Allett Reusable Polypropylene Non Woven Flex Wire Reviews Summary

Comfort and Fit

Pros:

• "The tie masks are very comfortable and fit quite well."
• "The mask fits securely around all contact points of the face, and the metal nose piece to form around the nose is essential."
• "These masks fit well. We can breathe easier in them than other masks we have purchased."
• "The ear bands are not so tight that it hurts, but do feel secure in the mask covering the face."
• "The chin area is sewn to contour around your chin for a tighter seal."
• "This mask fits great with no gaps on the side."
• "The design allows it to fit nicely over the nose and under the chin."

Cons:

• "They do not fit securely around the cheek bones, nose, and chin."
• "But it's way too loose on the sides of my face and the ears loops are a little loose, also."
• "The mask was one of the first results I was given when searching for “XL mask.” I’ve got a pretty big nose and this mask barely covers it and my chin."
• "The ear loops were so long that when I placed them over my ears they hung down about an inch below the ears."
• "The masks are too large for my face, with gaps at the sides, too high near eyes and too low under the chin."
• "They are so small they don’t fit my face and unfortunately I’m now stuck with two pieces of crap that don’t fit."
• "Seems to be pretty small. Disappointed in small tight fit."

Material and Durability

Pros:

• "The material is soft and thick, and the color and style work for me."
• "Washed many times and still holding up."
• "The inner layer is made from a more structured material so you don't get a nose full of fabric when you breathe in."
• "I like how sturdy and comfortable these masks are."
• "These masks are protective & well-made. Polypropylene/Polyester/GoreTex layer of this mask provides superior protection & filtration, far better than cotton alone."
• "This mask has the Health Canada recommended polypropylene layer. It is the first mask out of dozens that is a snug fit and doesn't have gaps."
• "The mask is secure at the sides and the material inside provides a great filter."

Cons:

• "Washed the mask before wearing it for the first time as instructed, but the mask completely fell apart in the washing machine."
• "The metal piece that forms the nose bridge shifted to one side and I am not able to make it go back to the other side."
• "However, after one wash the area that holds the metal nose piece came apart a bit and now I have that metal nose clip exposed."
• "The inner layer said to be Polypropylene is NOT it is just polyester and they do not give returns!"
• "These masks are poorly sewn. The stitching holding the mask ties has unraveled on two of the four masks I purchased."
• "After less than a month of use, the nose wire in one of the masks snapped in half at the top of the bridge."
• "As soon as they are washed once the inside of the mask becomes very itchy and fuzzy making it uncomfortable."

Design and Features

Pros:

• "The nose area can be pinched to make a seal which is important for effectiveness and do your glasses don’t fog up."
• "The bridge wire is long and stays put when you bend it."
• "There is a piece of flexible metal in the nose which I have flexed hundreds of times and it still works and in place."
• "The metal insert at the nose line is easy to shape to my face and does a good job preventing my glasses from fogging up."
• "The metal piece in the bridge keep glasses from fogging up."
• "The metal across the nose to keep the mask in place kept our glasses from fogging up."
• "The nose clip is comfortable and form fitting."

Cons:

• "This mask won't protect you or others from virus. It's only two layers, the inner layer polypropylene."
• "I was pleased with all aspects of this product except it is only two layers, and CDC recommends three."
• "The metal piece that forms the nose bridge shifted to one side."
• "Needs to have a thicker/strong piece of metal to keep form to really hold to the face in the nose area which is where all the hot air seems to come blowing up at."
• "Got for polypropylene construction but mask has flimsy seal around nose bridge."
• "There is a nose mold on it, but it's a very poorly constructed one and doesn't clamp the nose very tightly."
• "The metal on the nose area is delicate."

Value and Cost

Pros:

• "Being $25 for a pair it’s about $12.50 per mask and there is a set of directions so your pair of masks can last longer, even being machine-washable. But trust me this makes up the value."
• "These masks may be a little bit pricey, but they are worth every penny!"
• "They are a little expensive but they are worth it!"
• "I will buy more in the future; the price is a little higher but, I will tell you its worth it."
• "A very comfy face mask worthy of the value it is."
• "This is a high quality mask at a great price."
• "Worth the $$."

Cons:

• "Now I have a worthless mask and no money."
• "Also cannot be returned for refund."
• "Paying $20 for 2 facemasks I expected better quality."
• "Do not buy. Expensive ($25) and NOT returnable."
• "This is a poorly made product and I don't recommend purchasing it."
• "The masks are two very thin layers and poorly constructed."
• "When these masks arrived, I was skeptical that they would warrant the $25 price tag."
