Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I have conducted the respirator fit testing for my clinic for the last 4 years. We typically offer 3 styles of N95 respirators to our clinic employees. I have been fit tested on all three and this is by far the most comfortable one to wear. It's comfortable and effective and, unlike some of the hard shell type masks, you can easily "fit check" yourself to see if you have a good seal. I have no problem wearing it with my glasses on. The general public needs to be aware that medical personnel undergo annual respiratory fit testing to make sure they have a good fit and seal. Without this testing, you cannot be sure that the mask is properly fitted to your face, and therefore protective.
