3M 9105 VFLEX N95 Particulate Respirator

Pros: 1.Very efficient at keeping particulate matter, seems to be good at protecting against covid as well( been using it during all covid duties) 2.The rubber bands used to secure the mask is of good quality and doesn't break easily, nor does it get detached from the mask. 3.The good quality metal strip for the seal around the nose is soft on the bridge of the nose, at the same time gives a good seal, prevents fogging of glasses. 4.The Horizontal orientation of the mask gives good amount of space within the mask that one does not feel suffocated. Cons: This is very much subjective, it is not a conventionally shaped mask, and may look unusual or awkward to some, but this shouldn't be a major consideration in buying a mask.

Yes, a new design, so counterfeits are to yet to be made (does not look like can be made that easily either) and the design is excellent. Proper sealing on skin, right hardness of noseclip, strap tightness and even good breathability, too. Quality difference is well evident from other NIOSH certified N95 makers or CE adherence certification holding FFP2 ones. Only thing, should have been packed in a hard box, got squeezed all over and no particular seal left on the main box when I got the delivery. The pricing is perfect as well (got a box of 50 at Rs 3399 from seller 11 pharma with Amazon Prime fulfilment) why to go for (or to say, risk for) anything else if I can get a 3M made NIOSH certified (country of origin SG) N95 at Rs 68 per piece? Maybe too big for women, the other size (3M clearly shows only two sizes in their site for this model in their site) with S suffix would be proper for smaller faces.

These 25 were distributed among 4 doctors. Everyone seems to be happy with the product. It appears genuine. Fitting is good. the elastic band is durable and doesnt break, unlike venus 440 N95 masks (80 percentage breakage noticed by me). Only problematic area is that the elastic bands can seem to be very tight to ears for some people. Only 2 masks available in India are cdc approved- venus and 3m. Not all variants of these are cdc approved. Some are plain anti dust masks. This 9105 3M mask is cdc approved and can be checked at cdc website too.

This is my first 3M's N95 mask. So I cant compare it with other 3M Masks. But when compared to other N95/KN95 Masks in the market, I found it to have an excellent sealing. A good test is that my Spectacles do not get foggy even when I climb stairs. Of course regular test of Blowing Air into the Mask also proved to be good. I found it to be reasonably comfortable for extended use. I used for about 5Hrs continuously. I purchased a 50 Pack and found the price to be reasonable at ~58 rupees per piece. The only issue is that; shape of this mask makes you feel like a Hammerhead Shark :-)

Wanted to order new mask model/version got old one. Someone pointed out that these are new one with 9105S model but got old ones, which are still susceptible to get copied. Otherwise, mask seems to he good

I have read most reviews of this product. After buying, I contacted the seller to confirm the authenticity of the product. The other reviews which say this product is fake, i would like to say that this mask has only lot number printed on it. The secure code isn’t printed on the mask and is given on the box(which has 50 masks each). The fit of the mask is perfect and infact, V-flex is one of the most innovative masks from 3M, where the masks accommodates to the jaw movement while talking. The best N95 mask line I have ever seen.

Been using 3M and wanted to try this out. As soon as I wear I felt uncomfortable and it was the same with few other pieces. It was not the case with direct purchase from 3M. Do not buy this. It will do good for Amazon to recheck this seller.

This is an original 3M product, duckbill style N95 mask. It's firm and durable and you can easily use it for 3 days if you use UV-C light sterilizer box. Very ergonomic design and comfortable for people having problem with flat-fold type (conventional) N95 mask.
