Shawmut Protex N95 Particulate Respirator (Cup)

I bought a box of the Shawmut brand N95s for myself and my mom. They are very snug and well made. I purchased them to wear while in the airport and on the plane. I';m very happy with my purchase and with Armbrust. I';d previously ordered some surgical masks and am equally happy with those.

This is the mask for me! Being a high school science teacher during the Covid pandemic has left me quite anxious. With up to 34 students in each of my classes who don';t always mask well, I was nervous. With rising Covid cases in our community, once Delta hit, I was determined to ramp up my masking protocols by finding a US made N95 that worked for me. The Shamut N95 from Armbrust has fit the bill! I tried the IFM N95 mask also from Armbrust but found that it didn';t fit my face that well. The Shawmut mask has a lot going for it.

Here';s a synposis:
Pros: NO MORE FOGGING GLASSES!! This mask provide a tight seal all of the way around the edge--including around my nose. The foam strip glued on the inside of the mask (directly under the metal nose bridge) provides a very comfortable sealing surface. The metal nose bridge is wide enough and long enough to provide the seal I was hoping for. In addition, the metal is stiff enough that even if I remove the mask, the metal keeps its shape- no need to "refit" the mask when I put it back on. I find the mask easy to breath through and not too bad at muffling my voice (critical for a classroom teacher). But, it does muffle some. This has to be true for all N95 masks.

Cons: The tension on the straps is pretty high after I put the mask on. I suppose this is how that tight seal is maintained. Maybe it';s my large sized head, but this does add a bit of discomfort as the day goes by. Then again, I know that the mask is sealing correctly!

If you';re looking for tight fitting, American made, comfortable mask sold an incredible company, then checkout the Shamut N95 from Armbrust. I';m glad that I did!

Work great and are very comfortable and easy to breath in.

I actually bought these to wear on the airplane for my trip in 2022. I have asthma and it’s very Important to keep myself safe. I might wear one at church as well because of the close contact with people.

Made in the USA means a lot! Thank you.

We have been purchasing Armbrust masks ever since they began manufacturing is the US. They fit great, have no odor and there is no hint of breathing in fibers. They are also very well priced. Tell your friends. Heck tell your enemies! Tell anyone who will listen to purchase these made in USA masks. Don’t let us lose to overseas manufacturing again.

The AA-1776 FFR is a high quality comfortable mask. You will definitely notice the good seal it creates while wearing the mask. The mask also keeps it';s shape reasonably well. With the Delta variant of COVID-19 running rampant, I feel safer with this mask, especially when I am in situations where I need to be around other individuals who prefer not to wear masks.

Perfect for flying these days where you’re packed in like sardines again! I have found them to be comfortable for a flight of two hours or more.

Fantastic fit and tremendous quality!!!!!!

These masks got my daughter through PreK last year and we can go out and do things together safely. We were even protected from exposure from a close friend who had no idea she had COVID. These are the masks my daughter will be wearing on the first day of kindergarten in two days. I have seen packs of masks for $5, $10, but why would I value my daughter';s health so little? Ambrust masks are worth every penny! She likes how light they are and she doesn';t chew them like she did with cloth masks. We get compliments everywhere we go on the color! Thank you for making something good. Thank you.
