– 1ABOVE 100 PCS -3-Layer Protective Disposable Face Masks, Breathable Face Mask,High Filterability, Sutaible For Sensitive Skin (Blue)

To date, these are the best value masks I've come across. Back in Apr, I had paid £33/100, then early June £23/100, and late June £14/100, all in similar good quality from another supplier. This order arrived quickly and very well packed for safe transit. Each 50 masks and the inspection certificate are factory sealed in a clear plastic bag and then packed in the box as shown on the listing photo. For this type of 3 ply disposable mask, the fitting is very good, the material is pleasant enough against the skin, while the bendy wire works well for it's intended purpose. Some reviewers commented that it does not fit snugly on the sides, but this is just the nature of this type of disposable mask, especially if your face is on the bony or narrow side. To gain the best fit, you do need to shape and mould the wire very well against the skin before pulling the mask under the chin. For a really snug fit all around, you will need to get the much more expensive N95 type. The mask also passed the 3 basic tests with flying colours, indicating that they are properly manufactured using appropriate materials. Firstly, I cut the mask and tested each layer for waterproofness, none let any water through when each one was filled with running tap water. Then I burned each layer with a lighter to see if they are indeed made with non-woven melt blown fabric as claimed, all 3 layers melted and did not catch flame. Finally, I tried to blow a lighter flame whilst wearing the mask, and I was unable to do so after many attempts. Some reviewers complained about the elastic being easily breakable, but I have come to realise that this is actually caused by over tugging when the mask is being removed from the bag. To avoid weakening the welded joint, I have transferred the masks into a larger ziploc type bag and straightened out the elastics so that the masks are no longer tightly compacted inside the box with the elastics folded over and tangled up. These 1Above masks are fit for purpose and I am very pleased to have discovered them. Thank you MADE IN CHINA.

Face mask disposable perfect fit with nose clip. Breathable 3 ply mask. Worth the money delivery in time.

It's comfortable, breathable and worth the money. The only thing is that the bit that goes around your ears (the elastic) is fragile and I have sometimes snapped it when taking it out of the box. It's never snapped whilst on my fave and once I'm wearing it I have no issues. These types of masks are really good for people who wear glasses. They're the only masks that don't fog up my glasses every 20 seconds. Good product

So I bought these for the family. Always lasted although we only use the mask for a day’s work or school. The wife (I mean the boss) wears these in the NHS and are comfortable. Even the kids use these. They are a decent quality and do not break very easily. We have re-ordered and as a surprise, I bought some pink ones for the wife. Like all similar masks, the trick is to fold the mask in half. At the half mast, pinch it and this goes on your nose. Regardless of nose size and helps a little with glasses. However like all other masks, spectacle wearers will always get a little fogging.

I’m still not convinced that covid precautions should be abandoned and still prefer to use face masks at the minute. We needed some new ones as the supplies were getting a little low and I came across these. They were priced at £11.99 for 200 masks, they came in four boxes with 50 in each. What I find strange is that they advertise as a trusted UK based brand, however the masks themselves are made in china. This could be misleading to some. They have a CE mark printed on side but they just don’t feel overly protective, in my opinion. Compared to my usual ones, plus the fact I use masks daily in work they just feel too light and thin. It has a thin piece of plastic which can be moulded to fit the nose to give a tighter fit, but as a glasses wearer I still found I steamed up. I did notice that they have a strange smell when you first place them on, like cheap bin bags, strange and a little off putting. The inner side doesn’t feel as fluffy as some, which is a plus, as not as itchy. They do feel lighter when wearing and comfortable but I do have concerns that they are not as effective as other I have tried. There are indeed three layers as stated, I have cut it open, but they feel too thin for the purpose intended. However, any type of face protection is better than none and as only usually for quick shop trips they should do the job, but if you are looking for more clinical jobs these may not hit the mark in my opinion.

When my family household fell down with an illness, I was really scared that I too was going to end up with COVID-19. I made sure to follow advice of keeping distance, wearing mask and washing hands and did get the odd laugh or three, but there's a saying "He who laughs last, laughs longest". All my family tested positive apart from me. Nothing is really funny about this of course, COVID-19 is a terrible thing and I can only hope and wish the best for everyone who catches and has to deal with it daily. Lots of misinformation and uncertainty leads to a cataclysm of resisting, but at the end of the day, we have to follow the science. If there's a chance of dying, why risk it to prove a point? I am really fortunate that my family, (a lot are vulnerable) survived and made a full recovery but I cannot urge enough to take safe steps to slow down the spread of this horrible disease where other people may not be as fortunate as my family and in that regard, these masks are a massive step in slowing the spread. I also noticed that in shops, they were selling them 10 pieces for £5 so when I seen 50 for this price I was a bit worried and anxious but they were in the exact same packaging and were the superstore equivalent. So these are great value and plus now knowing that they did actually work. Sending my well wishes to everyone. Stay safe.
