VitaCore CAN99™ Black Respirator Mask - 10 Pack (Headband)

I loveee these thank you so much for making a black headloop respirator.. I feel so cool in them/they go much better with outfits, and also I'm protected against airborne pathogens, viruses, and people's bad breath. Thank yoU! :)

Love this mask!

1. It is small, fits me fine though
2. No foam on nose, so I don't feel safe using this mask in high risk situations
3. No NIOSH cert, so again don't feel safe using it in high risk.

For smoke and allergies though, awesome mask.

These N-95s (or n-99s?) are one of the only ones, or rather the first black ones actually that I have bought.
The color is what I was after for it to be a bit more stylish. It overall has a little bit atypical of a style that wouldn’t necessarily be my first choice. But it’s still better than most other options it seems.
They seem to work well. The design is alright; it seems to fit without air leaks that are detectable as far as I can tell. It seems more safe than the black n95s that I had sometimes used for sure. So it feels a lot safer and comforting especially when many around are getting sick.

These high-quality respirator masks fit great on my smallish face. They are comfortable and breathable, and I am so happy to have an option in black.

Got these hoping to replace my white 3M Auras.
Comparing to the Aura, I noticed the following:

STRAPS:

Pro: Straps are covered with a nice cloth-like material -- doesn't stick in hair

Con: Straps aren't as stretchy as Aura. The bottom strap is looser than I'd like. I wished it fit more snugly.

MASK:

Pro: Very classy-looking. Love the black. It's just no contest. People treat me better in this mask vs the Aura.

Con (for me): The fit is a bit strange. My nose feels a little smushed, (and my nose isn't at all long or pointy). My husband, whose nose is longer and sticks out more, also complained his nose felt smushed. Yet at the same time, somehow the top trifold (starting from the bridge of the nose) seems to have extra material that's not needed. On the other hand, the bottom trifold under my chin tends to ride up, and I have to keep adjusting it to stay below my chin. While it doesn't feel secure under my chin, the mask digs into my cheeks on the sides. I guess it just doesn't fit my face very well, sadly.

OFF-GASSING
Pro: Unlike the Aura, this mask doesn't off-gas. Whenever I open a new Aura, it smells quite toxic and it takes about a week for it to off-gas. This one, I can grab a mask right out of the box and I don't get bothered by any bad smells. It feels safer from an off-gassing perspective.

SEAL:
This mask has no foam around nose bridge. I like the foam in the Aura. That being said, the seal without the foam is pretty good--better than expect. However, I still feel like the seal is inferior to the Aura. Disclaimer: I haven't had this mask fit-tested yet.

OVERALL, I don't think I'll wear this mask in the highest-risk settings because the fit & seal doesn't feel quite right on me, but I'd feel comfortable wearing it for quick errands or in crowded outdoor settings. For those who find this mask to fit well, they're in for a treat.
