I was tempted to buy these for my at risk spouse, I thought the website to purchase was a little odd looking (at one point they had a "tip" $ amount area to thank the company for shipping it... huh??) and my scammy senses gave it an eyebrow raise. So glad I didn't buy them! Good video!
Love this video. Super entertaining and informative. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge about mask production and requirements and for literally putting masks on the market to the test!
That was very interesting....and informative. I learned things I didn't know about masks and what should be on them. But the snapping headbands was hilarious. I almost ordered these a couple of months ago but then I found the Armrest line and ordered from there. So glad I did!
Hi! Nic here from Armbrust's social team. CONGRATS! You are the lucky winner of our giveaway! Would you mind sending an email to social@armbrustusa.com with your shipping info? Thanks!
Thanks for testing these! I was curious about them because of all the marketing. Though I'll stick to masks that meet American and Korean standards anyway because they are regulated. It's another data point for informing others. The referral systems for questionable KNs lead to many articles that make them seem legit, while there's usually no data to back them up. What's extra questionable is that decent KNs are 9 cents in bulk with customization options, so they are using crappy sourcing to I dunno, save a penny.
I have learned SO much about masks (and in SUCH an entertaining way I might add😊) from your channel! THANK YOU Lloyd for doing these independent tests. We want to be safe. I don't mind paying a little more IF it's good. But...NOT for garbage! All the best to you!!
I have tried 4 styles of your masks. 3 I like-one doesn’t fit at all. I would love to win and try them all. I work in a hospital every day and have to supply my own masks. I love that you are an American company!

Wow this is very enlightening, I really appreciate seeing the details from the lab perspective. I am impressed! Thank you so much for providing this information.
Some time. Between 21 and 22 maskC quality went down significantly. I had been wearing their surgicals tied and tucked and then got a pack with no nose wires. The secret with them was only by when they were on 50% or 60% or 70% off. There were some wonderful patterns. But something changed in their manufacturing.
Thanks so very much for enlightening me about these type of masks.. I think it's great that you're actually putting a lot of these types of masks to the test...!!! Steve
I received some of these masks yesterday & found that they have added the most recent executive standard to their masks, but they still don’t include manufacturer name. 🤔
What do you think of the Posh KF94 from BeHealthy, or the MasklabUS KF series, as far as quality "fashion" masks? (They're my favorites after the BLUNA Face Fit.) I didn't see them on your list. (Aside from the KIDS Posh.)
Are you talking about themasklab.in? If so they tested ok...but the marketing claims on their website are next level wrong. They're slapping the words N95 all over their stuff willy nilly which is a major no no.
Hmmm - just goes to show that function over "fashion" is the way to go for safety! The color choices and celebrity endorsements send a false message. Thanks for a great review! :o)
I liked how informative the review was. I learned a lot. While you strove to be clinical in your review, there was a whiff of judgement. Maybe it was supposed to. I don't know. But, I'll be curious to see if there are reviews of competitors are more positive. If they are all negative, after a while, it will lose some credibility. But overall, I liked the approach.
Amazon has become so overrun with fakes and gray market items I have become hesitant to buy masks directly from Amazon. (I still have taken a chance a couple of times.) Amazon needs to get its counterfeiting problem under control.
Any chance of a review of the Kaze origins masks, which are also colourful and being worn by celebrities but with legit looking tests referenced on their website?
This is one of the reasons I prefer plain, boring white FFP2/KN95 masks over colored ones or ones with a huge logo. Much more likely to be made by a serious company for use in hospitals, not for consumers by some random opportunist company.
I have been waiting for this review! Thank you. I thought these had fda eua last year (when they were doing that)? Have you tested their surgical style mask?
Don't know if these ever qualified under EUA, since they've always been a fashion focused brand. Rumored to be owned by a yoga clothing brand...look good...would not wear.
I took a chance and bought these from their website a few months ago and immediately knew I made a mistake once I saw them irl lol. You're paying for "fashion" not safety
Sorry for the delay today, we had an issue with the video and had to reupload. Thanks for watching!
We will forgive you this time. 🤣Thank you for all the videos. We appreciate you.
I love the innovative 💡 coupled with these darn good 👍video learning

So glad I watched this particular video as I considered buying these masks, so I can shelve that thought.
Love this video. Super entertaining and informative. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge about mask production and requirements and for literally putting masks on the market to the test!
I was going to buy some of these tonight, but thought I would check with Lloyd's videos first!
I am still waiting on your filters to become available. They are the best! Please make them again!

Thanks for the review - shocking that such an expensive mask would break so easily.

Great information, much needed in this time of what safe and what is not say.

Done! Thank you so much!
Goes to show how easy it is to pick style over function when we don't have access to testing.

Different Masklabs...the one she's talking about is based in Hong Kong and makes surgical masks as well as KF style FFP2 rated masks.
I’ve been curious about Posh also.

We’ll said. Unfortunately these companies only care about money and the not quality of the product there selling.
I liked how informative the review was. I learned a lot. While you strove to be clinical in your review, there was a whiff of judgement. Maybe it was supposed to. I don't know. But, I'll be curious to see if there are reviews of competitors are more positive. If they are all negative, after a while, it will lose some credibility. But overall, I liked the approach.
He’s definitely not all negative. Check out his Gerson 3230 review or most KF94 reviews
First Thank You - Great Info. Love made in USA! I am using one of your the masks now. Please keep it up.
What a lack of surprise, promoted on instagram and by big name celebrities while being overpriced. Pretty easy to tell where the extra money is going.
Amazon has become so overrun with fakes and gray market items I have become hesitant to buy masks directly from Amazon. (I still have taken a chance a couple of times.) Amazon needs to get its counterfeiting problem under control.
Whole heartedly agree.
I'm all about the win!
This is OUTRAGEOUS!
Any chance you could test Cambridge cloth masks? They have ones without vents. Ditto Vogmask.
I would be happy to send you some!
Any chance of a review of the Kaze origins masks, which are also colourful and being worn by celebrities but with legit looking tests referenced on their website?
This is one of the reasons I prefer plain, boring white FFP2/KN95 masks over colored ones or ones with a huge logo. Much more likely to be made by a serious company for use in hospitals, not for consumers by some random opportunist company.
Great review!
This is very interesting I wonder what this company has to say? I’m sure there going to pretend they have no idea what’s going on.
Wow - that’s baaaaad.
& thank you for saying ‘cattywompus’ - not used enough imo
I like your videos as to the point but fun.
Nice Review
Somehow expected that it didn't meet the spec, just by looking at it. LOL
KF94 =korean code
KN95= china code
N95= US code
😣 guilty of buying a few bags from this company just cuz of the pretty colors 😬🤦♀️
I have been waiting for this review! Thank you. I thought these had fda eua last year (when they were doing that)? Have you tested their surgical style mask?

Yikes! Appreciate what you do!
We all know where the funding for this product went…. Marketing.
I've seen this advertised alot.
I took a chance and bought these from their website a few months ago and immediately knew I made a mistake once I saw them irl lol. You're paying for "fashion" not safety
It's funny when they write "made in PRC" instead...
..... But they were so pretty.......
FAIL! I am wanting a kn95 that passes!
Wow, the straps are really terrible.
If the straps break that easily, it's a fail to me. Waste of $!!!
Wow, I’ve seen KN95 (real ones) for less.
How much more does it cost to make the earloops the same color as the mask? Come on, those black earloops are just lazy
And looks ridiculous 😂😂😂
Disappointed 😔
I'll say, worst fit I've ever seen
