Amazon's price just dropped to $24.99 (usually $50+) on this 50-pack of Kimberly-Clark "duck-style" N95 masks:
Kimberly-Clark PROFESSIONAL N95 Pouch Respirator (53358), NIOSH-Approved, Made in U.S.A., Regular Size, 50 Respirators/Bag, White [amazon.com]
If you want an
EXTREMELY LIGHTWEIGHT N95 mask and don't mind looking like a duck, these are a nice option, especially at this price. I would not rate them higher than the 3M Aura masks, especially if you like to wear the same mask over and over again, but if you can't stand the weight of a heavier mask like the 3M Aura, these are featherweight and do a decent job. They are similar to the Kimberly-Clark KLEENGUARD N95 masks.
UPDATE: See comment below. I found a review of this mask where it scored only 93.9% on filtration efficiency. That's obviously better than a cloth mask but the batch they tested failed the N95 standard.

That's close to N95 standard, but it fails.
When so many cheap masks score in the 97% to 99% range, it's actually kind of pathetic.
(Here's a practicaly/philosophical question: They say close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. Does it also count with masks if the mask is so comfortable that you're more likely to keep it on?)

If you aren't vain and have the confidence to pull this off, I would definitely recommend them. But if you're just going to worry about what people think then you'll never wear them.

Also, I remember you from protein deals back in the day
