Valve on front makes it much more comfortable to use as it allows exhaled air to leave the mask easier. Fit is good and the metal bendable clamp on the nose works well to seal the mask to your face.
I was hoping this mask would be cotton, since I hate polyester. Fortunately the mask is soft to the touch. Earstraps are adjustable so it fits nicely. Covers my nose and mouth as expected.
These masks are so much better than those cheap single strap, singe layer fiber masks. They fit snugly but not too snug so they're not uncomfortable and the nose clasp bit with the thicker material and double straps makes a much better seal around than the cheap ones.
I used the N95 to go to an outdoor activity,because my immune system is compromised. Lots of people asked where I'd gotten it and complimented me on the look of it and how smart I was to wear it. It does cut back on some of the odors around you.
These masks are very comfortable to wear, easy to fit,I can always use them anyway, to sand down raw wood, or newly chalk painted items because chalk paint causes a lot of dust to fly.Anyway, I hope this helps, I highly recommend this mask
