all of the powecon I've had are a good fit for my big head. The strapped ones are too tight but the ear loops are fine and preferable for me. FYI, word is the EUA was withdrawn from FDA since N95 became more available. Just search SD for Powecon, it's highly rated but has been cheaper. $3 with curb side pickup.

I ordered some of these last time and I call that claim of "adult size" as some grade A bull. These are tiny and they hurt my ears. Had to toss.

I remember people saying the black version of these masks in the same brand were made smaller then the original white ones.

I picked up last time and not sure what's wrong with them but man they don't even last a day. All of them, all of them would start loosing threads from inside and would start irritating the nose. Man, i have scratch frequently. I got these directly from manufacturer multiple times over last and didn't have this issue ever once. Don't know if it is old stock or something else

I bought white ones a month ago. Not sure if anything has changed but mine were tiny.

Great deal. They were like $10 a few months ago. FDA approved too.

Keep in mind these are the slightly cheaper non-medical version. Powecom sells medical ones too, which have a hydrophobic coating that helps even more with repelling or containing viral particles.

Healthcare provider here. The hydrophobic layer on the medical version really only matters if you are close and you're creating droplets through your medical procedure or getting coughed or sneezed on from a close distance. If you're wearing these for general protection in public they are just fine. This is what I wore the last time I was on a plane. If I were wearing them in a high risk medical environment, I would have a standard medical mask over the top for the hydrophobic layer.

yes, hard to find the moisture medical grade and these are still quite good. The also recently released a "child size" KN95 just in time for school. I'm glad I don't have kids in school right now.

You may have heard that the FDA recently revoked Emergency Use Authorizations (EUA) for KN95 masks, which are manufactured to Chinese standards. While KN95s are no longer authorized for healthcare workers given the abundant supply of N95 respirators, they are still appropriate for consumer use, and the Powecom KN95 efficacy (BFE) has tested similar to NIOSH approved N95s. https://bonafidemasks.com/

For a short time these were $7 for a box of 50,
At the time I only ordered 1 box thinking the prices would go down
The pandemic seemed to subside for a bit but both vaccinated and unvaccinated just
Partied it up , now masks are back in high demand and it's pricey again.
