Gildan Adult Reusable Self-Care Mask with Ear Loops

Wow! I was impressed and surprised by how many masks this was, and that they were all quality, cloth washable masks! The only complaint is they are slightly too large for me so they fall down past my nose unless I tie the ear strings smaller.

I purchased these mask after I decided that I've wasted enough money buying disposable mask and I was tired of the hit or miss issues that I was having with the disposable mask. These mask are great. I got so many in the pack. It's definitely a great value. It's nice to know that I'll never have to buy another mask again. Just wash and wear just like my clothes. These mask are nice and thick so I feel more protected. They are very soft and comfortable. Both sides are black, so I don't have to worry about my makeup showing up real bad on them. One side is cotton, and the other side is kind of a smoother silky type of material. I use the cotton side on my face, and the silky side on the outside. They are comfortable around the ears and never fall off. When I washed them the first time, they looked shriveled up a bit, but I just pulled at both sides and pulled at the top and bottom and voila, good to go. I definitely recommend.

These are absolutely great before they get washed they fit well and are nice and soft. But once you wash them they end up pulling too tight and being scratchy and they don't want to cover the whole space theyre supposed to anymore.

If you gotta beard this is for you. I have a 5 inch beard and this works well. The fit is very comfortable. Breathes easy in my thoughts. I am a nigh stocker for a grocery store HEB. HEB maintains a mask policy. I wear this all 10 hours on average minus the lunch breaks. The ears are a bit tight at first, but you can stretch them one time and it loosens up perfectly to where you are very comfortable. I did was them and found them to shrink just a tad. I just stretched it out a bit and back to a great fit. It's double sided, so you get more protection then a single layer of cloth. As I stated I am a stocker at a grocery chain. This is heavy breathing with speed, lifting and walking fast during the 8 plus hours.

Update after 4 10 hour shifts. There seem to be inconsistencies in the masks I have worn. From the size of the actual mask, and the length and orientation of the elastic ear loops. Small variations but noticeable differences while wearing it for an extended period of time. Also once the inner layer gets any kind of moisture, be it sweat or saliva from speaking it begins to cling and retain heat even more becoming uncomfortable. I have now gone to changing out masks once or twice during my shift to circumvent that problem.Update after 1 10 hour shift in a manufacturing plant. After wearing for an hour the fabric began to stretch. This caused the inner layer to cling to my nostrils as I inhaled. The elastic let up a touch but not much. Began to feel like a paper mask by the end of my shift. Maybe after a few wash and repeat cycles it will feel a bit betterPurchased by a 36 y/o male. With facial hair.Purchased these hoping to find a good alternative to wearing the standard paper mask at work for 8-10 hours a day. Although I appreciate the snug fit against my face, the elastic is too short causing it to pull on my ears something fierce.The feel is nice. Breathes about the same as a paper mask, seems to funnel the air out into your eyes more directly though. Doesn't give me a scratchy feeling with my beard/stubble.The fit again is snug enough to where I don't require a nose piece for them to form to my face. They actually are better than some of the paper masks that have the moldable nose piece.The only downside for me again would be the elastic, which is difficult to gage being a 1 size fits most product. Most of the masks I received have twists in the elastic making them uncomfortable to wear.

When this whole pandemic started, I bought masks. I felt it would go on for quiet a while, but also felt my level of exposure in most places was low. At work (ambulance) we were given 1 N-95 mask, supposed to keep it in a paper bag for reuse, asked to wear a cloth over it to keep it cleaner. Outside of work, I wanted something that would give a bit of protection for me, or the people around me, but also wanted something comfortable. I tried many different shapes, designs, and finally found these. We keep them in a bag hanging on door. When we leave the house, you grab a clean one. When you get home, you throw it into the washing machine. Next time we do laundry, they get washed and put back by the door. And the system works.I am not going to say they are comfortable, or soft or anything like that, I hate masks. Comfortable is no mask. But these are large enough that you can talk without it falling off your nose (you are not always readjusting), they do pull tight on my face, my ears stick out a bit, but I am breathing through the mask, not around it. It is 3 layers, so should give some level of protection for most encounters. They are reusable, not disposable, less waste going into landfills, but inexpensive enough that when the elastic breaks, or something, you don't worry about getting rid of it. I think we have now bought 3 packs and when my son left for school we sent him with a full pack for use there. Until the day comes when we don't need them anymore, this is my mask of choice.

ear loops are way to small, feels like child size

To begin with, let me explain that I'm an 80-year-old male with health issues. Two heart valves replaced, COPD, and other issues like blood pressure. I've found it hard to breathe with most masks. Although these are inexpensive they are surprisingly well made, soft, and easy to breathe in. I've added nose wires to cut down on fogging of my glasses. I've also conducted a test, where I tried to blow a candle flame through the mask. I wasn't able to make the flame flicker, which shows that I'm not passing any droplets through the mask. They also fit my face well without openings on the sides and they fit under my chin so that I'm not constantly adjusting on my face. They wash well too. I only write reviews for products that I find exceptional.

I bought these 3 months ago and my family has been wearing them since. Durable, comfortable, and they fit a number of adult face sizes, male and female, with very good coverage. The layers of fabric make for breathable wearing, and the quality of the 3 fabric layers is very good. They have withstood multiple washes, and I suggest putting them (or any masks) in a mesh laundry bag so the ear loops don't get caught in the washing machine spindle. I will be ordering more of these masks.

Esta bueno y buena calidad.

Compare:Gildan mask – used twice and hand washed 3x.Blue mask – have been using this 4x a week since April. Hand washed after use.Findings on this Gildan mask:- cotton fabric sheds some lint. Be careful if washing with other clothes. In the future, I hope Gildan will use a different fabric which hardly shed at all. My blue mask does not have this problem.- sewing quality is very good.- out of shape after 2 washings. Not obvious though when worn.- compared to my blue mask which is 2 layered, this 3 layered Gildan takes a bit longer to dry.- I find the elastic band earloop comfortable. Both masks have the same band length.- price is very reasonable.Overall, I am quite happy with this purchase.

Great quality masks for the price! They're really comfortable on the face and feel fitted. The ear straps are from elastic strips so they're durable but also less comfy than the ones with string. There are no pockets for filters and no nose strips, but it's ok - I felt that it was easier to breathe in this mask versus something like the Old Navy ones.

Ha ha! Literally opened the first two ...the strings broken no kidding. The rest i can see the threads loosening. Cant return these OBVIOUSLY.Had to order liquid glue. Material is soft.
