3:05 Not a mistranslation. Yellow dust pollution is pretty bad in South Korea. Initially, KF94's were developed for this kind of pollution. There's even a dedicated government institution for air pollution which is the National Air Emission Inventory and Research Center. Just like the daily news report, they also report the rate of yellow dust pollution. There are even phone advisories that tells you to wear a mask
As long as you get the right size these KF94 respirator (masks) really are the way forward. Not so much in healthcare where a secure fit (double head strap) is needed, but general public as they are so easy to put on and comfortable. Come on lets keep each other safe. #MaskUp
Hi! Nic here from Armbrust's social team. CONGRATS! You are the lucky winner of our giveaway! Would you mind sending an email to social@armbrustusa.com with your shipping info? Thanks!
I have used a lot of these masks, and they are a good fit and I like them. I find them easy to breathe in for long periods of time. The one thing I do to snug up the fit is tying a short knot in the ear loop at the ends.
To wit, yellow dust refers to the particulates that is carried by annual dust storms that originates in China and Mongolia. My first time experiencing the advent of yellow dust in Seoul, Korea was rather unpleasant as I woke up every morning with sore/itchy throat and nausea. Hence, KF94 was born to combat against this pollutant.
Totally agree that KF94's are an excellent choice. Given the different circumstances that require different masking, I'd love to see Armbrust get into this style of mask. They're so much better for kids than cup style masks in proper fit alone.
@@violetpie2941 Right. After a little legwork I found a USA company, Armbrust Inc. in Pflugerville TX that produces 98% maximum filtration efficiency set of 3-layer face masks. They're approved by the U.S. FDA for use as protection against the spread of infection or illness in the covid19 pandemic. And that's good enough for me.
Good Manner masks: Positive: breathable and has a lot of space, quite durable, smells good (!), has soft interior lining. Negative: thicker and hotter than some other kf94 when wearing it in the summer, especially when it's humid. Fit is weird: I have an average sized female face, and the fit is a bit loose in the nose area for a kf94 compared to others. My friend with a big male face found it too small. I've tried nearly 10 brands of KF94 masks btw, this brand is good but not the best I've tried. (I like Natural Harmony and Care On more)
I have BOTNs and although they're good the Good Manners look like they give alot more space between the person's mouth and the inside of the mask which makes talking alot easier. Also looks like it's a much lighter material so breathability is greater and sound travels better.
This is the mask that I’ve been wearing for a few months now. I really like them! Thanks for reviewing them. My only complaint is that my face is kind of big and the flap on the bottom may be a little too short. Still one of the best I’ve worn
I bought the kids mask in a yellow color. Your website indicates a 99.67% filtration efficiency. Would that also apply for different colors or would the dye affect filtration?
How have the adult and kids versions been so far? I've seen comments that the noise wire could be stiffer and was wondering if you felt the same on that front as well.
I like kf94 style , its pretty comfortable. I've used masklab brand several times and you can talk and even sung with it. Love that you test others brands notnonly yours. Btw I also have used your surgical masks and bought the new k95 you made.
Just got my good manner KF94s fours in Black from Amazon. As of today I can only find them in white, black, beige, and gray. Most of the earloop-style KN95s that I bought have been too tight around the ears. These ear Loops were actually a little too loose but very soft. I would rather have a little too loose than too tight because you can twist each one like a figure 8 to make it snugger. This mask felt so thin and lightweight that I kept trying to pinch the layers apart, to verify it was 4 layers. It felt like two layers at the most and I was worried that they were fake. Cut in half with scissors and it is indeed a four layers of different materials. The nosebridge seems strong enough. I'm about 5-7 and this mask might be ideal for a taller person as well. Maybe not someone much shorter. Armbrust website scores this very high for filtration and breathability. Haven't worn to work yet just wanted to drop a line to mention mine is 4 layers. Glasses can secure the top nose area better.

not sure why my comment is not showing up. just wondering if there is an error in the results page on the Amazon mask test list. This was listed as fail along with this video, so they do not match. Purchased this product after seeing a good price on it and seeing this video to check if it was any good. This also seems to be the case for the BOTN mask which was highly rated by another mask tester. Your video reviews it favorably, but the test results page lists it as fail do not buy. Also, did you by chance test GoFuly Black Keeper KF94? Thanks. These videos and resources are very useful.
I find that the KF94 fits my 2 year olds face the best. We have gaps on the sides of her face with the surgical masks and that’s not an issue with the KF94.
In UK blue "surgical masks" are known as FRSM. Which stands for "fluid resistant surgical masks". Their functional purpose is only to act as a barrier for large droplets (coughs and sneezes) particles that are not airborne, splashing onto patients. So the design is only one-way and not the same as N95/KF94/FFP3 ect which are designed to create a seal with facial contours and that *filter* the fine aerosols which we breathe in and out. It is for this reason surgical masks are not even classified as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
I enjoy and appreciate all the reviews here. However I wish you/he would comment a bit more on the fit of each brand like does the top actually stay snug enough not to fog your glasses if you wear them. Please and Thank you.
I like the appearance of the KF94 better than the KN95. I spent hours today trying to find a KF94 brand that was CDC/FDA approved in the USA. Also trying to find ones that were any color but black or white for my mom so that she would be more encouraged to wear them. When it comes to the colored KF94 and KN95 it seems like someone on Amazon will always write that they had a bad smell or that they got a rash. Also mixed in with a bunch of great reviews. I wish the USA CDC could just make it easier to list masks that they approve of and places that you can buy them. They make it very confusing.
thanks for your video. Do you find k94s to feel thinner than kn95s? I recently got some k94s and to me then feel more lightweight. Wondering if it’s just me
Even though ive already won the mask sample box. Im still going to be commenting and liking all the vids because I care! Im a damn mask nerd and Im proud of it lol. For real though I do love these videos
Thank you. Love KF94 masks. Wearing dr puri medium but not avail in black. Is this Good Manner in sizes like medium? And avail in black? I will check Amazon. But if you know, thanks.
I wear Ambrust ASTM Level 3 surgical masks every day. But for Amtrak trains, indoor concerts and all flights,. I wear the Good Manner KF94. I didn't send this in.
Thanks for doing the test! The listing you pulled up says 59 cents each (it's now 88 cents each). They are cheaper on Gmarket with a shipping sale and coupon. They start at 25 cents in Korea. There are other KF94s that start at 10 cents.
Yes we post the results as soon as we do the test. Actually, it happens live. Sometimes it takes us a while to post the video and in this case we actually lost the file for a min 🤦🏻♂️
I bought a 5 pack at Home Depot. They pictured a construction worker on the box but the size medium was too small for me and I'm only 5-7. They have a chemical in them which is supposed to kill flu viruses. You have to take them out of the wrapper and let them air out over a day so the smell can decrease. It's a well-made mask but like many in this style the straps can break if you're not careful. It's a nice blue color but it gives you a pretty big beak. They make a surgical style mask as well with the same chemical in it.
Yellow dust is not a mistranslation on the package, it means the type of dust that originates in arid parts of China and Mongolia, which are lifted by winds and then deposited across Asia, periodically creating awful air quality issues. It's one of the reasons KF94 masks exist in the first place.
My dermatologist had an excellent mask and, I inquired where I could get one. She immediately wrote down Armbrust brand name is the best. If it is good for a M.D., I'll take it Marlo Drake
Chinese mask is not effective, my ear hurts and mask is not form fitting. Kn95 mask comes less in performance standard. But, KOREAN MASK KF94 is very comfortable fit, you can hardly feel the ear loop, you can actually breath and design is stylish too.
There is a Mask Brand called "Welcare Mask" one of the most popular mask in my country They claimed that they are the grestest mask. hmm And it super cheap . I'm just cursion is it real good or just great advertise, If I in US I would send the mask to you.
Hi! Nic here from Armbrust's social team. CONGRATS! You are the lucky winner of our giveaway! Would you mind sending an email to social@armbrustusa.com with your shipping info? Thanks!
The Good Manner masks used to be good, but ever since they decided to print their stupid brand name Handa on the front of the mask affecting the integrity of the mask, I stopped buying from them.
Just learned about Kf94, thanks! Had no clue. You rock! Thanks so much, been binging on your channel since last night and I can't believe everything you've taught me about all kinds of masks. Again, thanks! You're such a nerdy clown! I love it! Keep it up. 🤓 🤡 😷💯 🔥

is yellow dust like pollen? or is that a type of human made pollution?
I actually have these masks in black in my stash, good to know that these filters really well!

I wear your masks daily, they're sooo comfortable!! I love how you test all these masks and let us know which ones are reputable! :))
Thank you so much!
I have started buying your masks because you test others mask. Your videos are great. Keep them coming.

It looks super comfortable. Pretty cool that they add a nice scent to the masks.
It's funny, because some people are weird with scents and some people LOVE them!
@@ArmbrustUSA Based on anecdotal evidence it seems like either people love scents, don't care either way, or are sensitive/allergic to them.
Yellow dust refers to the pollution they have over there which is one of the reasons why mask wearing is relatively common over there.
To wit, yellow dust refers to the particulates that is carried by annual dust storms that originates in China and Mongolia. My first time experiencing the advent of yellow dust in Seoul, Korea was rather unpleasant as I woke up every morning with sore/itchy throat and nausea. Hence, KF94 was born to combat against this pollutant.
And thankfully the same electrostatic charge filters other particles including bioaerosls.
I have some of these, I only wear them when I'm indoors.. when I have to be close like at the doctor's office. I wear your mask all the time.
Good manners are in three colours. It would be interesting to know if colours affect quality.
Totally agree that KF94's are an excellent choice. Given the different circumstances that require different masking, I'd love to see Armbrust get into this style of mask. They're so much better for kids than cup style masks in proper fit alone.
Yes! And we want to buy from American companies made in U.S.A. please make some of these style of masks.
@@PinkwithaP it won’t be a kf94 if it’s made in America has to be made in Korea

have u tried 악마돼지 (verde)??
I recently bought a pack of these and will NEVER wear another style. Theses are AMAZING!
I have BOTNs and although they're good the Good Manners look like they give alot more space between the person's mouth and the inside of the mask which makes talking alot easier. Also looks like it's a much lighter material so breathability is greater and sound travels better.
I bought these because of your testing I’ve watch many of your videos and ty, u made my job protecting my kids easier
This is the mask that I’ve been wearing for a few months now. I really like them! Thanks for reviewing them. My only complaint is that my face is kind of big and the flap on the bottom may be a little too short. Still one of the best I’ve worn
Where do you order this?
I have that same problem! It fit great everywhere else, but it would not stay under my chin and kept sliding up.
We have the same problem.
Good Manner is now my go-to. Highly recommend 👍👍👍
Can you guys make something like that too ?
Thanks for reviewing it waiting for amrbust k94 ❤️
I bought the kids mask in a yellow color. Your website indicates a 99.67% filtration efficiency. Would that also apply for different colors or would the dye affect filtration?
Make a kf94 style! Would love an Armbrust kf94 style!!
Wow, thanks! Impressive test results.
Thanks for reviewing! I just bought 100 pack!
Great looking masks and great review
Great review, bought a whole bunch of these and the kids version based on this advice. Cheers
How have the adult and kids versions been so far? I've seen comments that the noise wire could be stiffer and was wondering if you felt the same on that front as well.
Picked up a box of these based on the review. Didn't hurt that they are amazingly priced.
Are the KF94 style masks better than the “duck” style masks previously tested?
I like kf94 style , its pretty comfortable. I've used masklab brand several times and you can talk and even sung with it. Love that you test others brands notnonly yours. Btw I also have used your surgical masks and bought the new k95 you made.

Can you try Purion kf94?
Do a review of the softseal mask on your UA-cam channel ok

Are there any KN95 or KF94 masks for children that you recommend that have cute/colorful prints on them?
do you have a link for this mask?
Excited to try these!
Thank you. Love KF94 masks. Wearing dr puri medium but not avail in black. Is this Good Manner in sizes like medium? And avail in black? I will check Amazon. But if you know, thanks.
1 size only. Available in white, black, pink, grey and beige.

Review the Respokare. They’re great, but have a crazy smell. Wondering if they’re safe from an adhesive perspective.

Good Video. Neat looking mask
I wish I could include the KF94 in my search but Im limited to Kn95 or N95 only. 😞
Like to try that mask.
why on your web page stated on 99.37% but on here 99.637%, which is the correct one?
.637 was correct, I've updated that on the website. Thanks for catching that!
@@ArmbrustUSA thanks
Thanks!
Kn94 they look like nice masks
Amo este canal, ojala pudiera comprar su kn95 en México

Wow Zac Efron!
He reminds me of John Stamos but now that you mention it, I can kinda see some Zac Efron too. Lol
I only buy Armbrust masks
