3M Aura Particulate Respirator 9205+, N95, Individually Wrapped, 3 Panel Flat Fold Design Allows for Facial Movements

Good

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!

We have been using this exact Nick and model of N 95 mask for a few years now. Originally for the Covid epidemic.My son has to use them where he works, manufacturing medical equipment. His workplace only supplies those kind of “surgical” masks that loop over your ears and he has a problem getting them to stay on his ears, so he uses these because the straps go around the back of the head and keep it in place nicely.

I’ve ordered from CJ Systems twice now, both times it came in a sealed 3M box specifically with Aura labeling on the outside. The masks are all individually sealed and just tossed in the box with no order. 2 or 3 of the masks have been bent as a result of the boxing method. The first box I did not count, but this time I decided to and the count came to 413. I don’t think this is the suppliers doing, but I do think 3M might just be weighing these boxes? I’m not sure if this is normal, but being off by 6% does seem significant enough to point out. It’s still a really good deal compared to anywhere else- 413 masks for $100. It’s a bit frustrating that the prices fluctuate so much. I’ve seen it as low as $75 and high as $130(free shipping) before tax. The box is pretty large (think 6-9 shoeboxes). For personal use I think it’s fine, but if you’re relying on accuracy I would order this with the expectation of getting 400 masks which changes the price to about $0.28 /mask.

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!

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

Absolutely love these I will never go back to any others. They are soft breathable and they work amazing. We deal with frac sand and let me tell you. I used this all day and how amazing it is - fresh and clean breathing without fogging up my glasses

I recently underwent a heart transplant and must wear N95 masks whenever I go out in public. Needless to say, that can get expensive very quickly. I contacted the seller and asked them to verify these were legitimate, 3M masks. They responded (right away, too) that they purchase in bulk from hospitals and medical suppliers who are looking to move over stock and that they had all the appropriate filings in place with Amazon.The box was shipped quickly and arrived quickly; although the individually wrapped masks were not packaged together inside the box (they were just loose), the box was a 3M box and each mask is in its own sealed plastic sleeve.. Honestly, I cannot be more satisfied. The price is a fraction of lesser quantities and will last me for quite some time. I compared these with the ones I got at the hospital…they are the same. I wore one today and it was absolutely the same as any others I have worn.
