Albatross Health New England Disposable 3 ply Face Masks

sturdy quality for a disposable mask. easier to breathe thru than a cloth mask. the straps are what saved my ears. theyʻre somewhat softer and a bit stretchier/longer than other paper masks ive used. im so grateful for albatross masks. the back of my ears were getting rubbed raw from using other brands. its a bit pricey but it just might be worth the trouble.

As long as the pandemic storms into our lives, I decided to meet it with safety and carefully as possible. These masks are like the ones used at healthcare facilities, 3 ply thickness but don't feel as thick as the material masks I have used previously. I feel like I am getting oxygen and not co2 when I breathe with these masks. 50 in a pack, I don't go out into public much so this is the right amount for me. Delivered on time and in good condition. Thank you

I decided to try these masks because I thought initially they were made in the US. I discovered before buying that they're made in China but sold by an American company. The company, Albatross, inspects the masks and the description says they meet FDA standards. I thought they might be different and more comfortable than other masks I've tried, but I feel they're mostly the same with the same issues. My husband thinks they're fine. For me, they're a bit too large. One ear loop was too loose, and there were gaps on the side of my face. Also, I didn't feel the metal piece on the top bent well enough to conform to my nose. On the plus side, the mask seemed comfortable and not too scratchy. It didn't go into my eyes too much. I'm still searching for the perfect mask.

These came promptly, and are a soft, comfortable material. They seem clean and hygienic, as they come in a sealed plastic bag inside the sealed outer box. The masks themselves seem softer, in a good way, than some other ones I have used, and the ear loops seem to be affixed better than some others. They do have a bendable nose bridge for a better fit. The package states that these masks should not be used in a surgical setting, so I won't do that, but otherwise they seem ideal for everyday Covid mask use.

I've ordered other basic blue masks, because of COVID, and the masks were thin, questioning if they really had 3 layer protection. After reading reviews of the quality, I took a chance. I am very pleased with this product. The mask is definitely thicker and comfortable to wear. I will be ordering from this manufacturer in the future.

The mask seem like they are constructed well though the nose clip quality is not as good as others have used. Sure trying to cut cost here and there. The main reason gave this rating is because of chem like smell when I wear them. It is not unbearable but not nice either.I had opened package and let them air for days. Now I didn't air each individual mask, but I should not have to. Something in Mfg process needs to change.

This is my third review of this product. My initial review was 5 star. However, when I started to use the masks there were about a half dozen that the ear loops came unglued, rendering them useless. I then wrote a one star review. Since my contact with Albatross, they have apologized and issued a full refund. Additionally, they invited me to sample their new masks. Great recovery and we were very happy to purchase this product BECAUSE they are made in the USA.

During the course of this pandemic I have purchased at first whatever brand mask I could get. But as more became available I chose what was most comfortable, which were these Albatross brand masks. They do not itch, are lightweight, and have never had any breakage. No they dont equate to an N95, but I feel pretty safe with them.
