Fogs up my glasses which means not a perfect seal and several of the mask’s elastic bands have broke while wearing, leaving me holding the mask to my face. Still slightly better than the KN95 Japan junk masks that not only fog up my glasses, and also straps break, but they don’t provide the protection the n95 is supposed to provide. Not sure if there is much different but hope these N95 masks are protecting me better. I wouldn’t buy as as many as I purchased but good until you can find better protection. I am looking for a better N95 mask

Thank you for taking time to leave a review. Per the user instructions on the box, pre-stretching of the 8210 head strap is required prior to the initial use.
It is also very important to always follow the model-specific user instructions for your respirator and to do a user seal check (fit check) before each use. Remember, the better the seal, the more of the air that you breathe goes through the filter.
It’s super uncomfortable. If I knew that I wouldn’t order it

The bands are too tight and do not fit all. Two adults and two teens with norma-sized heads complained of pinching and tightness making it difficult to wear.

Thank you for your comments and product feedback. It is very important that your 3M N95 Respirator seals completely to your face. The elastic head bands are necessary in order for the mask to fit securely. If a respirator does not seal well to your face, airborne hazards can enter around the gaps between the faceseal and the face. If you cannot achieve a good seal with your respirator, you should try a different model until you find one that is well sized and seals well to your face. The straps on this respirator must be pre-stretched per the instructions inside the box.
While the mask itself is effective, the yellow straps break too easily.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for taking time to write a review. The elastic head bands on the 8210 respirator that go over your head are necessary in order for the mask to fit securely. If a respirator does not seal well to your face, airborne hazards can enter around the gaps between the faceseal and the face.
