Basically as expected
I've been searching everywhere for inexpensive face coverings. I know these won't filter, I just need something to wear out in public. Overall it does what I need and it's comfortable to wear. The package says clearly NON MEDICAL mask. I'm not sure what that means, but I assume it has to do with the fabric thickness. They are solid black, but felt almost like a soft felty fabric. The metal nose piece is sturdy and the ear loops seem strong enough for at least several wears. Overall I'm pleased. They were what I would expect for the price point.<br /><br />*update* I just wore a blue medical mask and compared the difference. The fabric texture feels the same, but the black mask actually does feel slightly thicker, and the black mask has a better nose piece. The medical mask had a plastic nose piece that didn't form to my face well, where as the black mask has a metal nose piece that actually did form to my face well. I also prefer the black mask ear loops over the medical mask.<br /><br />*update* I wore the mask hiking at a crowded park and didn't feel like I was suffocating!
