This guy tests a bunch of masks, these Powecoms are one of his current recommendations. Good filtration, although he notes that they're not as breathable as some of his other recs.

This is true, the official KN95 masks adhere to China's strict healthcare standards, which are equivalent to the US' N95 standard. In fact, Powecom is the only KN95 manufacturer that has been found by the FDA to perform well enough to be awarded an emergency use clause. In an emergency, American healthcare workers can use these very masks, as they've been found to be effective by our foremost public health agency, just fyi.

i use the powecom masks with the ear loops when i'm going to be in a public place for a short period of time, like running in to pickup takeout. i'll use the powecom masks with the handbands when i'm grocery shopping. works great with a 3d printed nose bridge to stop your glasses from fogging up

You obviously haven't tried these at all. These are way thicker than the 3m n95 masks. Controlled tests show these to be absolutely equivalent in filtration. But these particular ones are harder to breath in because they are considerably thicker. But the 3M N95 9502+ are also more expensive.

Hahahaha these are 10 times thinner than 3m N95 masks. You're on crack or you got fake 3ms. 9502+ are KN95 masks disguised as N95. Try all the other 3M N95 masks that are popular including 8210, 8200, 1860, 8511 and will come back embarrassed that you ever posted anything here. And I have 20 of these powecom masks. Would you like me to fwd you my receipt? Rolleyes

Sorry I don't tend to go by feel when judging protection for me and those around me. I don't think that feeling is calibrated to measure such a thing. I go by what the experts recommend and strongly advise you to as well. These masks are recommended by the FDA because of rigorous study, that should be your deciding factor.

Well any "expert" will tell you that a 3M N95 mask is superior to a KN95 mask with ear loops like this one. It's illogical to choose this over a 3M N95 mask. These were worth getting when N95 masks were hard to find and expensive. Now they're not. These are fine for KN95 masks even though the 3m KN95 masks are better but they are not in the same world as 3M N95 masks.

I don't disagree that N95 are more tested and a great choice, what I disagree with is the assertion that you can feel the protection. I love that you want to wear a mask with the most protection possible, we're on the same side here for sure, I just don't want people to get the idea that one can 'feel' protection or risk.

oh you can feel it alright. And just about any manufacturer or even seller can boast KN95 protection, that's why the majority of them available are not actual KN95 masks. But when you are getting a genuine 3M N95 mask, you know you are getting the best protection. I have hundreds and hundreds of masks. Tons of KN95 - everything from Powecom to no name brands. And I have tons of 3M masks, from their KN95 to the N95s including 8200,8210,8210v,1860 and 8511. And they are absolutely higher quality and will protect you more than KN95 masks. As mentioned, before when N95 masks were hard to find and expensive, KN95 masks were a good alternative. NOW, that N95 masks are more readily available and around the same price as these, it makes no logical sense to choose these over genuine 3M N95 masks.

To the people reading this. Neither cmw nor you nor I can feel the effective filtration of a mask. Both N95 and KN95 filter out 95% of particles above 0.3 microns, they're essentially the same standard. You definitely can't naturally feel if are more or less particles that small being allowed through the mask when you breathe.

These masks (specifically Powecom KN95) are approved by the FDA for US healthcare use under an emergency clause, there are N95 masks (the American standard) that are approved for that purpose all of the time. Both are obviously great options. The only thing feeling will tell you here is your own comfort, so pick the mask that seals best and feels most comfortable to you from these high performing standards.

I find that these are the very comfortable, but that's personal preference.

LOL! yeah listen to this guy. He's a true expert LMAO ear loop KN95 masks definitely offer the same sort of protection as headband 3M N95 masks LMAO a mask you can fold and put in your back pocket can definitely offer you the same protection as a mask you can lift and carry rocks in. The CDC authorized the use of KN95 masks as an ALTERNATIVE to N95 masks because N95 masks were not readily available. Now they ARE. Gee,
I wonder why N95 masks are approved for healthcare use in the US, while KN95 masks are NOT Rolleyes2 N95 masks must pass a rigorous inspection and certification process from NIOSH, while KN95 masks DO NOT. But yeah, they're the same, listen to this guy laugh out loud

Well gee I don't know, maybe before the current pandemic, producers made like pretty much no money off N95 masks? Why would they bother paying certification fees if they make no money on them? Btw, masks exported to Europe/Japan also don't bother N95 certifications either. On top of that, this is an ear loop design and in order to be N95 certified, it has to be handband design, maybe that?

And furthermore, KN95 (non counterfeit) is actually SAFER than N95 if you can get a proper seal with earband design. This is because KN95 has higher safety requirements whereas N95 has breathability requirements. So the fact that KN95 is THICKER than N95 generally is a statement of fact, this is right from the 3M website.

Also, 90+% of N95 masks are produced in China, from some of the same factories that they produce these KN95 masks.

You're still not acknowledging that the FDA found these masks effective.
On top of that, a government has a vested interest in keeping its people safe, I would have no issues trusting a government owned PPE supplier.
Also, country of origin correlates strongly with race. As an example you can say "I don't like taco/falafel/pasta/whatever eaters" and that would be racist because of the correlation.
The FDA has removed that recommendation.... "revoked" in summer 2021 you can see in newer comments w/link...

The CCP government keeps its people safe?
How about Uighurs in China?

The CCP has forcibly taker over Hong Kong and looking towards Taiwan next.. yeah you're wise to trust them to be on the up-and-up. Snuggle up to your KN95 stockpile I guess and keep on accusing strangers of being racist. Classy.

The emergency use clause remains we're just not in a PPE emergency anymore, so you're wrong.

Where can we choose to get the N95 masks? Where do you buy?

As many point out, when someone argue N95 masks no longer hard to find and not expensive compare to KN95, please provide link to a reliable trustworthy store/seller that you can buy it from right now. 3rd party sellers of major online store (like Amazon) and eBay sellers usually won't be count as trustworthy since there are so many fake mask out there so may need more scrutiny.

Are you protecting from a 99 to 98% survival rate virus or Ebola that killed 50% of infected? The "risk" varies I'd say.
