seems to be wonderful; unsure of true certifications
On the face of it this mask seems to be wonderful. It is much more comfortable than the molded cup style; and is smaller and stays put better than the "sideways duck" style common with KN95 masks. And from cursory research, it is my understanding that the KF94 is certified by the Korean equivalent of OSHA and offers similar protection to an N95 mask (although I think that in the USA NIOSH certifies N95 masks, not OSHA).However the masks themselves, as nice as they are, have no marking indicating "KF94" or "KMOEL-2017-64". (In the United States, all N95 masks I've seen clearly indicate their rating and often their brand and lot number, because verifying certification is so important. The packaging has no indication of "KF94" or certification either! Only the product insert (a piece of paper printed and included in the package) indicates "KMOEL-2017-64" and a "KATRI Certificate" number for the MB100.The lack of explicit markings and the lack of a way to verify any certification leaves me less than confident. I asked for more information as a product question here, but no one responded. I was prepared to buy these in bulk after I tried them and liked them, but I don't want to spend so much money for something I can't verify its safety and efficacy.Could the manufacturer please let us know:* Does the product merely _comply_ with KF94/KMOEL-2017-64, or has it actually been tested and certified by some official industry body?* Why is the regulatory certification not clearly printed on the product and the packaging?* How can consumers verify that this product has indeed been tested and certified to meet the relevant KF94 standards?

Questionable Protection
Got these expecting them to be of higher quality than the KN95's we've used. I'm afraid we were disappointed. Don't get me wrong, they are well made and fit us better than other masks we've tried. I've also no doubt that they would protect against viruses much better than any cloth mask. But...There is no indication on, or in, the package that they are KF94 rated. When I attempted to blow on a candle, the air definitely got through and affected the flame. When I exercised with them on, I could breathe easily - too easily. None of these things were true with the KN95 we've been using. With that in mind, we'll stick with the KN95's until something better comes along. This mask isn't it.

Liked, and trusted better than the Chinese KN95's.
These will become my new disposable mask source and type. Goodbye to the Chinese KN95's!I have grown weary and untrusting of the many KN95 Chinese masks that supposedly rate the same internationally as the US N95 level mask. However, am also tired of finding my KN95 source listed on the US Government's "naughty" list (masks that initially were supposed to pass US standards, but then when tested fell way short and approval was retracted).Korean sourced masks such as these are also supposed to be rated near to what the US n95's; and I have never heard at any time, any problems or concerns about their quality and performance.In trying them out, I find them comfortable and reasonably durable. I use these masks for class lecturing. I use the mask for a two-hour class, then put it out of circulation for 3 weeks, then use it again. I have 15 such masks, one for each day of my 15-day class.Additionally, if I have a breath issue (from dry mouth, or if a strong=smelling food is eaten), often I find that aroma setting in on the Chinese model masks. I have not been able to remedy this problem. So far, no such issue has arisen with these Korean sourced masks.The ear bands' melted attach point to the mask also seems to be holding up much better (lasting longer and not disconnecting) than the Chinese versions.My only issue is having to adjust them a bit stricter to avoid glasses fogging. I do use a defogging agent, but still, have to make sure the mask is well adjusted to prevent moisture build-up. This is not a major problem, however.

Great hygienic packaging and good quality masks
I am a healthcare provider and have used many different types of masks during this pandemic.MB100, AKA Korea 1st class masks, are equivalent to KF94s in South Korea, which is similar to N95s in US. These are a better buy than KN95s from China since there are many counterfeit KN95s out there.These masks were individually packaged with ear savers. They seemed a bit thinner than the KF94s I have used in the past. They were comfortable to wear and the fit was pretty good. The wire for the nose part wasn’t centered, however, which bothered my OCD, but didn’t affect the fit.Great hygienic packaging and good quality masks overall.

No KF 94 rating on the package or anywhere
I purchased these masks specifically because the description said it was KF 94 rated. The package makes no mention of the rating whatsoever. I'm going to return them. It's false advertising!

Had high hopes. Don’t buy.
I had high hopes for these. I needed a mask that would give me great protection while allowing me to breathe as I’m immunocompromised and allergic to an ingredient in the vaccines aka the world is a dangerous place for me right now. Having to go to a doctor in a big city I wanted to make sure I was prepared. I got this along with black LG masks of similar design. I tried these out a couple of days before my trip and it smelled horrible like chemicals, I felt like I couldn’t breath with it on and after wearing it for 5-10 minutes my face was completely red and irritated. I quickly switched to another mask I carry on hand. They said all the right things in their description but if you have any sensitivities to smells or chemicals or anything. AVOID THIS MASK. Thankfully I got a amount. LG masks are wayyyyy better. I could wear them for 10 hours straight no issue and their around the same price.
