The Ctc Connexions 20-pack of red masks provides a vibrant aesthetic for those who want a colorful option for art or lab classes. The masks are individually wrapped, which is ideal for maintaining the sterile integrity of the electrostatic filter while they are being transported. The five-layer composite is designed for a low initial breathing resistance, making them comfortable for shorter tasks.
The build features a dual-core aluminum nose bridge, which provides good "memory" for a secure pinch over the nose. However, the weld points for the ear loops are a frequent failure area; the red dye process can sometimes make these bonds more brittle than standard white masks. To avoid snapping the elastic, it is best to be gentle when putting the mask on. Also, the absence of a foam nose strip means eyeglass wearers may need to adjust the wire carefully to prevent fogging.
Specifications show that these masks have a standard wall thickness of about 1.2mm. Because they lack a rigid internal skeleton, they may collapse slightly if you are breathing heavily during a task. These are a great "small-medium" fit, providing a discrete and colorful solution for general daily use.
If you prefer a mask with a more traditional professional look and higher volume, the Levenis 50-pack in black is a solid bulk option.
