Honeywell DF300 N95 Flatfold Disposable Respirator

Before I bought these, I saw a lot of people concerned about the punch outs located next to the welded points of the straps to the mask. I reached out to Honeywell and they informed me that the punch outs do not hinder efficacy and they are intended to be there. I also checked for this particular model number to see if there were any recalls or anything like that. I didn’t find any recalls and I did find this mask listed as part of the acceptable N95 list posted from the CDC. So if you have hesitations about these masks for that reason, don’t worry it’s working as intended.Some people might find these masks to be too small, they’re supposed to be tight fitting. If your mask is comfortable or loose fitted like the ones you can get in just about any store, they are not protecting you as intended. They need to feel snug to the face to create a seal but not quite a seal because if it was a seal you couldn’t breathe. You get what I mean. I've tested this mask on people with rather large heads and they were a little nervous about trying to stretch the straps over their heads but once they were confident that the straps weren’t going to break or anything, they were able to take the mask on and off without any problem. Of course when you have a big head these masks are going to look a little weird on you but so long as it’s covering your nose, mouth, chin and sitting flush to the face to create that snug feel, it’s working as intended.And so far these are working pretty good at keeping my glasses mostly fog free. But your mileage may vary. Overall I’m very happy with this purchase and I would definitely recommend getting these for yourself. KN95 would have been better but those are getting harder to find on the CDC list ever since the emergency order was lifted.If you are unsure about products, particularly if you see things in comments and the review photos that make you anxious or nervous, please contact the manufacturer to find out what’s going on with whatever it is you’re seeing and find out for yourself before deciding without any information that something is wrong with it.

The lower strap separates from the left side of the mask. It's fixable with a couple of staples. The other 3 attachment points are fine. Otherwise, the mask seals well to my face and is easy enough to breathe through. These are a 20 pack of Honeywell DF300N95, TC-84A-8480, lot no. 210510M03.Update: I didn't have any strap problems with a different batch that I got at my job. I have since bought more with no issues. This is my preferred mask.

This don't feel like they fit my face, but they have some foam at the nose that compensates some. I would feel safer and really N95 if they were a better fit to my face. The awkward fit though, actually makes good space in the mask to breathe and they are actually comfortable and good to breathe through and start to form to your face better after a little wearing. It helps to really mold them to your face when you first put one on. I bought them because they were the cheapest at the time for N95. They go around the back of your head, so they stay on well, but mess up your hair. . . unless the rubber band breaks, but they last pretty good most of the time.

Elastic has to go around the head, not behind the ears. Good filtration so you don't breathe sawdust, ashes, or other large particulates. Rated N-95 for disease prevention as well. Nice to have on hand.

N95 IS the one you want.Bought these for my wife whose a smallerhead size, so much so that the 3 M Ventilators didn’t fit her well.These fit perfectly.A great product.Safety first!

I like this brand and the mask is good quality other than the straps. They snap off really easily especially if you have a big head. You can adapt by cutting them and turning them into ear loops or securing the straps with some kind of reinforcement like superglue or whatever. These are extra steps that would make it inconvenient for some folks, but it’s ultimately up to you if you think you will end up doing that or if it’s worth it etc. I have a big head so even if I move slowly and carefully without my glasses, it’s a tossup as to whether or not it breaks. They are not individually wrapped and I’m not someone who will reliably do all of those extra steps so these are my back up masks.

The lower strap broke instantly on the first four masks out of the box when we attempted to put them. First we put them on as we do a different brand but the same style mask. Normal. Instant breakage. Then we attempted to don them with extreme care. Two more broken masks. We succeeded with the fifth and sixth masks, but the lower straps on both snapped while we were in a crowded store, leaving us with little protection.We did have better luck with masks seven and eight yesterday when we went to the store. Neither broke while we wore them. At more than a dollar per mask, these failures make this brand not worth it. I did not expect this with Honeywell. We use some of their other products and have thought them well made. Not these masks. What's up Honeywell?Oh and one more thing: The Amazon blurb said the masks were individually wrapped. They are not. They are all packed into just one plastic wrapping inside the box.

Was looking for a mask that folds flat but extra protective. This is it.
