Universal 4530 Heavy-Duty Non-Toxic Safety Mask
This
mask is great at creating a good seal around the mouth and nose. At
first, I thought that this is too stiff but when I gave one a try, I was
surprised that it conformed to the shape of my face rather well.
I
was also pleasantly surprised at how lightweight this mask is. After an
hour or so, I completely forgot that I was wearing it.
The mask
features a metal band positioned around the nose. When pressed against
the nose, the band will bend and form around the bridge of your nose,
creating a good seal around your nose and mouth.
The mask is held
in place by a single yet strong and elastic band. The band has just
enough elasticity to securely keep the mask flat against your face but
not so much that it is uncomfortably tight.
There
is one issue with these masks.
They are not NIOSH-approved N95 masks.
This might discourage some from even giving these respirators a try.
What We Like
- Conforms to the shape of the user’s face well
- Very lightweight and breathable
- Comfortable to wear even for long periods
- Completely seals the mouth and nose from the outside air
- Has a single strap that keeps the mask in place
Although
this face mask is not NIOSH-approved, if you are in a bind, this will
work better than just using a handkerchief to cover up your nose and
mouth. Besides, these masks might be N95 equivalent (at least in my
experience, they seem to be).
You are buying a pack of 50 face masks, which equals $1.90/piece.
