- AccuMed BNX N95 Mask Black MADE IN USA Particulate Respirator Protective Face Mask (10-Pack, Approval Number TC-84A-9315 / Model H95B)

This is a solid, reliable N95 that's been my "go to" among them over the years whenever I seek to replenish my supply. It holds firm, makes a flexible tight seal, doesn't itch the way some other ones do, I can breathe well enough with it on, and it's sturdy (it won't degrade from moisture as some others are more susceptible to doing). And, in black (my choice over the version in white), it doesn't look half-bad. It's well-priced, too.

I love this mask. I'm a nurse. The N95 Niosh turquoise color gives us a bad headache at work, as well as a day or 2 after. It's also miserably uncomfortable. This mask is absolutely comfortable. We cut the bands and tie them into ear loops making sure its secure and fitted without pain. I love it!

3M Aura N95 fits me a bit snug and touch my lips. This BNX N95 vertical bifold style is more roomy and probably better for larger faces/heads. The straps are not as tight on me and I like the black straps because they blend in with my darker hair. The only thing I don't care for is that it has a prominent seam, but that's a minor thing. It is not as tightly fitting as a BYD N95 vertical bifold that I normally wear, but I felt it held up for a few hours out in the humidity at a picnic and I didn't feel any gaps or blowback on my eyeglasses, but it might not make a tight seal if you don't have chubby cheeks or a wide face/larger head. The nose wire seemed pretty sturdy and effective. I straightened it out before donning, then molded it to my nose bridge with two hands and it sealed well. No odor. No irritation. Not so tight that I had indentations, but it might be better if it were a little bit more snug. Not individually wrapped but that's ok for me.

Great fit

Good seal with around the head straps, large mask that covers completely the mouth and nose allowing for comfortable speaking and daily use. Highly recommend if you have a large face (large, tall, round etc). Material is soft and thick, quality is great. No odor. I can't speak to it's effecacy yet, but I've been using them for a week indoors and in crowded public spaces and so far so good. Will purchase again!

Need this mask for the next flight I take - love that it's made in the USA

First off, while these are certified by NIOSH to be N95 respirators, these seem to be blurring the line on what should be considered as an "N95" respirator and a "KN95" respirator. To have nearly the same layers as the GB2626-2019 standard but have the main difference being "it has to have headband straps" really sets the bar so low in terms of NIOSH-certified respirator masks that filter at least 95% of non-oily particulates at 2.5 microns or less. Secondly, amazing comfort from the straps and even the face part of it, but the non-woven layer that goes on your face is still rather abrasive. It's not as terrible as other (then KN95) respirators from this same company (AccuMed) where their white ones are oddly scratchier than their black counterparts, but I still get at least a mild allergic reaction to it, as evidently shown on my nose turning red with what seems to be slight swelling at the end where the mask sits--this also makes my nose run, like a good number of respirators do. Third, despite its comfort, it still uses the shitty clamshell design, which counterintuitively bends the metal band that sits at the nasal bridge far too sharply. This makes it so damn easy for air leaks to occur under your eyes and along your nasal bridge when exhaling. According to CDC guidelines, you have to test with your hands around the edges of the mask and breathe in and out sharply to test the airtightness of the mask. Well, this mask and others like it fail very hard at it once I let it go, even if I pretty much don't have any facial hair on it. I wear glasses, so I can absolutely see the air leak happening. Also, the clamshell design makes it harder to actually talk and make other facial expressions, which is a major drawback. (My face is slender enough that this shouldn't be an issue, but it is.) Fourth, cost-per-mask is an utter RIPOFF ($2.30/mask - $2.50/mask). 3M's respirators are still in high demand and the cost per respirator is still relatively low, and they managed to make it so there is a foam pad for your nose, which is designed to not only let less air out completely unfiltered, but also to prevent (of course) very fine particles from getting in your mask without filtration, which viruses can also get in with or without respiratory droplets. (Viruses heavily depend on respiratory droplets and the path to least resistance in order to get in our respiratory systems, but viruses can still survive for a shorter period of time without any respiratory droplets.) I'm genuinely convinced that companies such as AccuMed and other KN95/N95 sellers and distributors are and *have been* purposefully cashing in on the pandemic and exploiting their consumers for it, which I find to be extremely amoral and unjust in every aspect. Fifth and last, on top of other aforementioned positives in this review, breathability is not actually that half bad. Like most other respirators, they eventually develop a level of air resistance as there is more moisture buildup. BUT! I do also want to mention that this mask, like every other clamshell mask, will make you constantly readjust it every time you move your head anywhere NEAR the directions other than straight ahead: (the perceived) filtration performance is usually worse when looking lower than straight, and possibly almost close to the extreme positions (left up and right, other than just downward) enables the mask to be shifted some. I'm led to believe that this issue exists in a great number of KN95 and N95 respirators on the market, right now. Overall: I would look elsewhere for N95 or even KN95 respirators. There are better options out there, and I do not recommend most people get an otherwise subpar mask for an unreasonably higher asking price.

Very well American made N95 masks. Should work very well for what I need them for.

Son buenos ! Los volvería a comprar

Not many people know this but the original n95 mask are those who have niosh certification and this one has it and printed on each mask. Quite satisfied I would easily recommend it to anyone.
