AIRQUEEN[2 Pack] [] 3-Layers NanoFilter Face Safety Mask [Individually Packaged]

I wanted the KF99 mask but the only place I could find them that didn’t look sketchy only does pickup and is 6 hrs away. So I went with the KF94. Omg they are so much more comfortable then the N95 and very comparable in its protection. Much lighter and doesn’t give you those grooves on your face from wearing such a tight mask. I bought the 2 pack to see how they fit and gave one to my kids dad whose an essential worker. I’d given him an N95 previously and it was so uncomfortable he wouldn’t wear it. His gf has a chronic condition that’s untreated bc American healthcare is unaffordable for so many, so she’s as very high risk. They both have to work so I wanted to find them good masks. My disabled mom with COPD lives with me but I want my kid to be able to visit with her friends. Right now she can see them outside but having a comfortable mask she’ll be able to comfortably wear will help us feel safer. I’ve got a normal size face and this mask fits well. It also fits my ex bf’s face well. I’ll have to make the ear loops smaller for my kid but that’s easy. They are hot though, but that’s inescapable with the better masks. But the breathability is much better then the n95. Also they fold up easily. I’m a big fan of the masks. I just wish amazon offered the black ones. I found a 10 pack of Air Queen KF94 masks on Etsy for about $10 more then a 10 pack of white ones on amazon, and may pick those up bc my ex is such a dork and wants the black ones. When covid first hit and I made a mask for him he was the dork who made me go through all my fabric to find fabric he liked (of course it was an old blue & black tie dye T-shirt that’s like the worst material to work with.) But yeah, I did a bunch of research on masks and feel like the Korean KF masks are the way to go. If you can find the KF99’s and are high risk or live with a high risk person, def buy them. But the KF94 are also a good option. They’re made of that nonwoven polypropylene that are so good for PPE.

These Air Queen masks are great. After putting it on I looked in the mirror and noticed how much better they seal around the edges than the cotton masks I usually wear. These masks are well made, thick and VERY breathable. I have used the gold standard N95 masks and could hardly breathe after a few minutes. Now, I used the Air Queen mask when walking and it's almost like I'm not wearing one. Also, this mask doesn't fog up my sunglasses.Though I don't think the Air Queen masks are officially "KF-94 certified ", the tests these masks have undergone speak for themselves (see product pictures). These masks rank as good or better than KF-94 in filtration and airflow and are very comfortable.The only issue I have is when I wear my Air Queen mask after my beard has grown out for a few weeks. The bottom of the mask tends to slip upwards a bit, especially when talking.

I purchased these 2-pack masks out of curiosity since these were "Made in Korea". Korea is known for making high quality products, especially face masks during these unprecedented times. I am informed of the South Korean government's announcement to banning face mask exports to other countries in order to prevent a domestic shortage back in early February. South Korea has lifted the ban, placing an export limit, but the exact month of the ban removal to the export limit placement is unknown; with news articles both in English and Korean stating mid-July to late September. A number of articles read this month (October 2020) have stated that the country's mask supply and demand has been stabilised and that exports are now allowed instead of limited to 10%.*As of October 2020 and at the time of writing this review, more "Genuine" Korean face masks (Surgical and KF94s) have been popping up on Amazon, still debating if this has to do with South Korea now allowing mask exports, or if more sellers are just making profit of selling counterfeit Korean face masks.The 2-Pack AirQueen Nanofilter Masks were bought twice; once in August and once in September. The specific seller that I bought from was Orly's Dream. The shipping was fast (did not ship with Amazon), and the package contents are there; clean, sealed, and no signs of tampering. Package contents are 2 AirQueen Masks and a receipt of the order. The AirQueen Mask packaging is of a matte texture, which is strange since the AirQueen masks that I bought on SoomLab Korea in March were a mixture of matte and glossy packaging (SoomLab masks not shown in review pictures since I gave some to relatives or have used all of them). The appearance of the packaging, image and labels, seem to be genuine; there is no noticeable "fuzziness" to indicate photocopying, there is a perforation at the top to tear and take the mask out to use instead of an "envelope style" opening as some Korean vloggers have seen buying fake Korean KF94 masks from Amazon, Ebay, and AliExpress. Some parts of the labels do shine to indicate that this is a genuine product, and the masks are air sealed and packaged individually instead of being packed into one plastic wrapper. On the back of the mask packaging, down at the bottom left, "제조일자" (jejo ilja), means Manufacture Date which indicates when the mask has been produced, and is not an expiration date. For Expiration Dates, 까지 (gga ji), is shown before the date and means “good until” (literal translation is “until”).Onto the mask itself, do note that the AirQueen Nanofilter Mask IS NOT KF94 RATED. AirQueen does sell KF94 rated mask, however, is only sold in South Korea in the meantime. While it is FDA Approved to be used as a surgical mask for the general public, NIOSH (National Institute of Occupational Health and Safety) HAS NOT APPROVED this mask to be rated KF94, nor is there a label on the packaging itself that indicates that this mask is KF94 rated. Simply put, this a surgical mask that has similar protection and filtration of a N95 mask, whilst being light and thin like a regular surgical mask.In terms of design and functionality, I do like how most Korean face masks have a collapsable three-fold design which makes it easy to fold and store when not in use. It does feel papery, and it does crinkle when pressing on it, but most surgical masks do this (Korean KF94 masks do not crinkle). The top and bottom portions cover your nose and chin, and the middle part covers the mouth but with more room to breathe; the middle part of the mask sticks out a bit, about 2-3cm of extra space. The extra space in the mouth area is a bonus to prevent stains for those who wear chapstick or for those who wear makeup. Plus, it does not get stuffy inside the mask. Since the mask seals very well and there is no open space for air to escape, especially in the nose area, this means no fogging for those who wear glasses or sunglasses. The the metal nose bridge on top of the mask can be used as a holder for glasses/sunglasses as well. The ear loops are attached to the back, instead of the front like most Korean KF94 masks. The mask contains three layers (compared to most Korean KF94 masks which have four layers); with the Nanofilter layer being the second layer and the melt-blown layer being the third layer. Some sources have claimed that these Nanofilter masks can be washed up to 10 times, either by rinsing with water, or spraying with alcohol, while other sources have claimed to refrain from washing Nanofilter masks. With mixed answers about washing Nanofilter masks, I personally would refrain from washing these masks, and only to dispose and use a new mask when needed.Overall, I am satisfied with the mask, it is thin and light but has similar protection to a N95, it works like it is supposed to, but minus one star since I am skeptical to whether this is actually from South Korea or not. Ever since using this mask I have been testing regularly to see if this mask is effective or not. So far, I have tested negative. If you plan on buying these 2-Pack AirQueen Nonofilter Masks, exercise due negligence.

Love, love, love this mask! I can wear it ALL DAY long without difficulty of breathing . It’s light and comfortable without compromising its integrity of protection. Working in the health field can sometimes be concerning in terms of protection and exposure. This mask allows me to do my job and keeps me and others safe and in comfort. Purchased it again. Easy to clean and reuse. Purchase from this vendor and not from the others because they are fake and I got ripped off from the others. Enjoy it!

Great design, just too thin
