WWDOLL KN95 Face Masks 50 Pack, Black

does the job

In the time of Covid, masks are incredibly important and their comfort and fit is paramount. My overall review is that these masks are comfortable and well made.

Fit. These masks are well made and comfortable. I have had a problem of straps being too small, too large, or simply snapping off. These straps appear to be in the Goldilocks zone. They are not too tight or loose and fit comfortably on my ears. The best part is that the stretchy straps keep the mask on your face tightly and securely while still being comfortable. The mask also has a bendable metal nose piece inside that keeps the mask tightly sealed around your nose. I have a beard and getting a tight fit can be challenging. However, the outer edge on these masks still seal properly and when I breath, the mask inflates and deflates, providing a solid air tight seal.

Comfort and looks. The masks are very comfortable. The inside is white and almost feels like soft velvet. The outside is a sleek dark black and has a nice patterned look. The deep black color is very nice looking. I have worn these masks in a professional setting and they work with suits. The masks are foldable, so easily stored or put in your pocket without ruining them. Because of the foldable aspect, the masks pop out on the fold in the front and give you a bit of a beak look. Maybe this makes it easier to breath because of the space, but who knows. Finally the outer edges do not dig into your skin and the mask feels fine against your face.

Quality. The masks appear to be high quality. They are stamped with KN95 and have individual serial numbers. The packaging looks legitimate, so I have no reason to believe that these don’t meet the standards of KN95 masks. They came in good packaging and none of the masks were torn or damaged. The ear straps have stayed on the masks so far and I have not had any problem with them breaking or snapping off, which has been an issue on other masks.

Customer service. When I ordered these masks, they never came. I got the Amazon notice that said you can seek a refund because it appears your package is lost. I contacted the seller and asked for a refund or the masks. The seller was very responsive and not only refunded me the money, but also sent me the masks. When I offered to pay again, they apologized for the delay and said I should just enjoy the masks. I would definitely buy from this seller again.

My final verdict is that these masks look sharp, fit well, and are comfortable. They are a definite buy.

These masks are exactly what I wanted. Will recommend to others.

Putting “Chengde Technology Co KN95” into the search engine, the top results are the CDC reports evaluating this mask. The number printed on these KN95s matches what is named and was tested in the CDC report (GB2626-2019). From the report, we know that the 30 samples that were sent to be evaluated were 99.8% effective, i.e. >95% effective in protecting against airborne particles. What we don’t 100% know, is whether the 50 units I was sent are indeed identical to the ones that were sent to the CDC. But I suppose we have to trust some things in life and move on.
The fit is OK – it’s a bit big for my face and sits just barely below my eye, which is a bit awkward (my husband does not have this issue). It does take quite a bit of tinkering with the nose clip to shape it for a good fit (the prominent European nose probably has something to do with that). And, as all KN95s do, this has ear straps whereas N95s always have over-the-head bands since it seals much better that way. So I will buy an extender to pull the straps towards the back of my head in an attempt to get a tighter fit. Without that, it really does leak (and pull in) air from the top, sides and bottom for me (again, not an issue for my husband or someone with a slightly bigger face/head, probably).
On the plus side, it passes the blow-out-a-candle test, seems good quality, and feels safer than most flimsy cloth masks out there, so I can definitely recommend these as matching the product description and images above.
