Branded, USA-made, *true* N-95 masks from Honeywell
Bought these @ the beginning of the pandemic, wore them faithfully, no COVID for me - despite everyone else in the house coming down w/ it simultaneouslyOverhead straps hold well, fitting to nose is simple & effective (*be sure* to flatten the crease in the metal nosepiece, *then* fit to bridge of nose!). Glasses rarely fogged ever, breathing UNrestricted for this active old man, surprisingly comfortable & well-fitting. Biggest “issue” has been my beard getting itchy over timeHaving worn them faithfully lockdown, I STILL have plenty left - but will order again as needed

Same as ordering from Honeywell directly
I bought these (seller Amazon, can't vouch for others) a few months after I ordered directly from Honeywell, and what I received was identical. So they're genuine.Comfortable mask, fits mid sized face with my small jaw well. Wore for several hours in airport and plane with mild discomfort--any mask that's tight enough to stop air leaks will be tight around the nose. The top strap likes to slide down so I adjust it occasionally. I tighten my mask by putting the bottom strap over a ponytail.

True N95 mask with NIOSH number and made by an American Company.
This is good mask. You can get a good seal with minimal effort. I have been using them going through rehab workouts, while not as easy to breath through as nothing - they are not bad as I am working out while wearing them. I wouldn't wear them doing Cardio but...I haven't had any issues with the straps - yes they wrap around your head and NOT your ears. I do have a slightly larger than normal head size but not huge. I am fine wearing them for an hour or more at a time.It is clear some people don't understand being made in China does not make it a KN95 mask or garbage. It is made by Honeywell!!! A major US company. These are shipped to Amazon by Honeywell if you are buying them from Amazon (yes you need to check). NIOSH has approved these for non-medical use, they have not been put through the certification process for that - they are still an N95 mask.

Effective mask, if you can stand to wear it any length of time.
I bought two boxes based on the company reputation and Amazon reviews. The packaging was very high quality, box and graphics appear genuine. Masks weren’t individually wrapped, but the column of 50 was sealed in plastic.The masks were thick, sturdy and well-made, with a good nose piece that was easy to bend but kept the new shape well. Really good fit to face, with secure coverage from bridge of nose to maybe an inch and a half under my (average adult male) face. With the padded nose piece properly formed I had little or no fogging of my glasses after several deep breaths. There seems to be much better filtration compared to my layered cotton and KN95 masks. That being said, I wouldn’t wear this mask during strenuous activity because of the significantly greater respiratory effort. Breathing was comfortable while working at my desk.The disappointments in this product are two-fold with one being just a preference. I should have been more careful and recognized that these masks use two “around the head” elastic loops without any way to adjust the tension. Very difficult for me to don or doff while wearing glasses. Also, the elastic straps are not very stretchy. The lower loop is barely big enough to fit over my head and becomes quite uncomfortable for me a half hour of wear. I tried stretchy the elastic but the strap came loose from the mask. The upper loop alone was much more comfortable and seemed to keep the mask in a good but not great position.They are a well made safety product that seems effective. Nonetheless I wish I’d bought masks with ear loops or adjustable bands.

It's a solid mask and four eyes like me appreciate the anti-fog foam strip
I actually like the over-the-head style straps of this mask. It really provides a better fit to the face. Hard to breathe for a reason because it's better protecting you from that Rona, y'all. It also keeps my face warm during these winter months so that's a bonus! One gripe, if you have really silky hair, the top strap that goes over your head tends to slip down, but a ponytail helps.The foam anti-fog strip is probably the second best part of this mask and it works wonders for glasses wearers. No more need to use a piece of tape on the bridge of my nose so my glasses won't fog!For awareness, the bottom strap goes over your head and rests on the back of your neck. The top strap also goes over your head and rests on the back part of your noggin.My batch was made in China as opposed to some who got Mexico but that didn't give me any concerns. Overall the value for the money and the extra protection compared to the throwaway blue masks are worth it.

Work well and these are legit
We were concerned about the 50ct box, when we received them. Although sealed in one bag, when we received them there was no expiration date* and the inspection date had a typo ("InsPect"). We called Honeywell (ph # from the website matched the box). Per their representative:--These never expire, as long as they are kept out of the sun and in a clean, dry, cool environment.--It is possible that the bags will not be sealed. (Ours was, so no worries, there.)--Amazon is an authorized dealer, so there should not be a concern.These fit both a medium-sized female and a large male. They are snug, seal well (and even prevent fogging of glasses), and are tight but comfortable. There is a slight chemical smell that one of us noticed, but it dissipates fairly quickly. We will continue to use our tailor-made cloth/polypropylene masks to keep the environmental impact down, but will use these in high-risk settings.*Note: 3M masks have expiration dates and a Wirecutter article we read indicate there should be an expiry. Honeywell's answer negates the Wirecutter information.
