3M Aura Particulate Disposable Respirator 9205+

Best mask to fend off respiratory viruses. Reliable quality. DOCTOR recommended.

Our favorite. Awesome coverage. Will buy again!

All true N95s have head loops, not ear loops. I do agree that ear loops can be "easier", but they aren't N95s without head loops!These masks fit my face well and are very comfortable. The bendable nose piece is padded and helps keep my glasses from fogging up.Some reviewers complain that the rubber bands are stapled onto the mask. Not once did I have one of the bands fail. I don't get the complaint. Also, the bands are soft and stretchy and work well. I have longish hair and put the bottom band under my hair and ears, then the upper band over my hair and ears, near the crown of my head. It does take a bit of practice to put on, but once I got the hang of it, it was easy peasy! It didn't seem to slip around much and pretty stayed in place. As long as I didn't take it off and put it on every two seconds, I was set. The front of the mask forms sort of a box shape, away from my face. I find this much more comfortable and way better fitting that those accordion-style disposables.I wore one of these on a flight to Hawaii that included a connection. I didn't removed it once during the 13 hours in airports, on the planes, on the hotel shuttle or even in the hotel until we got to our room. Then, I wore a new one on every trip outside our room. I wasn't going to let Covid ruin my first vacation in two years!As others have said, the big box they were shipped in left something to be desired; it was very flimsy and not taped well at all. Masks were sticking out of the top and some were stuck to the tape. I'm sure some of the masks escaped along they way. Since I ordered 440 of them, I didn't sit and count how many actually made it.Would I order them again? You bet! But, hopefully, I have enough to last through this!

These came in a big box filled with hundreds of masks, each individually sealed in a 3m plastic package. There is a giant 3M logo on the box. Also in the box was a 3m paper booklet with instructions. These seem genuine.These are very comfortable, compared to our old 3m n95s (that had a valve). They are lightweight and have a piece of foam up around the nose area to make the seal better and that increases the comfort. There is also a tab-like slight protrusion on the bottom that makes it easier to pull on the mask below your chin to get a tad tighter seal. They are actually easier to breathe through than the older masks with a valve we used to have.There is a slight chemical odor for a few minutes when the mask is taken out of the bag. It is not noticeable after wearing the mask about five minutes. My guess is that this mask is made from toxic materials. We plan to let them air out for a day (out of the plastic) or so before wearing them. I have a smallish face and my wife's face is a little bigger and they fit both faces fine. They do not fog up my glasses!Over all - these seem like a good buy. I would grab them while you can!

As expected. Bought 2023. With what I received I was: not troubled by smell that some people mentioned. Sizing was fine for an adult male 5'11" 170 lbs.The elastic is not very resilient - mostly fine, but easily breaks if stretched too far or twisted and tangled.

Pro tip: if you have a big/long face (and/or beard) like me, add a high quality rubber band to the bottom tab and put it around your neck to keep the mask under your chin. With this mod, the mask is unstoppable.Best comfortBest breathabilityGood elasticNot too much clamping pressure anywhere, but still a good sealBest mask out thereFor the quantity you get for $30, there is no competitionI use this for running/cycling with no issue breathingCons:Can’t use many times without replacing the rubber bands. If you mess with the mask a lot or take it on and off, expect them to snap. They’re much better than previous generations, but still snap very thin.

What a fantastic deal and a wonderful company exactly as represented current production sealed and strapped by 3M. Date codes go through the end of 27 new production.

Ordered N95 masks 8 days ago (June 4th) and they never even shipped it yet! I was never notified yet by Woot of any delay expected or reason for it not being shipped yet! This does not align with their shipping policy: “typically ships within 2 business days of receiving your order. We'll send you a tracking number, but sometimes the package will arrive before you even get the number. We're that awesome. We'll let you know if there's going to be a significant delay, or if we can't fill your order for some reason. (That almost never happens, so don't freak.)”I was eventually given refund 12 days later!
