Review on 🌬️ Enhanced Protection: 3M Aura Particulate Respirator in Crisp White by Russ Charmin

They are very comfortable and secure and don't put uncomfortable pressure on the bridge of my nose like my previous hard goggle 3M (#8511 ) N95 mask did. A foam noseband runs across the entire inner upper, providing a comfortable, moldable, snug seal that keeps my goggles from fogging up better than my previous mask, except when I'm exhaling through my mouth or nose with a big breath, but even then it fogs up negligibly and disappears quickly. I couldn't wear the goggles in the right position with my hard mask, but this mask doesn't have that problem. The breath in this mask is slightly warmer than my previous KN95 with valve #8511 and on warm days I can feel the onset of light sweating above and below my lip, but for me it's worth having the full, all-around dense protection, that the N95 mask offers that the KN95 does not have. I like that they can be folded for portability. In case it helps, I have a medium sized head and a full face with a square jaw. The mask sits higher on the bridge of my nose than the guy in the photo, about half an inch above the inner corner of my eye, that's 8 inches (including the "duckbill" extension) top to bottom. Chin protrusion and approximately 6 inches side to side at the widest point of the chin protrusion area. The reviewer said the mask smelled like brine or salt vinegar shavings, and I agree they smell a bit like that (it's a foam nose strip and not the mask itself), but it didn't bother me, and as the same reviewer said you don't notice it after a while. The burned rubber mentioned in another review did NOT smell. sturdy N95 but top and bottom made of soft, flexible (reminds me of lightly worn jeans) and apparently more breathable fabric, the straps look like long wide flat rubber bands and appear to be securely braced. - I pulled them pretty tight by the ends and they didn't come out from under the clamps as they are smooth they don't slip. with my hair if I don't put it high enough on top of my head, but in this position it's comfortable and I hardly notice it. I was looking for something to replace my hard valve N95 and I am happy with it.
