They are offering 5% off the new low price of $9.30 for the Black - FDA Authorized Powecom KN95 Face Mask Respirator 10 packs and free shipping in the United States. It applies to all of the bulk pricing tiers.
Coupon Code: SAVE5
Breakdown: Bulk pricing savings here is a quick rundown with the coupon discount taken off the site:
10 masks: $9.30 With Coupon: $8.83 ($0.88 per mask)
20 masks: $18.00 With Coupon: $17.10 ($0.86 per mask $8.60 per 10 pack)

100 masks: $75.00 With Coupon: $71.25 ($0.71 per mask or $7.10 per 10 pack)
The Powecom masks were tested by NIOSH/NPPTL 10x with 10 masks in each batch, test results can be found here[cdc.gov] which shows that they have well over 95% efficiency. These were TESTED but not APPROVED by NIOSH as the approval process is different and more complicated.
Note that the testing done is only for the filter material, and does not account for proper fit. Many people may have difficulty achieving a proper fit/seal with the ear loop design which is why NIOSH Approved N95 masks all have the head band design. Bonefide does offer the head band design[bonafidemasks.com] which likely fits better.
Aaron Collins[yahoo.com], a mechanical engineer with a master's thesis on aerosols, has done his own aerosol testing with Powecom earloop masks and he did get over 97% efficiency[google.com] with the mask on his face.
Regarding their shipping speed:
Do not trust their shipping and delivery estimates ! I have ordered from them twice now and both times the delivery was actually 6+ days AFTER the delivery date they gave me during checkout. First time I ordered via ground shipping and the order arrived 10 whole days after what I was told during checkout. Second time I ordered with Express shipping, and still my package arrived 6 days later ! ... They take a really really long time to actually ship the item from their end ! Do not fall for their words when they say they "try to ship all orders within 1 business day" ..
Or maybe do trust their shipping speed. I've received my orders within the timeline provided. YMMV...
I ordered these last time they were posted and cut one open for pics for those wondering. I also lit a candle and put on a mask and tried to blow it out and wasn't able to. Last, I filled up the mask with water and it didn't leak for the minute I held it over the sink. The outside of it wasn't wet either. I added a pic of it full of water but you can't really tell in the pic.
FYI the black ones are stiffer, they have a smell and the ear straps are about 50% tighter. I have both colors and would choose the white ones next time, not worth the black ones looking better. IMO

These are good quality masks. They 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. Personally, I find that the headband style fits me better than the earloop ones (same filter material); they're also available in black here: https://bonafidemasks.com/face-ma...ace-masks/
This is exactly the kind of mask that we all ought to be using. At this price, there's no reason to bother with makeshift cloth masks or so-called "surgical" masks, few of which have any sort of data to prove effectiveness.
Quality yes. I can't speak into any of the health aspects of them (I'm not a doctor at all), but they're made well and this is a great price. I also like that they're black and not white or blue like most other masks.
I ordered some 3M N95 masks and prefer these over the 3M's because the foam on the 3M (around the nose) leaves a glue residue on my face after wearing them for a tad and it's a weird sticky feeling.
I bought 50 kn95 for about $17 off eBay and compared them to the powecom ones that bought. The ones I bought off eBay appears to be of higher quantity. If you interested I can provide the link for the eBay purchase.
