Very comfortable masks and great product. However what is really awesome is that I had one rip in half and didn’t feel good about the product but the company sent me a replacement for that mask and extras after submitting a photo so I would say they stand behind their products abs very proactive at that as I wasn’t expecting it. Solid Purchase

The AIRPOP Light SE Black Mask is a very nice mask to have on hand for many different situations. I say that because they are very lightweight and comfortable. Our family has been wearing cloth masks for most of the pandemic so this is a nice change of pace.
On first encounter, it may seem a little stiff and might not look comfortable. However, that changes once you put it on. The ergonomic wing design along with the cushioned nose seal really help a ton here. It seems a bit strange when you first look at that nose seal, but it feels great when you get everything set in place. I am also a big fan of the adjustable ear loops as well. It really helps to form that seal and to control that pressure the masks can put on the ears.
My daughter did the ultimate test by wearing it to school for an entire day. She said it didn’t present any issues and she was able to breathe easily throughout the entire day. She also liked how it sat a little further from her nose and mouth. She said it was like she wasn’t as trapped in there. In the several times that I have worn mine, I can echo that as well. It’s like having a respectably sized beak. It provides a greater freedom and allows for better breathability while providing the much needed protection.
All in all, this is a great mask and I recommend it for many different reasons. The comfortable nose seal is a huge reason for that. The other big one is the contoured shape that allows this mask to be used by all shapes and sizes.

Verdict: In general, wearing a mask doesn’t bother me, except for the fact that they always fog up my glasses, and then I am miserable. Since I need to wear glasses to see anything, the fogging issue has been particularly frustrating, especially at work when trying to work on my computer. This mask has solved this issue for me; I have been able to completely eliminate fogging. Moreover, this mask looks better than most masks, it is comfortable, and it breaths well.
Design. I think the mask looks pretty good, except for the round AirPop logo on the front of the mask. Since I have to wear this at work, the logo could become an issue. Also, I wish the logo wasn’t round because I am not allowed to wear masks with valves, and the round logo sort of looks like it could be a valve hidden under the fabric. Otherwise, I like that it’s black and the fabric feels nice. The elastic ear loops are easily adjustable, allowing for a more comfortable fit, or a more secure fit, depending on preference. The mask has a soft plastic nose piece that actually works really well for comfort, keeping the mask in place, and to block warm air from fogging glasses. The mask is actually comfortable… I mean I wear these all day every day at work, and I never think about the mask anymore.
Wearing with glasses. This mask has solved the really annoying issue of my glasses constantly fogging. I have been able to avoid fog in two different ways. If I wear the mask tighter, the plastic nose piece does a good job at sealing the mask and no hot air escapes through the top. If I don’t want to wear it tight, I flip the nose piece upwards as I put the mask on, so that the nose piece sits higher on my nose, providing exceptional blockage of hot air. In this manner, I can fully avoid fogging. I am extremely happy with the plastic nose piece feature of the mask as I can now wear a mask comfortably and seamlessly all day, while focusing on my work on the computer.
Protection. The mask advertises over 97% filtering of particles, which is better than the KN95 masks I use to wear. Filtration occurs inwards and outwards, which means you are safe, and those around you are also safer. I feel that the mask provides a good seal without the need to overtighten the ear loops. Because of the higher level of comfort, I wear the mask for longer and more often, which should further reduce the risk of getting sick.
Things I like:
- Style, fabric, and color
- All day comfort
- They never fog my glasses, thank you!!
- Adjustable ear loops are easy to use
Things I don’t like:
- Frankly, I think these are bit pricey for disposable masks… but I did buy more, because these are the best masks to wear with glasses, and for all day comfort
- All these disposable masks are so bad for the environment. Maybe make them biodegradable, or make them a few times washable to reduce the environmental impact
- Some masks are washable up to 50 times and provide over 99% filtration. I wonder why these disposable masks can’t achieve higher filtration for just 40 hours since they don’t have to account for the stress of washing. I would really like to see these improve to 98% or 99% filtration.
Overall, I don’t love the price point for the pack of four masks, but this is the only mask that doesn’t make me feel miserable, and more than that, I feel normal wearing it, and I can see through my glasses. I bought another two packs, and I will keep buying more. I definitely recommend them.

Breathable Face Masks!

Over the past year and a half, I have bought a myriad of face masks. From different disposable masks to reusable cloth masks, I have bought many. Many were uncomfortable and others were more comfortable. But the most comfortable face mask I have worn is likely this face mask by AirPop.
I have mostly been using cloth face masks that you buy from Old Navy or Walmart for the past year. While these are practical, they aren’t the most comfortable, especially while wearing them for an extended amount of time. These AirPop face masks can be worn for hours without ever being uncomfortable. Along with how comfortable these are, these are breathable! I can breathe a lot better with these face masks compared to the cloth ones from Old Navy or Walmart.
I would like to also mention the quality of these masks. The price is a bit steep for face masks coming in at around 25 dollars. But I’ll have to be honest, these are worth it. Quality is top-tier and should last a while. There is also a rubber seal on the bridge of the nose that conforms to your face for comfort and breathability. I can also wear my glasses with these without them fogging up. These masks seem to hold up after a wash with soap and water as well. The only complaint I do have is that the mask did rise up on my face if I opened my mouth. I wasn’t too bothered by it but it may differ for you.
Overall, these are solid face masks. AirPop did a brilliant job at designing a comfortable and breathable face mask. The price is a bit steep, but these are certainly worth it. I wholeheartedly do recommend you try these out if you are looking for a more breathable face mask.

These are the worst masks I've ever tried during the entire pandemic. They run to the small side (the ones I purchased said LARGE), but worst thing about them is the nose piece. The pictures do not show the "Ergo-Flex Seal", but it does not seal and it also causes sweat to build up under it if you wear the mask for more than a few minutes. I tried tearing the that piece of plastic (the Ergo-Flex Seal" but then the masks still don't fit properly around the nose. I ended up throwing them away.

Let's start with the design. My first impression of the Airpop Light SE masks was they look a lot nicer in the pictures online. In hand they kind of have like a frail cloth look to them. Honestly, it looks like the black material you find covering the bottom of furniture. They do look well constructed and I wouldn't worry about them falling apart, though. It's still a big step above regular surgical masks. They come with a couple of design features, at least. They can be adjusted slightly by sliding rubber chokes on the ear loops. There is also a rubber nose piece on the inside that can be used as is or flipped up depending on what fits you better. Flipped up potentially creates a better seal and prevents air from escaping towards your eyes which is also supposed to help those with glasses to prevent fogging. But the most important question is, do they work? Depends on the person so maybe for you, yes - but personally, they're not ideal for me.
I consider myself to have just an average shaped face, however, while they do conform and rest on the face well I find the mask a bit too small. When the nose flaps are down, the moment I say a word or move my mouth the entire mask rides up my face. I can not wear and speak with it on unless I raise the nose flaps. Otherwise, if it's not necessary to speak (or not chew gum, suck on a candy etc...) it's manageable. I then tried the mask with them raised but not without some hinderances. I retained twice the amount of moisture causing so much buildup on my face compared to when they were down and allowed a bit of air to escape. My wife has a smaller head so it fit her with less issues. She wears glasses and if you flip the nose flaps up, it does indeed prevent fogging so that's a plus. But while we found the rubber material of the nose flaps comfortable enough, because of the trimmed edges, we found them to be a bit bothersome after wearing for a short length of time. We wish the cut edges of the rubber were rounded or something. Because of these issues I would prefer to wear the mask with the flaps down but with this impasse, it leaves me with no choice and I have to give up comfort for function. For her, she would use the mask with the nose piece flipped up anyway but was still left with the issue of discomfort. We both also found the ear loop material to be a smidge irritating sometimes. We both have them as loose as they can go but it seems the more the material stretches, the less smoother it is, thus increasing the roughness. I must note though that these issues were way more present in higher temperatures. The few days it was cooler I found these things weren't nearly as much of an issue. Perhaps these are best worn in cooler temperatures when humidity is lower.
They say they can be cleaned and reused but I was weary of the idea. Since you get four in a pack and I could potentially afford to ruin one, I figured I would try cleaning it in the manner posted on their website, which is hand wash with soap and warm water and air dry or use 70% alcohol for a minimum 20 seconds and air dry, for the purpose of the review. Turned out it washed perfectly well.
It's troubling to knock so much on a mask that's so inexpensive but it is what it is. Potentially, they can be a nice step up over paper masks. These might work great for some people but I definitely can't believe they are for everyone. If the mask was a little bigger while keeping the conforming shape I probably wouldn't be having any problems. In general, I think these will be well suited for children or young kids but it seems it can be hit or miss for adults. If you have a slightly below average sized head/face, you'll most likely be happy. Slightly above average sized head/face, I wouldn't bother trying them. I just couldn't safely recommend these, otherwise.
PROS
- 99%+ filtration efficacy
- Compact & light makes it easy to carry in a pocket or purse
- Adjustable nose piece and ear loops
- Can be cleaned, reusable
CONS
- Not for the slightly above average sized head/face
- Rubber nose piece can be finicky
- Potential discomfort
- Run small

the Airpop masks are very well made, easy to breathe in.
they have adjustable ear loops which makes them adjustable to any ear/ face shape.
I like the silicone nose pads because they wont leave marks on my face and at the same time they will seal the air gaps.
another feature is that you can place the mask on your face and pull it down a little bit so the silicone pads would be visible and still seal the air gap but the mask would cover more area which makes this mask practical for most faces.
the fabric is non wooven fabric of multi layers, white on the inside and black on the outside which makes it harder for the mask to look dirty like the case with white face masks.
the thickness of those masks are better than most masks on the market.
i have been wearing the same mask for over a week now for 8 plus hours a day and i dont feel that the integrity of the mask is compromised.

Awkward fit

Unfortunately I don't have much positive to say about these masks. They don't fit very well and the quality doesn't match the price. The first thing you'll notice is the rubber "seal" that goes over the nose instead of a metal piece that you find in most masks. According to the guide, there's a couple different ways of positioning this rubber seal. No matter which method I tried, I couldn't get a good seal. Not to mention it feels a bit awkward. But also, anytime I made any kind of movements, the seal would move or try to flip back to its original state. This would happen no matter how tight I made the mask.
It does at least stay away from your face if that's what is more comfortable for you. For me I didn't really like it so much. They're also a bit on the small side, so for a larger person they really wouldn't fit well.
The straps are comfortable though and easy to adjust with the clips and the material is very breathable, but when the mask doesn't fit or sit properly on your face that just doesn't matter as much.
Since this is a pack of 4 masks, I also had my wife and daughter try them. They found all the same issues I did. My wife could only keep it on for about 10 minutes before she couldn't stand it anymore and just put on a generic disposable mask instead. As for myself, after trying to make them work for several days, I just can't use these at all either and unfortunately wouldn't recommend them.

Bottom Line: Comfortable KN95 protection for up to 40 hours
Pros: reusable, KN95 protection; good seal; comfortable design
Cons: a little small for large faces
Review: I've been using these masks for over a year, and I really like them. First, they're reusable and can go up to 40 hours before cleaning. There are different ways to clean them, but my preferred is to use an alcohol wipe. The silicone nose piece allows you to get a really good seal, so you can wear this mask without fogging up glasses. I also really like the design where the mask never touches your face.
A couple of minor points: I have an above average sized face. The mask still covers my nose and mouth and well, but it is definitely noticeably too small. Second, over time, especially if you put the mask in your pocket with, say, a pair of gloves, the synthetic fibers will eventually fray and the mask will need to be replaced.

I mostly like the mask. I feel more protected when wearing it because it fits better than most. There is also a rubber seal on the bridge of the nose that conforms to your face. I can adjust this seal so my glasses don't fog up. This is the best feature for me. I will say though that rubber seal can also be uncomfortable after a period of time.
