MAGID N95 Respirator Masks with Metal Nose Clips & Latex-Free Elastic Headband, Triple Layer Construction, Cup Style (Medium) - 10 Respirators (20180021N95)

These have metal nose clips and reported to be latex free. They work well as far as I can tell. I usually wear a reusable, washable mask - but occasionally you need a bit more so I keep these at hand. The bands stretch over your head, not your ears. Having said all of this, I never hesitate to update my reviews should new info seem useful. All of my reviews reflect my honest, personal experience with the reviewed item - your experience may be different. I am not influenced by any outside source. I receive/accept NO free products or discounts that are not available to all shoppers- ever. For some reason our shopper ranks are no longer visible - so, to give you a little more info about me, I am a top 50 reviewer (#30 the highest rank achieved). Those numbers used to fluctuate over time - up and down but I noticed that they stopped updating regularly - perhaps to phase them out. It's a shame because it did help you see who has been around the longest and who is a trustworthy reviewer. I've been doing reviews for over 25 years with Amazon - over 6,000 reviews posted, those reviews have been viewed well over 50,000 times, including over 24,000 likes. Bottom line, I pay for all my stuff, just like you do.

Fits very well

This was ok. But

I double-mask to protect myself and others. I started wearing glasses about 3 months ago, and I ran out of N-95s, so I wanted to find some good masks to wear. These appeared to fit my needs.Unfortunately, they do NOT fit well with glasses: they ride so high on my nose that my glasses have to sit on top of the mask, which throws off the correction . . . long story short, I either can wear glasses with no mask, or I can wear the mask with no glasses. So when I'm around people who aren't in my "bubble," I wear the mask and no glasses.It works, but it definitely isn't ideal. To wear the mask and my glasses simultaneously, I have to push the mask way down on my nose, to the point that it pinches my nostrils closed and interferes with my breathing.

This mask is as comfortable to wear as one can expect, if you want to be protected.

Bad fit/ seal. The seal to your face for this mask relies on a rubber seal that runs around the exterior of the mask. The problem is that the mask is HUGE. I wear a cartridge respirator for work daily. I wear a size medium respirator, but typical, off the shelf respirators and dust masks are designed to fit a variety of face shapes and sizes. It’s important to wear a respirator that is the correct size. But for example, a typical large cartridge respirator will work ok for me even though I’m a medium because they are designed to adapt to different face shapes.But with these masks, when I put it on, the rubber seal falls far below my chin, and I can feel air move freely around my chin when I breath. On top, the wire for the nose is far below the top edge. I have to have the top edge of the rubber seal nearly touching my eyes for the wire to land on the tip of my nose. This doesn’t work well obviously but I also wear glasses, so wearing it so high isn’t an option.These fit my wife’s face better as she has a longer face, but she wears glasses as well so they aren’t great for her either.I guess it’s slim pickings on n95s right now, but I’m not sure why people are making these silly designs. While this is probably better than a bandana wrapped around your face, if your looking to an n95 for maximum virus protection, this may not be a good option. I think unfortunately most people do not realize that the filtration of a mask is meaningless unless it provides a reliable seal. If you are using this, or any mask, and you don’t feel a bit of resistance and the mask pull in toward your face a bit when you inhale, it means you are breathing in air leaking around the mask and are getting very little protection.If you have a large face and do not wear glasses, these might work for you. Otherwise, pass

I rarely write product reviews, but I have been extremely happy with these masks so far. I purchased the foldable style M/L respirators. I have a large face. Other N95/KN95 respirators that I have used previously did not fit my face well or make a good seal. Other masks have had ear loops that slipped off and the masks didn't stay in place over my mouth and nose. These masks have great coverage for my face, they stay in place, and air does not seem to leak out around the edges. I wore one of these masks outside with a pair of sunglasses the other day. My sunglasses didn't even fog up. I would never even think of wearing glasses with other face coverings or respirators that I have tried up until now. So far, I feel like these masks have been a great value, even though the price seems to be rather steep.I was highly skeptical of the claimed NIOSH certification at the time of purchase, and I still can't independently verify that these masks are authentic. But they appear to be very well made and the fit and function seems great.

Ngl I saw the price and thought OK it can't hurt to try these out. These are the first n95s I've bought from Amazon that are 100% sealed up. The box came with the tape intact and the actual masks were sealed in a plastic bag that you have to cut open (no zippy bag closure). The masks are comfortable and have the adjustable strap however the nose is awful. The metal doesn't adjust very easily and sits so hard against my cheek bones that there's no seal on the nose. The mask seals great around my chin which is typically difficult for me to find, but as for the nose, it's not it. Maybe I'll keep playing around with the adjustable metal to make it fit better or perhaps I'll just cut the masks up to use as filters for my respirator? Luckily they didn't cost much so im not too upset over it.
