VitaCore CAN99™ Black/White Respirator Mask - 10/25 Pack (Headband)

My go-to mask is a 3M Aura 9210+ but I wanted something in black and heard great things about the CAN99. I was pleasantly surprised with the similar fit of this mask. I do add a foam nose strip to improve comfort and seal but otherwise, this is now my second best mask option and first option when I need something other than the stark white of the Aura.

The CAN99 fits my smaller adult face perfectly. It's comfortable for all day, including work and singing in choir!

I have a small face with a thin, high nose bridge and the 3M Aura has been the best and most comfortable fit for me throughout the pandemic. I like these as a black alternative but the lack of nose foam makes them far less comfortable for a full day in the office. I also find that the top panel of the tri-fold does not keep the front panel from squishing into my nose because the material is much thinner than the Aura's. The top of the mask also gets closer to the inner corners of my eyes than the Aura which can be slightly uncomfortable. Overall a great mask that fits about 95% the same as an Aura so I recommend it for anyone looking for that!

I've been wanting a black alternative the the 3M Aura and I'm so happy to have finally found one. These are slightly smaller than the Auras, which actually works better for me, and the straps feel very secure. I do wish they had a bit of nose foam to make it more comfortable, but that's an easy enough modification for me to make. These are more lightweight overall while still providing great protection.

Like many people, I've been desperately wanting a black n95 headband mask for years to go with my outfits but still provide the same level of protection as my auras do. These are PERFECT. I'm so glad they're finally being sold in the US. They're a little tighter than auras, which is great for me because auras have always felt a little loose around my chin. The straps also feel stronger and more secure. Overall, these are the perfect n95 for me!!

The masks feel initially kind of tight around my nose, but they are good quality. I find that these don't fog up my glasses as bad and they don't have any weird gaps in them. I love that the strap goes over the head.
