3M Particulate Respirator 8210 Pack Reviews Summary

Fit and Comfort

Pros:

• "First, these are the most comfortable N95's I've ever used - they have a metal strip that you bend to keep the nose shape, but there is a foam strip on the inside that keeps it comfortable."
• "Easy to breathe through."
• "I was able to breathe comfortably and felt safe wearing it in public."
• "Love These For Work. They are comfortable to wear and don't have to worry about your ears hurting after a long day at work."
• "The fit is comfortable, and it doesn't compromise breathability."
• "These are as comfortable as a mask can be and did a decent job of keeping dust and particles at bay."
• "These masks are comfortable and do not change position because of movement of the mouth or face."

Cons:

• "The mask provides a tight seal; however, it presses on the face so hard it leaves a mark It is extremely uncomfortable to wear."
• "I felt like the elastics were too short which caused too much tension."
• "These masks are way too tight! Even when I stretch the bands they are excruciatingly tight and torturous when worn for an extended period of time."
• "I wouldn't say these are comfortable because after a while they start to hurt your face and your ears."
• "But they are very tight and uncomfortable until the straps stretch out."
• "The only downside was the fit was extremely tight around my head not snug."
• "The mask is too restrictive."

Quality and Authenticity

Pros:

• "It filters out the dust particles and the like extremely well."
• "Good quality and great Value. Cheaper than pre Covid."
• "Having been in the construction industry for 25+ years. I've purchased 3M N95 type masks the entire time. These are real, genuine and effective masks for noxious particulate matter, allergens, etc."
• "N95, the only mask that stands a chance of filtering virii."
• "There's a code on each package that you can type into a 3M website to verify that your package is the real deal."
• "These are the real deal, verified them on the 3M site."
• "3M has been a trusted supplier for medical use for years."

Cons:

• "This was not the real masks and poor quality even for a fake...my 3 yr old nephew could've made a better mask with his arts and crafts kit."
• "The yellow straps broke in the middle, the staple came off the yellow strap in some of them."
• "The edges are uneven."
• "They have no tension adjustment."
• "The package itself is not sealed in any way. the cardboard box top is not sealed and the plastic sleeve the masks are in inside the box is also unsealed."
• "The box came crushed. The masks are crushed."
• "I am so incredibly grossed out... someone had disposed of a greasy, used cupcake wrapper in the bottom of my box."

Strap Durability

Pros:

• "The straps fit snugly, but they don't hurt."
• "The elastic on the masks are really tight. I try to stretch them out but not sure they will. But the elastic is strong and has not torn yet."
• "Verified that the masks were a 3M N95 face mask. The straps never broke or became unattached to the masks as others have stated."
• "Amazingly, the rubber bands are strong and last a long time."
• "These masks are well made and fit securely to your face."
• "These are my favorite masks. They may feel tight to some people, but I like that they do not dislodge easily."
• "The straps are tight but they stretch if you stretch them slowly."

Cons:

• "Strap broke after one hour of use."
• "The only problem is the straps keep snapping off."
• "The elastic straps, which are supposed to hold the mask securely to your face, break VERY easily."
• "Under perfectly normal use these elastic straps break near the connection point of the mask."
• "The mask itself is acceptable but the lower elastic band breaks on every one the first day of use."
• "The straps break after putting the mask on a few times."
• "The straps keep breaking during one wear. Cheap rubber bands used instead of the customary strong straps."
