Trying to find real kn95 and/or n95 masks?
Here’s a summary of my adventure:
1) Bona fide masks - - powecom kn95 white - - allegedly improved breathability from black version, which was recommended by masknerd; ups via usps; offered 1 hr. pickup at factory. When i said that i’d be there in a few days, they shipped it ( ahead of schedule) to me anyway, which is the only minor issue. Otherwise, fantastic company - - answers phone; real manufacturing company- - manufactures industrial and military products; 70,000 square foot production facility in mt. vernon, ny ; no issue with fakes; largest distributor for powecom in US, which you can check for fakes; found it too tight around ears and hard to breathe on 1st blush; after wearing for a while, it was fine since i'll rarely use it for > 2 hrs. So if you or someone you know lives in the greater nyc metro area and needs a mask quickly, here is an excellent choice.
One of their reviews ( bonus if you are looking for a mask for kids/grandkids):
Amazing
Not only do the childrens kn95 fit my 2.5 year old perfect. The adult ones are small enough for my face. Hard to find a good smaller mask. They also fit my husband well too. Amazing customer service. My masks got lost in the mail and they resent them fast at no cost. Amazing company.

2) Amazon - - 3M 9205P-3-DC Aura Particulate Respirator 9205+ N95, 3/Pack White - - ships and sold by amazon; i’m not concerned with fakes since i got fake tea once but it was not shipped by amazon; the 1st pack arrived ahead of schedule; the 2nd pack is delayed. Now they are out of stock. Didn’t like the fit of this one at all.
3) Project n95 - - powecom kn95 white; organization recommended by @masknerd; it is a nonprofit that had a few employees; then it got 1M orders. So you can imagine. My orders were fulfilled by bona fide masks and Planet halo. My order was delivered 6 days late and was stuck in a queue with 77,000 orders on christmas eve alone. Powecoms can be checked for fakes.

In my experience, when it comes to masks, i think this industry’s heart is in the right place.
