Dr.Puri [20 Pack] New Micro-Dust Protection Face Premium Mask (KF94)

Outdoor in crowded places for protection

From the multitude of different mask brands I have tried, this is by far the most comfortable and well built KF94 mask. This is the go-to brand of choice If you are looking for a quality & trustworthy mask to keep you & your family protected. Pictured Dr. Puri (black) vs. other popular brand (white) for comparison. Why Comfortable? 1) Thicker & softer ear bands: the ear bands on conventional masks can really start to hurt when you wear them often. The Dr. Puri ear bands are thicker & softer than others. I can wear them all day without feeling much pressure on the back of my ears 2) Softer surface: this mask uses very soft fabrics on its surface. Conventional masks can start to become scratchy when worn for a long time. The softer surface on Dr. Puri really make a huge difference - especially for kids and adults with sensitive skin 3) Ear bands are attached to the outside of the mask: This seems like a small detail, but is very important for especially kids. When the ear bands are attached to the inside of the mask, the sewing/seam can get itchy - prompting kids to constantly touch/rearrange their masks with increased risk in exposure. Dr. Puri has the ear bands sewn in on the outside. Also, goes to show that the makers of Dr. Puri were very thoughtful in their design choices Why Trustworthy? It’s US FDA registered. It’s Korea FDA approved for KF94. It’s made in Korea. There are many mask brands out there that claim protection efficiency and/or KF94, this product actually has the substantiation from credible sources.

I have tried so many KF94 masks and keep coming back to this one. They are soft and have a velvety look to them, the earloops are very comfortable, although I clip them in the back for a really tight fit against my cheeks as that is the key to a well fitting mask. I like the trifold design as it fits snugly under my chin and I dont have to keep adjusting it when I am speaking. I just got the ones with the adjustable ear loops which I thought would be good because working all day with a clip in the back puts a little pressure on the top of my ears. The ear loops are great and provide the snug to the cheek feeling that I prefer, but out of habit, I just feel safer using a clip in the back. With the Delta variant being so infectious, I am back to wearing these everywhere I go. I have seriously tried many KF94s, Botn, Bluna, Ilwoul, Blue...I rate these as my fav for comfort, filtration, fit, and style.

We have been wearing these masks for several months and have been pleased with the quality. Please note that these masks have ear loops rather than elastic that goes around your head; elastic head straps are the U.S. standard for N-95s. We have also purchased more expensive U.S.-made, NIOSH-certified, N-95s directly from the manufacturer (rather than on Amazon) that we use sparingly for indoor environments that cause us particular concern. The N-95s are more expensive, and we use the Dr. Puri's more routinely. We use size L for the whole family and tie the ear straps to make the mask fit better for our 12 year old. One of the reviews here claims that these are 'counterfeit' and then suggests googling Dr. Puri and CDC. Since these are a Korean product, they are not certified by NIOSH, which is the U.S. standard. However, the CDC tested 10 samples and found that "The maximum and minimum filter efficiency was 99.94% and 99.85%, respectively." NIOSH doesn't certify the supply chain either because it is a Korean product. I haven't found any indication that this is a counterfeit product, and the CDC article does not say this either.

Product deserves 5 stars, but invariably they ship it in inappropriate packaging that does not protect the product. The Dr. Puri box is often torn and/or crushed. It should be shipped in a cardboard box or be protected by some sort of padding.

Below is my original review. since then I have worked ensuing these masks as they are comfortable. I found that if I tuck the top bridge under my glasses they don't fog up as often. It isn't perfect, but it works well enough that I have switched to using these masks as my go to mask. Here is the original review: I have been searching for masks that will not fog my glasses. Being in the NE USA, this is a big deal. At the advice of my brother, I bought these. The masks seem to be decent quality but no matter how I try to adjust them, they fog my glasses. And, fo me, they also cause a slight headache - other masks don't. I suspect its just a matter of fit on my head. Again, nice quality - look like they will do the job, but just not working on my head with my glasses.
