3M 9205+ Aura N95 Particulate Respirator - NIOSH Approved

great masks! comfortable protection. designed so it sits away from your nose and mouth. makes talking easier and clearer. fits with a tight seal with easy airflow. definitely recommend!

After contracting COVID, I have done plenty of research of why someone healthy and fully vaccinated who takes all the necessary precautions gets sick. Buying the proper mask is a big part of the solution. I was buying generic brands on the internet. After talking to many doctors, it is imperative everyone is using a branded and certified N95 mask. The 3M Aura does the job! Against popular belief these masks are not more expensive than generic and give you piece of mind you get the proper barrier.

This is the best protective mask I've experienced. Far better than any other K95 or N95. Fit is superb, even for a small face like mine, padding in area over bridge of nose is comfortable, and there is plenty of breathing room inside the mask. The snug, yet breathable fit provides both security and comfort. Kudos to the designers and producers of this mask!

Extremely comfortable for an N95. I have peace of mind knowing that I am using the recommended method of protection during this phase of the pandemic. I have a 30-year-old son who is severely immunocompromised with many physical and medical issues. I have been super diligent throughout the pandemic to not only protect myself, which in turn protects my son, as it is a high priority. Since we can still contract different variants along the way, regardless of immunization status - what may affect me with mild infections can affect my son in a more serious way, even with full protection with immunizations/boosters. That being said, I do everything I can to avoid exposure to myself so that I don't risk the possibility of bringing the virus home to him. Never a guarantee, no matter what - but I have peace of mind knowing that I am taking all the measure humanly possible. These 3M N95 masks are such a valuable item to me. Thank you for such a fantastic product!

I love the mask. It gives great coverage and it is not pressed against your mouth or nose. You have room. The only downside for me is the straps do not go over your ears it goes over your head. It is not as easy to remove but at the same time you will not loose it cause you can wear it around your neck.

They seem high quality, but don't hold their shape great and end up pressing against the tip of my nose and sometimes against my lips. Also, I'm not 100% sure that the bottom piece (against my chin) provides a really high quality seal — I think it does, but it also feels loser on the bottom than on the bridge of my nose. Still, I haven't gotten sick, and it blocks out many odors (esp. smokey odors) so I think it's doing its job well!

Mask has a strange pickles smell I attribute to the sponge used to make the nose piece more comfortable. It is easy to breathe in an has a tight fit around the face even for smaller faces. Elastic broke halfway through the work day which makes the mask inoperable even though there is a second elastic. The bottom half of the mask kept coming away from chin- allowing free air to flow in. Mask is individually wrapped which makes it good for storage in a bag or car.

One of the rubber bands of the first mask in use broke twice.

This product was expired. When someone purchases and wears an N95 they are trying to ensure protection for their health. It is OUTRAGEOUS and UNETHICAL that American Tool Company and Walmart would sell this product as a "quality" product. DO NOT BUY products from American Tool Company, they are not to be trusted. I also will NOT purchase products to protect my health from Walmart in the future. My health is too important.

I really can't comment on the characteristics of the masks since I haven't used one yet. (I received the package a couple of weeks ago, but just opened it today.) My main issue is that this was advertised as a pack of 20 but only 3 were included. Dishonest vendor. Recommend going with another choice.
