3M Particulate Disposable Respirator 8210, N95, Pack of 20, NIOSH APPROVED | Two-Strap Cup Style Design, Lightweight, Cushioning Nose Foam

As a dentist, it is really good at protecting against all kinds of germs while doing patients, the seal is excellent and I always needed a tight fitting mask, it is the tightest fit. Better than expected at a very cheap price. Blocks all kinds of odors.

Makes a great seal. I wear with a black cloth mask over top so I look like a ninja instead of a sander/spray painter. I have to wear a hat to cover the 4 straps that wrap around my head from both masks. N95 yellow straps are ugly + pull hard squishing cheeks/ eye bags up so we look very puffy, my hair goes crazy knotted. I hide under a hat. This mask makes an amazing seal. I tried out by walking into smelly bathroom with it on and couldn’t even tell. Ain’t no germs gettin at me! Not even the stink gets at me! PROS&CONS: CONS: quite tight, Makes it very hard to candle shop or buy a good smelling fabric softener, rough on 3’ long hair if you have cut it in over four years, the straps break of you’re not careful or after few days of use PROS: saves your life, saves the lives of others, you can’t smell stank at all, now that ridiculously long hairs cit it fit fine on your head, feel safe while out there, if Ebola come around, you know you good with this! *updated, purchased 4x and always good - haven’t ever caught Covid

Technique for properly donning: Stretch out the bands before donning. Technique is awkward until you get used to that. But infinitely better than cheap do-nothing masks. Great for mowing to prevent Asthma problems. Use a fresh one each time. Good price and VERY effective.

I prefer the 3m brand for quality control I didn't give it 5 star rating because of the cost and how it fits my face. Im a bigger guy and it's really tight. Still the alternative is not to have one or go wtih a full face mask.

I ordered and received a package of 20 N-95 masks. Some of the other comments mentioned poor condition of masks and possible counterfeits. The masks I received were in good condition and the 3M site confirmed they are legitimate. The expiration date on the masks is 2032. I purchased the masks to deal with wildfire smoke. The masks do that without any problem. The fit is good and I have no problem breathing with the mask on.

The seller set the expectation that it would take a week to deliver this item and that was okay since there wasn’t an immediate need. Turns out, they were delivered in less than 48 hours so I’m very happy about that! Good product, reasonably priced. What’s not to like?

I've read a number of reviews complaining of these masks fitting very tightly. I wonder how many of those reviewers have read and followed the instructions for these masks, the first step of which is to stretch out the bands so they won't be so tight. I mean, even having done that the masks are still kind of tight, but they have to be to do their job. A loose mask is an ineffective mask...and these are N95s, which means they're designed to be especially effective...which in turn means they're going to be somewhat tight. I've worn them throughout several eight-hour workdays and while I was glad to get them off during breaks and after work, that was less because they were tight than because they were masks. I don't think anybody *likes* wearing these things very much, whereas we do like breathing fresh, cool, unused air when possible. I personally found the tightness quite bearable, and reassuring - it helps me feel that the mask is doing its job. I read some other reviews, however, wherein the reviewers said the straps on these masks break, and I thought, before I received my order, that those reviewers probably also didn't stretch out the bands before using the masks...but no: I stretched both bands well before using these masks and I had a band break too, out of nowhere, while being subjected to no stress beyond being worn normally, and at exactly the same point at which one of those reviewers' band(s) broke, about 3/4 of an inch away from the point where the band attaches to the mask. So this is a design/manufacturing flaw - and a pretty serious one, considering at least one of the purposes for which people are going to use these masks. It means that you'll need to keep a spare mask or two with you at all times when using these, pretty much regardless of whether you're using them to filter out particulate matter while on a construction project or to reduce the risk of contracting and/or transmitting illness. In short, they're not as reliable as they should be, and that's a bad flaw in a face mask. A fatal flaw, you might even say. If the bands didn't break I'd give these masks five stars based on my experience of them. But the bands' tendency to break at random and for no reason reduces them to three stars - kind of "meh". Too bad.

Work great, keeps dust and debris out!

We received counterfeit product. The box looked damages, the plastic bag inside was not sealed and the band/loop on the mask the mask looked like it had been glued to the mask by hand. What's worse is that this item cannot be returned. Nor can you get a refund!

I am buying this for the 4th time now . First 3 purchases were original and it was 2000 odd rupees per mask . When the prices got lowered last month I thought maybe they have reduced it with a dilemma in mind whether they will procure originals imported from Korea or not . To my surprise the two boxes in this purchase were fake . The mask is fake . The headloop is made of cotton where the original 8210 will have elastic rubber bands . Original 3M doesn't manufacture cotton banda all over the world . I am an airline pilot and I have used many 8210 in the past. I can clearly distinguish between the real and the fake ones . The nosepad is made of bad cushion . The mask cloth is weak and non woven . The cloth is welded into the mask . This is a cheap copy ! The boxes came tampered !! UNDERSTAND ONE THING . THIS PRODUCT HAS SURELY BEEN TAMPERED BY SOMEONE OUTSIDE AMAZONG DURING DELIVERY OR SOMTHING. I HAVE BOUGHT MASKS FROM THE SAME LINK AND REVEIVED ORIGINAL AUTHENTIC 3m 8210 in last 3 purchases . This us highly concerning for me during covid . People are cheating around . I am attaching a mask photo of this cheap and fake Masks as well as the original mask . Decide for yourself.

Son muy buenas llego en tiempo

RESUMEN: En pocas palabras, al menos los vendidos y enviados por amazon si son originales. Son incómodas a comparación de las kn95, estas de 3m son si quieres tener una máscara mas segura, lo que depende de tu día a día. Si tomara transporte público o vuelos en avión, también preferiría estas, y también las uso para el cine ya que nadie respeta el uso de mascarillas. Para todo lo demás uso kn95 o quirúrgicas, pues las kn95 son muy buenas máscaras. La diferencia con estas es la certificación, mientras las kn95 solo regula la filtración de partículas, las que tienen certificación NIOSH, regula tanto la filtración como el sello que hacen en tu cara. Es decir, aseguran que no importa si te mueves, agachas, etc etc, siempre hay un sello alrededor de tu cara para filtrar todas las particulas que entren. Por cierto, para los que USAMOS LENTES son una maravilla ya que al tener un puente de metal rígido con el que cierras y sellas bien la mascara con tu piel, no tengo problemas de que se empañen. Eso si, por el puente de metal los lentes como que "se suben" un poquito entonces luego hay que jugarle para acomodarlos bien, pero adios al no ver por estar empañados jajaja. OPINIÓN: Me imagino que lo que la mayoría quiere saber es si de verdad son originales. En mi caso lo fueron, los compre vendidos y enviados por Amazon lo que me dió mas confianza. Además, este producto trae una cosa que se llama SAFEGUARD de 3m, básicamente si le pones "safeguard 3m" en google te va a llevar a una página donde vas a ponerle unos números que traen en la caja, lo que te dirá si coinciden con el inventario de 3m para asegurarte que son originales. Además, el número de lote de la caja debe coincidir con el número de lote estampado en los cubrebocas. Para beneficio de todos, si compras estos cubrebocas, pon estos números en la página de 3m porque de esta manera quedan registrados, y si alguien estuviera falsificando las cajas, entonces al tener números repetidos, te estaría avisando que puede ser un producto falso, así que entre mas números se registren menor probabilidad de que nos toquen falsificaciones. Aún así, porque #ansiedad, les escribí a los de 3m porque la caja llega sin sello holográfico, el cual he visto pero en las cajas de estados unidos, así que escribí para preguntar, mande fotos de la caja y el producto y me respondieron que lo revisaron y que todo se ve en orden. Sobre el sello quizá sea por el país ya que yo he comprado otras mascarillas n95 en home depot y tampoco vienen selladas. Ahora, sobre la comodidad y eso, en definitiva estos cubrebocas aprietan MUCHO PERO MUCHO mas que otros, esto es porque la certificación que manejan es la NIOSH, esta certificación también revisa el AJUSTE del cubrebocas, a diferencia de la certificación china (como los kn95) que solo revisa la filtración de particulas pero no el ajuste. La NIOSH revisa tanto ajuste como filtración. El motivo de que aprieten un buen, es porque, si has visto gente con sus KN95 y se ve que no está completamente pegado a la piel o se hacen pliegues como cuando usas quirúrgicos, pues por ahí estas tanto esparciendo la enfermedad (si estás contagiado) así como por ahí esta entrando aire sin ser filtrado, por eso es que estos cubrebocas son muchisimo mas apretados. Se pueden volver molestos, en definitiva que si, pero creo que son mas seguros en especial si vas a estar tiempos prolongados en espacios cerrados, no los recomendaría para el uso diario, a menos que tu uso diario sea estar encerrado en alguna oficina sin mucha ventilación. Pero puede que te haga marquitas en el puente de la nariz, lo que puedes mejorar un poco usando cinta microporo, no puedes poner algo muy grueso porque entonces puedes alterar el sello que hace el cubrebocas con tu cara, pero con un poco de microporo si mejora la fricción en el puente de la nariz. Los elásticos: Si has comprado las n95 8511 de 3m también, los elásticos son completamente diferente, ya que esos son mas bien como un resorte, pero estas si son un tipo de banda elástica, al principio vas a sentir como que "afloja" muchísimo, pero no pasa nada, si mantienen su elasticidad, o al menos hasta ahora he usado 3 máscaras de este paquete y no he tenido problemas con esto, además de que soy muuuuuy cabezon. Eso si, dicen que normalmente al menos 1 mascarilla va a fallar su elástico, ya que parece que su diseño en donde se pega con la mascarilla no es tan bueno (dicen), hasta ahora no he tenido ese problema pero aún faltan 17 mascarillas mas, actualizaré este review si tengo ese problema. De todas maneras siempre llevo una kn95 extra, porque uno nunca sabe cuando necesita una más :v

Was a little surprised that the product arrived opened and with a small tag as a “seal” very similar to what you would get when you buy a loaf of bread. The quality of the product however is good... but in these time of covid, having a mask that may be contaminated- is not acceptable.
