, like air quality issues (this is fire season in CA) and home improvement projects.

The fit is way too tight. In three days broke off two bottom straps. Threw the rest away. Do not waste money on this brand.

I only gave 3 stars because they didn't work out for me for a couple of reasons. The shell is hard and so it was too big for my face and the the straps around your head are like a rubber band material which was getting caught in my hair. Unfortunately I was not able to return them. I'm not saying that they are a bad product but definitely didn't work for me.

These masks are very comfortable to wear while offering a high level of protection. The material they’re made out of is soft, and it is easy to breathe and talk while wearing it. There is no bad smell, or smell of any kind, like I’ve noticed with many other masks I’ve worn in the past few years. The elastic straps are very stretchy and provide a snug fit without pressing the mask too hard into my face. The strip of foam in the nosepiece helps with this as well.I enjoyed reading the description of the company that makes these masks and their history and mission. I love that it’s a family-owned business and that they’re manufacturing in the USA.My boxes arrived quickly and in good condition. Overall very satisfied with my purchase and happy to support this company. Would definitely order again or recommend to others!
