HIWUP KN95 Face Masks 50 Pack, Breathable Comfortable and Disposable KN95 Mask, Black

I can actually breath in these
I absolutely hate to wear masks over my mouth and nose, it almost feels like I’m being suffocated, but with the Covid pandemic, not to mention the flu season, etc. it’s the one of the things you can do to protect yourself/family as well as others in the community so you do what you have to do. I ordered these thinking they wouldn’t be any different from those flimsy blue disposable masks, but they surprised me. When I initially took one out I thought there is no way this was going to fit snug up against my face and provide any protection, but I was completely wrong…once you put the mask on and squeeze the nose band into shape, the entire mask fits right up against your face. And the best part, as far as I’m concerned anyway, is the mask doesn’t plaster itself to your face with every breath you take; these are stiffer than the blue masks and I find it easier to breath using these masks than I did with either the blue disposable masks or the homemade masks. I’m glad I ordered these and I think I’ll order another box just to have extra on hand since we never can tell when something else is going to show up uninvited. I like these and have recommended them to a few of my friends.As for my reviews, I am someone who is selective and particular and have no qualms whatsoever leaving an honest review regardless if it is favorable, critical or somewhere in between. Not only am I a newly recruited Vine Reviewer for Amazon, I have been an Amazon customer since 2006 and know the value of an honest review, as does Amazon for they specifically direct its Vine Reviewers to be honest in their assessment of a product because their customers rely on reviews when deciding whether to purchase an item.

Comfortable and effective.
This package of masks was about $10 at the time of my order, which was an amazing deal for these masks. They have enough structure to improve airflow, so that I breathe better through the four layers of this mask than I do through the three layers of typical masks. The shape also allows for a comfortable fit that is not excessively tight and allows me to breathe without fogging my glasses. The masks are comfortable enough to use for a long shift.

Careful when buying these.
While they do indeed seem to be a kind of KN95 mask, it’s hard to say how effective they are. Don’t get me wrong, I think they would probably be very effective at keeping larger particles out. Things like sand, most kinds of dust and maybe even mold spores.I don’t think they would be very effective at preventing the spread of an airborne disease though. Judging from the one mask I tried on, it fits nicely enough, but it’s also very well ventilated. Like, to the point where the buildup of carbon and heat doesn’t really bother me because it seems to be venting better than most other masks do.

Black KN95 masks fits better when modified
My wife and I felt that the ear strings were a bit loose, too big for us (and I have a big head); if you can add a simple modification of adding elastic cord locks (we bought 100 of them from Amazon). The ear straps are fixed and not adjustable on their own (too short to tie a knot in and too long without some adjuster).Fit depends on the shape of your face for a good fit (especially if you’re thinking to use this as a protection against covid). The nose wire piece isn’t as wide or strong as other masks that we have, but it is okay.Otherwise, the quality of the mask appears to be okay.
