Slightly OT but I much prefer the 9211+: the vent[*] makes a difference in comfort when worn over long periods. Or the 9105 / 9105S which sticks out further away from the face, and its elastic design makes it a bit quicker to don / doff at checkpoints.
[*] Yes I'm prioritizing my comfort over safety for others, but that's the American Way (tm), isn't it.
Thanks for this recommendation; I was considering ordering these for my next trip since they should fit the same as 9205+.
(I don't see an issue with wearing an exhalation vent next to folks who aren't wearing masks themselves. If they cared about the air they'd also be wearing a mask. If I sat next to someone wearing one I'd switch back to the 9205+.)
Same here. I use the Honeywell Saf-T-Fit masks, with the exhaust, either N99 or P100. They have a soft cushion where it touches the face and I find it's far superior in comfort on long flights to masks without the soft inner part. A little more expensive, but I'll never fly with a regular N95 again.
There are masks with full N95 filtration that have a fan built in to pull the air through the filter. Makes it much more comfortable to wear for long periods.
(I switch to a mask with no metal in it for airport metal detectors, but I can switch back again immediately afterwards.)
