<p>Cycling in 2020, I can breath hard without foggy my glasses. I can wear it without pulling out my hearing aids.</p>

<p>N95 is the mask rating- most industrial particulate masks are rate to N95 standards.</p>
<p>You can get N95 masks with and without the valve (yours is as shown the model 8211). Valve does make a lot of difference (I used these dust masks for years when required on the job). They also make N95 masks with a built in carbon filter and for welding use. Pollution masks generally rate between N40 to N80. A bandana will get you about N25.</p>

<p>The negative/positive with the N95 mask is that it limits rapid air intake but the valve on the mask allows you to exhale quickly.</p>

<h3><strong>N95 Respirators</strong></h3>
<p>An N95 respirator is a respiratory protective device designed to achieve a very close facial fit and very efficient filtration of airborne particles.</p>
<p>The ‘N95’ designation means that when subjected to careful testing, the respirator blocks at least 95 percent of very small (0.3 micron) test particles.
