Review (3/5): They’re Okay for What They Are
These Koruser Type II disposable face masks are okay for what they are. They’re as good for my wearing-to-the-grocery-store needs as any.
Unlike most versions of this type of mask on the market, these are pure white rather than pale blue. The ear loops are well attached and make donning and doffing simple. The flexible wire nose bridge bends easily to seal on the face, which supposedly minimizes glasses fogging. But exhalation moisture and perspiration still quickly build up inside these three-ply masks (as they do in ALL the masks that I’ve used) and make them uncomfortable after just a short time. The accordion folds adapt them to any facial size and shape.
Being compelled to wear a face mask in public is an unpleasant fact of modern life, and the need for them should—but doesn’t—transcend political, cultural and religious differences. Any decent person with the slightest trace of compassion for others, or any sense of personal responsibility, will wear a mask to help control the spread of COVID-19, which continues to surge as I write this because hordes of ignorant, selfish, stupid, oblivious morons can’t even take such a simple, tiny step in the interests of public health.
As a commodity and a necessity, at least for those who care more about the greater good than about imagined attacks on their “freedoms,” these masks are okay but nothing special, so I rate them at three stars.
