not like they used to be

I have used the 3M 8210 respirator for years. These respirators are not of the same quality as they were pre-pandemic. The rubber straps are not bonded well, and break easily. Even pre-stretching the straps does not help. The previous style had an elastic strap, not rubber, and it was bonded fully through the material, not glued to the surface as the new style. If this is 3M's new design, I will be looking for a better replacement.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Weak Straps!
on March 9, 2021

I have purchased 3m N95s before and I would normally rate them as 5. But I am disappointed in this recent version. The straps are made of inferior grade materials and break easily while putting them on. In the past, for light usage tasks, I had been able to reuse the mask multiple times. This mask was only worn a few times and a strap broke. I reattached it, and it instantly broke again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thanks for your feedback and sorry that we did not meet your expectations.
Some of the strap breakage may be due to not stretching the straps prior to donning. Please see the box and user instructions on how to pre-stretch the straps before putting on the respirator.

Normal N95
on March 6, 2021

I work in a factory where we do a lot of machining, polishing, and grinding. I've worn these masks or other 3M N95 masks for 8 hours a day, for a few years now. I can usually get a week out of them before the strap breaks, but that is more than enough time since they are pretty dirty by then. This is accomplished by stretching the straps before use.
The straps are tight for the first day, but stretch out as you wear it and it becomes more comfortable.
It seals tight around my face and is comfortable around my nose. The breathability is good and as the mask gets brown and dirty, the inside stays perfectly clean as it should.
Only downsides are they are a little tough, but not impossible, to wear with safety glasses and during the summer when its hot, it's a little uncomfortable- not unlike most masks. In the summer I prefer to wear the 8210V that features an exhalation valve for better cooling and exhaling. I also found the 9010 fold type mask allows for easier usage of glasses due to its design.
I rate all 3 masks 5 stars.

Straps pull out immediately, rendering product useless.

Not a quality product

Like others, I found the top strap snapped immediately when stretched. I also thought it might be counterfeit but the lot numbers checked out. I understand that one is supposed to pre-stretch the straps but it's easy to forget when trying to meet patient needs quickly in a clinic setting. Not the quality I expect from 3M.

very uncomfortable

This mask is so tight. Im not a big guy...6'3'' and 220 lbs. The straps usually break when putting over my head and once on tight around my head. Why not make larger sizes??? I work in healthcare and this is the only mask we are allowed to use.

While the 8210 fits a wide version of face shapes and sizes, some may need a smaller or larger respirator. Pre-stretching the straps per the user instruction will help prevent them from breaking when donning.

Easier to breathe and talk

Easy to breathe and talk. Fits very snug and if you pinch nose piece helps end fogged glasses. Elastic broke third wear.

Do these help protect from covid?

When properly fitted and worn, the 8210 helps reduce inhalation exposure to particles including biological aerosols. For more information, please see https://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/409903O/respiratory-protection-against-biohazards.pdf
