5.0 out of 5 stars Good medical grade masks type 1
Very good seller, very quick delivery and item well packed.These masks are a proper medical grade type 1 mask, meaning they have a 95% efficacy in capturing bacteria and viruses.I bought these for work, as I work providing close contact treatments.However, the type of mask I am now asked to wear is a type 2 mask (efficacy rating of 98%) so annoyingly, I will now have to purchase some of the type 2 masks! At £20 for a box of type 1 and £30 for a box of type 2, this is a very expensive mistake on my part! But guidance changes and these things happen.I will use these type 1 masks for use in public when I want a disposable mask and the absolute beauty of these masks is that they are individually wrapped, making them the best masks to have in your bag/ handbag, they really are ideal for that.Normally I carry masks or spare masks in a sandwich bag so I can keep them clean before use and contain any contamination after wearing (if carrying reusable masks) so these being wrapped is very handy, especially in a shared environment.Very well made and you can see the manufacturer does care highly about quality.
4.0 out of 5 stars Stays dry for 15 minutes and doesn't fog glasses.
Firstly, the box says that it helps filter out 'dust, pollen, etc'; no mention of the medical claims on the Bolo page. So if you're planning on carrying out open-heart surgery, or working with Ebola patients — this is not for you.The masks fit well, and have a piece of wire over the nose that can be moulded to the user's face, giving a reasonably secure fit. They are more comfortable to wear than some that I've tried.I tested one for 15-20mins when it first arrived (about an hour ago) and the mask was still dry when I took it off, and (VERY important for me) my glasses never misted over.My main requirement is for a 30-minute throw-away mask for when I go into a shop or supermarket, bus or train journey — and I think that these will do.ADDS: (10 June) I tried them in a supermarket and they were quite comfortable and with only very slight occasional misting on glasses (hot breath — cool supermarket).The product description on the page says that they conform to EU Directive EN 14683:2019, so can be described as "surgical/medical" even though this message isn't carried on the box. Assuming that this is the case, they should reduce the possibility of you infecting anyone and so worthwhile wearing.
5.0 out of 5 stars Poorly made
I have bought these a few times. However, the latest 2 boxes have seen the straps of around 75% of them breaking when putting them on.Still have a couple of the old ones going around & they are excellent.Problem in the latest batch appears to be a change in the elasticity and length of the ear loops.
5.0 out of 5 stars Best mask to buy
These masks are a good quality. It is worth paying the extra for them compared to other masks. You pinch the top edge so it fits around your nose. They are in a sealed plastic bag too, so you know no-one else has handled them. I think previous buyers do not understand that there are different medical masks and these ones adhere to the European mark EN14683. If you type it into your browser you will find a site called Dental Nursing and it tells you it is a type II medical mask made up of 3 layers. They prevent you from breathing in large particles, but not any fluids. There are other sites that state the same information. I would not buy a mask that is not made to this standard.
1.0 out of 5 stars Useless 3 out of every 4 broken
Really dreadful !!I bought these so I could see my new grandaughter. I spent more for the medical grade and what seemed like it would be a good quality product. The package arrived about four days late after I complained, then every time I talk one carefully out of the bag, at least 2 just fall apart! The elastic just pops out of the hole it’s badly glued into.Also the box- designed like a box for tissues to be able to pull out one at a time, was so flimsy it just tore leaving an over stuffed and too short plastic ziplock bag to keep the masks clean but as it’s not really a good fit it comes undone so ironically not good safe hygiene either. I’m so dissatisfied with this product and would have sent back but relied on them and can’t be without even though on my tiny child sized face they still break.So far I’ve binned at least ten of these and single used four at the most. Go elsewhereNot a very good fit either- I have a very small face and narrow but these are tight over my ears and too big in depth, going into my eyes
3.0 out of 5 stars Online description and packaging suspiciously different
I bought these masks because the description specifically called it a surgical mask and mentioned it’s ability to help reduce infectious. transmission. However when I received it the packaging makes no mention of being a surgical mask, stating only that the mask helps with “dust, pollen, etc”.This makes me suspicious that the quality of the masks have been exaggerated.Having said that, the mask does seem to be well made with 3 layers that do seem to be very fine. As I am unable to get any better masks I am hoping that these are better than nothing.
5.0 out of 5 stars High pricey, but good quality.
Good for disposable masks. These are non medical masks (there’s a specific note inside mentioning these are non medical), so won’t be protected from viruses. But it’s good to leave your house with at least a non medical mask, rather than no mask at all. The package, masks are clean. No dirt. Not individually wrapped.

I have discovered that I don't like wearing masks of any sort but because the Coronavirus is here, we have to use masks to adhere to the Pandemic's rules and to keep ourselves safe. However, when wearing the masks, I normally get some fogging on my spectacles and this is inconvenient but it is not there all of the time and so, when you think that I am keeping free of Covid19, I will wear these for as long as I need to. They are decent masks, easy to use and fairly comfortable. They are also fairly cheap and so thanks to the Suppliers and Bolo for keeping them affordable.
