Just in, 2/10/21 New CDC guidance on double masking. The benefits are clear: In the CDC study, a medical procedure mask alone blocked 42% of particles from a simulated cough, while a cloth mask alone blocked 44%. A cloth mask covering a medical procedure mask blocked 92.5% of the cough particles. And don't layer another mask on top of a KN95, either. That mask should be used alone, the CDC says. https://www.npr.org/sections/coro...ronavirus?

ALERT, Office Depot may be sending out fakes. See image below, OD on right, not the same as pictured on OD and other sites. BonaFidesmasks certified dealer on left. Powecon mentions OD as selling fakes. Office Depot is no longer on Powecom's "Fraudulent Website" webpage. http://www.powecom.com/Fraudulent_Websites.html​

Not sure about the picture that is posted, but the masks that we received through another source are like the ones on the right and the packaging authenticity scratch off number passed the Powecom verification website. Bonafidemasks also provides a link to that "anti-fake check," so, either the right hand masks are also genuine, or the Powecom verification process doesn't work.

Powecom packaging has a scratch off verification number. You can go to http://www.powecom.com/verification.html and input the number that is revealed and the website will show whether they made that package or not.


98% efficiency when worn properly based on CDC testing:

Authorized by the FDA
These are on the list of non-NIOSH-approved respirator models manufactured in China that are authorized by this Umbrella EUA for emergency use during the COVID-19 public health emergency.

From https://www.cbsnews.com/news/n95-...ke-seized/
Consumers should generally avoid shopping for such masks on Amazon and eBay, experts say. Instead, people should refer first to the CDC's list of N95 alternatives that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approves for use in health care settings and try to buy them directly from the manufacturer.

Testing standards for KN95 is actually slightly more rigorous than the N95 designation (as shown here by 3M's comparison [3m.com]). It is a standard, but that doesn't mean people aren't producing fakes for easy money during a pandemic, just like fake N95s or the masks people buy from Etsy. Powecom KN95 masks have been tested 17 times by the CDC since April 2020 (https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npptl/r...sults.html) and have exceeded the N95 designation standard of 95%+ filtration every time except for once in May in which they tested at 93-94%.
These masks are very good but personally it's not much more for the two strap version which gives a more secure fit. I bought mine from bonafidemasks.com.
I received my two packages from Office Depot today. I went to the Powecom website and followed their instructions for verifying the masks. Both packages have the anti-fake sticker. I scratched the coating to reveal the validation code. And both codes check out as valid. So, it appears the two packages I got from Office Depot are not fake. But as a side note the photos you uploaded look just like my masks and packaging.

I got these last time around while waiting for shipment from bonafide masks. Office Depot had super fast shipping and price was also $1/mask. Masks also had QR code label to verify authenticity.

For me, the head strap version doesn't give a substantially better fit, and is more difficult to wear and take off, also making me more likely to touch the mask, or press and deform it. Therefore, I prefer the earloop version.

I have not used this mask. But just from the pictures, I can see it's at least much thinner and not as sturdy as the Powecom ones, which I ware everyday. Plus, it's so ugly, makes you look like a froglaugh out loud
Well one is certified by NIOSH to actually do something. I'll look like a duck if it means keeping the virus out of my lungs.

Nevermind, found them: Kimberly-Clark N95 Pouch Respirator (53358), Made in U.S.A, Universal Size, 50 Respirators/Bag https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08NVDF...cGbRRNWMTJ

Noticed these are not returnable, but to be fair most masks are probably not returnable. I bring it up because of the $57 cost. Many complaints for the KC mask is around the loose elastic so its somewhat of a gamble. The KN95 here is a smaller gamble at $10. Yes N95>KN95, but only if they fit properly.
You can also find Honeywell and Moldex N95s around the internet for around $2 a mask or so. I'll pay the extra dollar or two any day to get a N95 from a reputable brand.

First, I feel your pain.

Second, yup.. I picked up a few extras for stuff like this and I can always wear them during allergy season for things like mowing the lawn. With all this talk about masks I find myself more incline to wear one now for things other then Covid.

We need to remember:the main purpose of mask wearing is not to prevent and protect ourselves from getting sick, it is to prevent our spread of particles into the air if we are sick with symptoms or more importantly asymptomatic.

Kimberly-Clark is a reputable brand. Ever heard of Kleenex or Huggies?

These are good quality masks. Personally, I find that the headband style fits me better than the earloop ones. Both styles are proven to be effective and they've been reviewed multiple times for the FDA's Appendix A [fda.gov] list, which puts them way above other KN95 masks. Aaron Collins' excellent real-world testing [youtube.com] also showed that these masks are very effective at filtration without being difficult to breathe through. And, they're coming from a reputable vendor (unlike all the shady eBay and Amazon 3rd party ones). They're economical too - a good quality respirator like this can be used in rotation [nd.gov] for weeks - I get around 40 hours.

This is exactly the kind of mask that we all ought to be using. At this price, there's no reason to bother with so-called "surgical" masks, few of which have any sort of data to prove effectiveness.

What I am saying is that during the pre-price gouging era this was a standard price for this type of mask. A mask, which, similar to its name, 95% of the population has no actual need for wearing

You sound like you're a year late on the news

Germany just mandated medical grade masks. If other countries follow expect prices to go up again.

Quote from mdboyz69 :
thought this made from Korean, instead of China. I got allergic a word made in China showing front of my face.
But but China is quality now.. They got the best tooling and materials to make this. I bought a mask made from a mother's friend for 15 dlls... Do you think it is better than this china mask? Of course no...
I also at first refuse to wear the made in China on this mask... But honestly it is better than the wyze and others... Green color font and all stuff written on it make it look very pro.

I guess I should have specified. Kimberley Clark is a name brand. Powecome is not.
