Approved by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, these 5-layer masks aim to provide 95% filtration without inhibiting breathing. Several reviewers report that they’re also comfortable to wear!
The outer and innermost layers are non-woven for filtering large particles and feeling softer on the skin. Between those, there’s a super fine filter layer to get micron particles and two cotton layers for moisture and heat absorption.
Called a “dependable and essential addition” to their safety measures, one user said they “have confidence in its effectiveness in filtering out particles and providing the protection I need.”
The masks are made with dual straps that go behind the head, rather than around your ears, for both security and comfort. Calling the masks “easy to put on,” one review said, “They do not hurt my ears and does not bother my face.”
Individually packed, these masks are easy to share among friends and family or stick in a work or travel bag.
In addition to COVID protection, reviewers say the masks have helped with dust storms and easy breathing while cleaning with chemicals and doing yard or woodwork.

“I won’t use anything else. These are the best masks, hands down! Thanks! Each one is single wrapped, so you get a new and fresh mask each time. No chance of contamination if someone with particulates or bacteria on their hands reaches in box for a mask. Also has a spongy strip on nose, so you won’t be fogging your glasses when you breathe!” — jonmorrell
