Additional Features

MORE SECURE FIT – Protex™ N95s are designed to fit a wider range of face shapes and sizes. And a better fit means better performance: Protex™ N95s remove more than 95% of all 0.3+ micron particles.

BEST-IN-CLASS BREATHABILITY – Proprietary Shawmut MB™ filtering technology exceeds NIOSH N95 standards while delivering better breathability and cooler, fresher air inside the cup.

ALL-DAY COMFORT – Protex™ N95s feature softer, flanged edges that provide a more comfortable fit with less pressure on your face – part of the exclusive, patent-pending All-Day-Comfort™ System.

LESS EYEGLASS FOGGING – When formed around your nose and worn properly, the unique viscoelastic nose foam and aluminum nose clip reduce eyeglass fogging for better visibility.

Reviews

Finally able to buy masks made in USA!!!! Thank you SO MUCH. Awesome they're made in Massachusetts.

Lois Rowe

The masks are working well. Of all the masks we have used these are the tightest and best fitting masks of all of them.

The cushioning nose foam and the staple free attachment point make the mask extremely comfortable to wear. Having these masks available for our staff has truly given me peace of mind that our facility is protected from the COVID-19 virus.

Great experience. Easy to order and delivered in 2 days. EXCELLENT quality materials and the elastic head bands don’t stretch or break. I am a customer for life thank you Shawmut!

The way the seal around the cheeks and nose is designed, it helps prevent eyeglass fogging better than any other design I have tried.

To Whom It May Concern:

Just to let you know. The masks I ordered arrived today and THEY ARE PERFECT! Comfortable snug fit, good breathability, a relief to know that it’s possible to get quality manufactured goods from the U.S. Thank you. I’ll let friends know.

Robert Beckhardt M.D.

The fit is excellent, and consistent from mask to mask. Because of the excellent fit and construction, my eyeglasses do not fog as they do with other masks. They also do not smell objectionable, as some other N95 masks have.

David S.

I like the foam strip under the nose. It makes the fit and the seal better. Both times that I ordered I was impressed that they were shipped out the next day.

This is probably overall the best N95-compliant mask I've tried. I'd definitely recommend it if that is what you are looking for. It does interfere a bit with wearing glasses, though less so than some other N95 masks I've tried. Also, like all N95 masks I've seen or tried, the two straps are a bit more of a pain than the usual ear loops on cloth masks, but it needs those straps to get the seal necessary to meet the N95 standard.

Doug H.

I am always traveling internationally and feel it essential to fly during these times only using the N95 respirator. These masks are comfortable enough to use for long hours and long flights.

Laura S.

I used the N95 today and it is the best one I've had. The elastic is perfect... not too loose, not too tight. Doesn't break from the mask, or pull my hair. The mask doesn't collapse or leave marks on my face. And I especially like the foam around the nose. Awesome job!

Mary M.

We are thrilled to be able to get a locally manufactured N95 mask of such a high quality at a reasonable price. In comparison to other respirators we have used, Shawmut’s Protex N95 is extremely comfortable, soft and well-fitting.
