- Kingfa KN95 Face Masks 50 Pack, GB2626-2019 Certified 5-Layer, 95% Filtration, Adjustable Nose Clip

I don't know how much this will protect me from covid, but since I'm required to wear a mask at work, I figured I might as well wear a good one. Since N95's are pretty much impossible to find, I have to say that these certainly feel very protective. They seem really well made and high quality. I wore one for five days, about 10 hours a day, and only threw it away because it got dirty, not because it was showing any signs of wear. The only downside is that because there's a decent seal over the cheeks and chin, all of the escaping air comes out from the top, making glasses wearing pretty much impossible due to the fog. I wish there was a better way to get a seal on the nose part, but it does seem to be the weakest link on the mask, even though the wire is strong. Overall, I really do feel as well protected in this mask as is possible- whether that's an illusion or not, time will tell, but being a little less afraid of getting sick certainly makes doing my high risk job easier. I'm buying a backup box, just in case these get hard to find again, though as sturdy as these are fifty is probably sufficient to last me quite a long time.

Fit nicely. Have been using Kingfa masks since Covid19.

I've never written a product review before, but I figure I would share what I found online. I bought 2 boxes of these on blind faith and some good reviews on Amazon. Usually, I do more research, but could not find much online with respect to these being good at filtering particles/viruses. The boxes I received are marked as model KF-A F04. Although Kingfa has products listed on the FDA website as approved for use in the US under the EUA, those are for models: KF-A F01 and KF-A F10(SC). I recently found a website claiming that MIT, amongst others, is testing Chinese KN95 masks and posting results to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health’s website for PPE guidance. I looked on the MA website and found a page titled "Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) During COVID-19." On this page there is a document link titled "KN95 Respirator Test Results." After searching through this, I found what appears to be the same King Fa box I received although the document does not list an exact model number. Assuming this is indeed the same model, the filtration efficiency is listed as 87.4%. I will caveat this, as the MA site did, by saying that this is not a NIOSH-certified laboratory doing the testing, but they are trying to follow the same testing methodologies. There were a great number of other "KN95" masks in this document that tested lower (sometimes 50% or less). Perhaps this did not reach the 95% threshold, but I feel pretty good about 87+% filtration in a world where I might otherwise be wearing a facemask that would likely score lower on such a test. Additionally, these were some of the lower-priced KN95 masks available when I bought so I feel good about my purchase. Random final thoughts: 1) I have not actually used these yet, but just tried them on. I can't comment on their durability or comfort. 2) These masks fit me and I'm a pretty big adult. They also fit my 10-year-old son fairly well. He stands 5 ft and weighs about 100 lbs. I did add some tension to the straps behind his head with a plastic hook to try to eliminate gaps. 3) A nice bonus is that the box came with these plastic hooks in it. They appear to be similar in quality to others I have paid for that work well with my children's masks, but I can't speak to the durability of these.

The box came a little beat up but the content inside was fine since they were in sealed bags. I have to say Amazon did not use a box for my purchase that the masks and another unrelated item. Lately Amazon ships things in plastic bags for small items/purchase. Well, a box of masks is considered small. Anyway, I am happy with my purchase. It is the real deal since every mask has the stamp of the brand name (kingfa) on it with some numbers. The masks are thick and comfy to use. No smell. So far so good. I am happy with my purchase.

If you’re among the many who’ve spent much of the last few years searching for “real” N- and/or KN95’s (and couldn’t help but wonder if what arrived in the mail from Amazon or elsewhere was actually doing you or your loved ones any good), then read on… In case you haven’t already heard, a healthy percentage of the masks bearing the “KN95” imprint actually don’t meet that criteria, and here’s why. this “In the best of all possible worlds”, an N95 or KN95 mask has 5 layers from front to back, with the inner and outer surface plies there primarily to keep larger particles out (or in) and to be relatively comfortable against the skin. It’s the densest, waxiest-looking, most opaque layers, #2 and 4, that do the real heavy lifting, by keeping particles larger than 2.5 microns wide from gettin into our lungs (or, if we’re ill, from getting into the lungs of those closest to us. Remarkably enough, these two plies look and feel EXACTLY like Gore-Tex fabric, which just happens to filter out water droplets around those sizes…) The fluffy ply in the middle, #3, is mainly there to keep those waxy-looking plies from sticking together, once they’re moistened by our breath. Unfortunately, the only way you can tell if you’ve been honored or screwed at the checkout is by cutting the first mask in a package apart, as you can see I’ve done, here. In about a half dozen of the cases of N95’s and KN95’s that I’ve bought since December of 2019, one of those waxy, opaque layers has been missing, and in one case, both of them were! Thankfully, this isn’t true of these “KINGFA” masks, which I’m happy to report do contain all of the necessary layers. For me, that’s a really big deal because I’m a licensed massage therapist — which means that several times a day, I’m stuck in a small room with another human being for a minimum of an hour at a time, and if either of us has just spent time with someone who’ll test positive for Covid tomorrow morning, we had both better have something protecting us now, and these masks appear to fit the bill.

Initially, I was upset with this order. I did not receive what I ordered. Instead of the Kingfa KN95 Face Mask I got the BYD CARE KN95 Respirator masks. I was concerned they were not the same or up to the same standard. I contacted the seller (Amor Tech) and they responded quickly. They apologized that due to demand they were unable to ship the Kingfa masks in a reasonable time and had replaced my order with the BYD masks. They assured me the BYD was indeed the same standard and quality as the Kingfa, they also refunded me for the order and informed me they now had the Kingfa masks in stock. Upon closer inspection, the BYD masks are a true 5 layer mask (I cut one open) and the fit is great on me. I have a larger head, the fit and coverage were excellent. The ear loops were also comfortable. Excellent product and customer service.

I always read reviews before ordering and was concerned when I read that the black masks are not the same quality as the white ones from this brand and have less layers but decided to order anyway since I know there tends to always be negative reviews for most product and I liked the white ones I got during COVID ( this brand was recommended by a former nurse). Well it turns out these are exactly the same in size, design and materials. I dissected one and yes there are 5 layers, very thin but 5 layers they are. Also took apart a white one and the layers are just as thin. Perhaps some folks got something different from a different seller? Anyway all good in my case.

I ordered a box of these knowing they were the older 2006 designation as opposed to 2019. What people need to know and I constantly see misstated as a complaint in reviews is that KN95 is not NIOSH certified. It’s not supposed to be NIOSH certified. NIOSH only certifies N95 masks made in the USA. KN95 come from China. There is a list in the CDC website of manufacturers that had previously been authorized for use in healthcare when supplies were impossible to find. That emergency authorization has been revoked for all companies for USE IN HEALTHCARE. That does not mean it’s not a good mask for everyday use as long as it was in the website as previously approved it is a good mask. The older designation of 2006 was the previous manufacturing standard to the 2019 designation but are still good as long as the product was not expired. (I am in healthcare). I loved the fit of these masks. They came packaged 5 in a bag and fit great. Were comfortable and they didn’t bother me wearing them all day. I ordered a second box for my son at college who also liked them. When we needed more I ordered 4 boxes for the family. There was a huge delay in receiving them and I did not get what I ordered. Instead I got 4 boxes with labels stating they met the same standards and were what they sold in stores like CVS. The masks were packaged 2 together and were actually even nicer, except for the problem that they were TINY! They are so tight in the ears I have yet to find a single adult including my daughter with a tiny face who can wear them. I can’t give them away because they fit nobody. So I got stuck with 4 boxes of excellent quality expensive masks nobody can use. Over $120 down the drain. If you get the original KINGFA 2006 ones and they aren’t expired yet, great. If you get the replacements good luck.

Its best buy.

Using since 1month , good quality for that price... disposal masks , can use 1 or 2 per day

This is second time I ordered Kingfa KN95. These look the same as before but much thinner. Not sure if they are authentic KN95.

I cutted the one mask and found only four layers and the layers are very thin otherwise the masks are good as price .
