They're Pretty Great
I was initially concerned about ordering these because when I purchased them, they hadn't been up for long, and the only feedback that was on there was obviously fake. I decided to give it a shot because they were what I was after initially.Furthering my concern was that the tracking number they gave me for 4PX was non-existent in all the tracking systems. I figured I'd wait the full number of days and then when they didn't get here by the expected arrival date, I'd just request a refund....but after 30 days, they have arrived. Ordered on 21 April 2020, they arrived 20 May 2020. Looks like they were sent to someone in New York, and then sent to me. I'd be very surprised if someone could get them in less than 2 weeks like they claim. Expect to wait about 4-5 weeks. If you're not ok with that, then don't order from overseas. If you're ok with the wait, then these are a good option.Be advised, these really aren't for COVID-19 protection. Sure, they will protect against other people infecting you, but they really won't do anything to protect other people from you, which is part of the point of the mask. I didn't really think about it when I selected these, but the exhaust valves allow your breath to pass the filter, so if you're getting this mask strictly for COVID-19/contagion spreading reasons, then you should consider getting one without a vent. I think I'm going to put a piece of duct tape on the inside so that my breath goes though the filter rather than the vent. When this is all over, I'll put the masks in what my wife calls our "Zombie Apocalypse" go-bag. I can just take the tape off and then the mask will be used as intended, just for our personal safety. So, if you're cool with doing that, then this mask can still be good for COVID protection, for both you and those around you.They fit decently well, but do project out a bit further from the face than I expected. The ear straps keep the mask up, so that's a very nice feature. They seem like good quality. The stitching is good. The velcro on the back is very small, so I don't think it will snag clothing, which I never thought about before.The fit, at least for me, is slightly awkward. The most comfortable position I've found makes the mask almost rest just lower than my eyes. This isn't a problem, but for those who have to wear glasses, I'd be careful. They will still work if you lower the mask a bit so that your glasses could fit, but it might be awkward or not as comfortable. I tried it with my reading glasses and it was ok, but they had to sit really high up on my nose.The nose pads that they provide help quite a bit. I was disappointed that one set of the 3 masks only had 4 pads and 2 slivers of a pad (looks like a malfunction on the machine or human error). Not worth taking off a star, but certainly a disappointment.Do remember to get additional filters; these are disposable filters, not washable, and they don't come with any extra. You can find them on Amazon.Overall, if you can deal with the wait (which you don't really have many choices, I haven't seen anything available that gets it to you faster), then these are good.

The valves do NOT work, but with some modifications....
The valves do not work, but I knew that going in.The valves do NOT keep outside air out, and even if they did, one-way valves are NOT good for COVID-19 purposes, as they don't protect anyone from you if you happen to have COVID-19 but have no symptoms. DO NOT USE THE VALVES. Do what I did instead:I took the valves out and replaced them with my own home-made filters made out of a double layer of Filti fabric. I added a couple of velcro head straps to keep the straps from sagging onto the tops of the ears.With those modifications, I believe it is a well-fitting mask for COVID-19 safety. My husband uses it all day, in a high-risk situation, and hasn't contracted COVID-19 in 8 months, so I assume it's working. He says its pretty comfortable and it keeps the filter I made firmly in place. It can also be sterilized with alcohol or with baking in the oven (we bake it in a moist oven at 170 degrees F for 30 minutes) without damage to the mask itself (I replace the home-made filters regularly).

Arrived extremely late
I ordered the masks on May 3rd and they were promised between May 28th and June 17th. They did not arrive until June 26th. One would expect a bit more prompt delivery of masks during a pandemic when they are not medical/surgical masks. They are a good size and fairly comfortable, and the Velcro straps in addition to the ear loops are a good feature for not slipping down. The carbon filters are loose and can easily fallout if not tightened.

Very comfortable, seal is good, perfect for long-wear.
First of all, I want to address the poor reviews left because of shipping speed. This product is coming from China. There are definitely shipping delays. If you don't like that, you can't fault the manufacturer. However, I did contact them to get a tracking number. They apologized for the delay, and refunded me a portion of my purchase. I did not ask, but they did so anyway. Through some research, I found my tracking number and received my product today. It has been almost 2 months exactly since my day of purchase, and I am very happy that I did make the purchase.I immediately pulled a mask from its package (they are individually packaged in resealable bags). The mask is attractive and soft at the first appearance and touch. They provide additional cushion to adjust the mask and proper fitting. The mask is very easy to put on and extremely comfortable. The bridge piece is adjustable to create a better seal. After you get the mask on comfortably, you can adjust the strap in the back to keep it secure.I am very happy with my purchase. I would definitely buy this product again. The filter is good for particles as low as 2.5 microns, but there are multiple layers of the filter to be effective and provide protection. I am still looking for filters that will fit this mask that are PM0.3, which is the size of a covid19 virus particle. I will gladly customize them to fit this mask.I hope this helps.

Not sure what this mask will do what the seller advertised
First - the shipment was super extra long. Bought June 7th - - got here July 25thSecond - the mask material the black fabric is made from some type of synthesis meshed material. In terms of filtering airborne particles - - I highly doubt it will do anything there as it claims to filter dust, pollens, PM2.5 - - this is absolutely not true.Third - size is smaller than usual. This is probably for petite statue person. But an average size person, it is a little small.Forth - Because the mesh material won't filter anything much, then you only have that supposedly 5 layer filter as you only protection. Well, the way it is made, that double-dotted line of heatpress seal actual punches lots of open holes. So, when you in hale . . there are a very high chance of pollens, PM2.5 air borne particles will get through.This product is poorly made and way over hype false advertisement. For these reasons, I am going to send it back !!!
