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)

Used these today for the first time they are well made masks. They seal around your face and blocked all the dirt and dust I was in today. These are well worth the money to protect my health.

Best masks of this type I've ever bought. Good fit and easy to breathe through. Used for heavy wood sanding with zero issues. One mask for several sessions. No issues with straps.

Great product. I need them when I go out in public to go shopping. If there is a germ out there, it will find me and these have kept me well throughout the flu season.I also use them outside when I’m doing yardwork. I would recommend them as they are comfortable, they seem to be durable, and I think it’s a great value for this type of face mask.

Works as expected, good value for the money, and they fit well

Great mask, fits snuggly to the contour of your face. The two rubber straps keep it securely in place.

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.

Extremely uncomfortable and not even sure they are used for medical purposes. Will probably use in metal work or woodwork instead.

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.
