Fits like it was made for a baby. BTW I’m not a giant

The product that I received first of all does not fit most adults that we tried one on. The filter has pin head sized holes.., they won’t stop anything inhaled and the exhale goes straight out at others! Did I forget to say No-Refunds.!!!

The ad in the NY Times said it was an N95 mask. When I got it, it had PM 2.5 filter. That's not N95. That's an allergy filter. SCAM

I live in Florida and if it is hot out this mask creates a lot of sweat. Cotton is better in Florida.

I have 3 big problems with the CastleGrade G-Series mask: 1. I may be wrong, but the mask does not appear to be N95 certified. The castlegrade website only says they are *registered* with the FDA, but the mask itself doesn't have any of the expected markings, such as TC number (see [1] for what to look for). Searching the CDC database of officially registered n95 respirators shows no results for castlegrade [2]. However, they appear to have unofficially exceeded NIOSH requirements in a lab test: www.instagram .com/p/CFm18wnpWt8 2. The largest size is still too small for my normal-sized face to create any remotely effective seal (I have a normal-sized face - 6' 150-160lb male). 3. No returns. The reality is there aren't many good mask options (most n95s rightly being redirected to healthcare workers), but I would recommend only buying this if you have a pretty small face. Otherwise it's almost useless. [1] Search "counterfit respirators Misrepresentation of NIOSH-Approval cdc", click the first result [2] Go to wwwn. cdc. gov/ niosh-cel (the wwwn is correct). Click "Quick searches" tab -> "Manufacturer or brand" -> type "castlegrade". No results.

Unfortunately, my opinion hasn't changed. The mask doesn't fit, and customer service seems to respond to a poor review much quicker than an email. I really wanted this mask to work, but the straps just don't. The straps are not separate where they meet the mask. When the top strap is tight enough, the bottom one is too loose. When the bottom one is tight enough, the top one is way too tight. Just doesn't work.

You sent my "free" replacement strap my old address 3 states away without first asking where I wanted it shipped so I had to buy another one. Boo.

It doesn’t seal well around your mouth
