About the time I wrote the blog post N95 Dust Masks: Don’t Leave Home Without Them? I realized that I should order more masks to keep us stocked up for every day use and future eventualities.
I ordered another box of the 3M N95 disposables we rely on (paid link), but shortly after they arrived, a friend’s trailer home burned. People gathered for a couple days to sort through the wreckage. Local emergency personnel urged them to mask up properly for the job. Rather than expecting volunteers to find and buy their own masks, I sent my new box to town to supply the crew.
That left me without my replacement masks, but also provided a possibility to upgrade. I took advantage of the opportunity, and ordered a few masks that appear to offer improvements over those we currently use.
After shopping and price comparison, I chose two different kinds of mask, and bought a two pack of each pair.
These are the CCJK N 99 Dust Mask and the JKJK N 99 Mask (paid links).
