I bought several of these when they were 15. They are, by far, the best every day masks I've ever worn. The flexible nose metal works much better than other cloth masks, and while the inner filters are disposable, you can indeed wash them.
Forgive me if I trust every public health agency on the planet over Soldiercocklemore from SlickDeals.
As a doctor, I have worn surgical masks every day for over a year to protect myself. My wife (who is also a doctor) has seen and examined more than a hundred patients with C19 in her nursing homes this past year, and has worn N95 and KN95 masks. Neither of us ever got infected (despite her being coughed on a number of times).
US hospitals have implemented isolation policies since the 1970's. Patients who are admitted with certain conditions are put on "droplet precautions" -- for diseases such as influenza, meningococcus, H flu, rhinovirus, adenovirus, pertussis, etc. Anyone entering the room of a patient on droplet precautions must wear a surgical mask.
The US faced large cultural barriers to mask wearing, which hasn't been helped by the political polarization. There's a reason that we are #1 in COVID cases and deaths by a large margin.

Bought a couple of these in the early days of the pandemic for my husband. He manages our store which is an essential business so we have stayed open this whole time. He has to face tons of customers day in and day out. He has not gotten COVID or even a cold or cough ever since. I know this is purely anecdotal evidence so take it for what it is but even at full price I think they are well worth it.
Double masking is recommended and I like this fit better. I also use a velcro headband my ears are free.
No one said to double mask using a KN95/N95 though.. if you have one or the other you don't need to double mask. They recommend that because people use home made cloth or surgical type masks which aren't effective at all. But I guess, go ahead.

No way to know for sure without any scientific testing. They "seem" good.
Why not just wear the KN95 then?
