HALYARD FLUIDSHIELD Level 3 Disposable Face Mask with SO SOFT Earloop Mask, Made in the Americas, Level 3, 28797

Very well made. The mask is thick and comfortable to wear for long periods of time.

I learned about these during a recent trip to Johns Hopkins. They are a superior mask, because there is a reinforced strip on the top of the mask that pads it and greatly lessens eyeglasses becoming foggy. Durable.

These masks are given to visitors at various hospitals. Once I used one I knew this was the mask I needed to wear. Other masks, even some cloth ones, which I had used in the past do not compare to these masks at all in terms of strength, efficacy, and comfort. Highly recommend.

Excellent product and price.

These masks are thicker and sturdier than the regular cheapo ones I usually buy on Amazon. (They also cost $5-$10 more per box.) The cheapo ones work fine for many of my needs; I don't spend a lot of time outside the home even without a pandemic. But my friend and housemate has cancer. She's had chemo and a stem cell transplant and is literally "growing" a new immune system. She's the very picture of "immunocompromised." She relies on me to not bring home any illness that could kill her. (Not just the Coronavirus.) I ordered these because they're the same brand and protection level (fluid, level 3) as the medical team wears at the cancer treatment center. PROS: • They're definitely thicker, constructed a little sturdier, and have stronger and more padded earloops than the cheapos. • They have a better (metal?) nose piece that forms a better seal and keeps your glasses from fogging up as much. CONS: • If you're already not comfortable with mask wearing in the first place, or have major anxiety over masks, these might feel a little too thick for you. • These feel scratchy just where the earloops attach to the mask on the upper inside. Just those two spots. It's fine if you only wear a mask for short periods of time—in & out of the store, etc. But if you have to stay masked for hours... it can be pretty irritating. For about $15/box (I pay $5-$8 for the cheapos) I would expect these to be a LOT more comfortable. • These masks are DEFINITELY ORANGE. Not pink as stated & shown. If you don't care about the color, and you want a little sturdier mask, get these. If you need to wear masks for long periods of time, I might look for something that's a little more comfortable. I alternate between these and the cheapo ones depending on my needs.

Heavier duty than regular "cheap" masks. Feels more like fabric material than paper. Also has a cushion where it crosses your nose. More comfortable than cheap masks.

Best quality!

I've been burned before by fake masks sold on Amazon, but these are the real thing: ASTM Level 3 protection; Halyard Branding on each noseband; comfy ear loop material; box lid is perforated for sanitary dispensing; and the best part -- the Halyard lot number and expiration date sticker in the end. So you know these are authentic. As masks go, these are quite comfortable. I had wondered with the higher level of protection if they'd be uncomfortable for long periods, but they are surprisingly comfortable. The foam on the inside of the noseband makes for a comfortable fit, while helping prevent fogging glasses.
