4.0 out of 5 stars Surgical Masks good for asthmatics, January 6, 2009

By	40 Something (Chandler, AZ) - See all my reviews

I have asthma, and these masks are good for travel or bad air days. Despite their thickness, they are very breathable. A bit bulky, but worth it to prevent breathing in bad stuff.
The company shipped these pronto - good service and a good price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Check Google., April 27, 2009

By	James Redding (Tucson, AZ USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This seller increased the price of this item $10 just today, probably because Swine Flu is all over the news. Seems a little shady to me. These are fine disposable masks from a reputable brand, but go to google instead and you'll find them for half the price.

3.0 out of 5 stars If your'e worried about the flu, do your homework, April 30, 2009

By	S. Robertson "steve44" (Tucson, Arizona USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)

Flu virus size: 50-120 nanometers.

120 nanometers = .12 microns.

N95 filter: designed to block 95% of particles larger than .3 microns.

These are fine against dust, smoke, dirt, and even some biochemical agents. But there ought to be a circle of Hell for people who use panic to jack up the price and sell them as "flu masks."
