Aura Particulate Respirator 9205+, N95, Individually Wrapped, 3 Panel Flat Fold Design Allows for Facial Movements

Can't speak to the effectiveness of these masks. I haven't had any respiratory diseases but there's absolutely no way to know whether I would have if I hadn't been wearing the masks. But they are N95, so should protect against viruses, and they are constructed in a way that doesn't require them to be prefitted. The nose piece is moldable, but more importantly, the bottom goes under the chin for much better protection. The straps go to the back of the head, not the ears, so they stay in place. Also, they stand off slightly from the nose and mouth so they're a little more comfortable for long term use than others. I've used them for 8 hour infusion sessions with reasonable comfort.

Very good masks.

3M Aura Particulate Face Masks; pack 20; N95; white. I am a man, 6’ 1” tall, 170lb. My face/head would be considered more of the long, narrow type and usually home to a short beard and mustache. Throughout any given day I wear contacts/prescription glasses, sunglasses and/or safety glasses 99% of the time. I am not a robot, but sometimes wish I was (never trust a robot). Likewise, I am not paid by 3M although I wish I was. Like many, I have experienced my fair share of masks and there are a few key features that are absolutely necessary if one is to be donned for extended duration due to occupational necessity or government mandate. 3M’s Aura provides all these features making them my choice, my recommendation and my only written review. *Masks are NIOSH N95 Particulate Respirators which means they have been tested and confirmed to perform to a specific standard. It’s your responsibility to know and understand those standards and what they mean for protecting your health. It’s important to note that adding any prefix to the N95 designation automatically negates these standards. For example, a mask labeled “KN95” is not equal to, or an acceptable substitute for a N95 mask. *Straps that wrap around the head completely. These masks provide 2 reliable elastic straps that do not use your ears to hold itself securely to your face. There are no special pieces or additional accessories needed to extend the straps completely around the head and neck. *Each mask is Individually wrapped and sealed in plastic. *Metal strip of adequate length and fortitude combined with ergonomic design features and a foam gasket provides a leak free seal around the bridge of the nose and cheeks. NO STEAMED UP GLASSES. This may be the most important aspect of all. *This may sound a bit shallow, but these masks don’t make you look stupid. Not quite sure how else to say it. I only wish they made them in black. Other features include a chin tab for easy donning and adjustments which is nice particularly if you are sporting a beard or facial piercings. Also handy if you need to pull the mask down often, to speak for example. Each mask stores flat. They are deemed disposable, however at home or in the shop I will often reuse them within reason as they are certainly of sufficient quality to do so. No broken elastic straps or irreparably deformed metal nose strip. These masks work, and if you wear one long enough you will be able to see discoloration of the material (inside and out) caused by all of the crap being trapped within: a good indicator for any filter doing it’s job. Dig? Word. 3M is an American company with a laundry list of awesome products derived from the creative ingenuity found nowhere else in the world. The 3M Aura mask is no exception. I take comfort and pride in that. Take my advise and spare yourself the foggy glasses. If you have to wear a mask 3M is the way to go.

I have been using this model for most of the pandemic. Ever since we learned that the vaccine worked for a day and a half and we had to deal with 7,000 new variants a week, I have been using this mask only. I used to use a KN-95 most of the time, but not any longer. (Note: Get vaccinated! It is still worth it, but it would be nice if it worked better than the flu shot and was more like the MMR vaccine.) This mask fits my face pretty well. The nose portion fits very well and gives me a good seal. The bottom portion can slide up a little from my chin so I have to pull it down from time to time. It seems like it still maintains a seal, but not quite as good once it slides. I still get some fogging with my glasses, but it usually not too much. There is definitely a smell, but I don't find it overwhelming. I have bought this mask in a box of 20 with the box and also as 20 individual masks that came without the box. I noticed zero difference and don't think that they are fake at all. The stitching is the same, the material is the same, the number of notches along the edge of the mask are the same, the staples are the same, the smell is the same, et cetera. If the ones not sold with the box are fake, then they spent more producing the fakes than the originals, lol. Anyway, I think that people buy huge amounts at a discount and then break up giant orders so we can benefit from a lower price. If you are worried, I think that you can find the same masks in boxes of 3, 10 and 20. I try to keep track and change masks if they get wet or after around 5 to 8 hours. Sometimes I pop in a store and wear it just for a few minutes. I have noticed that the more that I take it on and off, the rubber bands became a bit looser, but still it seems to fit okay. Just be aware of this and switch to a fresh mask if you notice any significant issues instead of being lazy or cheap. Once again, this is my go to mask, and I strongly recommend it, but everyone's needs and face is different.

I received the pack of 20 masks exactly as shown in the video. They fit well and seem to provide excellent N95-level filtration. At first, I was surprised to see that the masks were stapled together, but that's exactly how they were described in the listing and matches the 3M product specifications. While the packaging could have been better, at this price I really can't complain. It's a great value for the money. Highly recommended. Thanks!

These are a good product and very helpful for being outside (if necessary) during an unhealthy/hazardous air quality event. I use them outdoors for yard work when the AQI is above 170.

These masks are very affective. I come across a lot of people who don’t no how much fragrance to use and I don’t smell anything when I use them. They also work well to filter smoke and other environmental irritants. If you deal with respiratory issues like I do, these are your best choice.

This mask seals on your face well. It offers protection from nasty viruses. They are durable and breathable. A little tricky to use properly but once on they are great
