DF300 N95 Flatfold Disposable Respirator

Before I bought these, I saw a lot of people concerned about the punch outs located next to the welded points of the straps to the mask. I reached out to Honeywell and they informed me that the punch outs do not hinder efficacy and they are intended to be there. I also checked for this particular model number to see if there were any recalls or anything like that. I didn’t find any recalls and I did find this mask listed as part of the acceptable N95 list posted from the CDC. So if you have hesitations about these masks for that reason, don’t worry it’s working as intended. Some people might find these masks to be too small, they’re supposed to be tight fitting. If your mask is comfortable or loose fitted like the ones you can get in just about any store, they are not protecting you as intended. They need to feel snug to the face to create a seal but not quite a seal because if it was a seal you couldn’t breathe. You get what I mean. I've tested this mask on people with rather large heads and they were a little nervous about trying to stretch the straps over their heads but once they were confident that the straps weren’t going to break or anything, they were able to take the mask on and off without any problem. Of course when you have a big head these masks are going to look a little weird on you but so long as it’s covering your nose, mouth, chin and sitting flush to the face to create that snug feel, it’s working as intended. And so far these are working pretty good at keeping my glasses mostly fog free. But your mileage may vary. Overall I’m very happy with this purchase and I would definitely recommend getting these for yourself. KN95 would have been better but those are getting harder to find on the CDC list ever since the emergency order was lifted. If you are unsure about products, particularly if you see things in comments and the review photos that make you anxious or nervous, please contact the manufacturer to find out what’s going on with whatever it is you’re seeing and find out for yourself before deciding without any information that something is wrong with it.
