Hey WussRedXLi, can trouble you to test out 4 masks for me? Headache trying to find smaller masks for adults. Tried a couple of the recommended ones here but they're too big. Sometimes the listed measurements sound small but when they arrive, they seem bigger. Like what Ender said, there are other variables like loop length, distance between loops etc that determine final fit.

Anyway, I bought the following mostly from Flash Sales, to try out. Other main criteria for me is no wasteful packaging. Want to avoid unless really bo pian.

1. Nawell Medium - this looks perfect for small faces; haven't tried yet.
2. Hansol Medtec 2D Medium - comfortable for small face
3. Purefit Normal/Large - ok for normal sized face, at most tie a knot. Slides off small face.
4. Tamsaa Normal - Size and feel are comfortable for average size face. Abit loose for small face. It has flat loops which you say are China style? So want to check the mask as a whole.

Was also given a few sample Plan Zero black KF94 masks from Tamsaa. They are perfect for small face. But they come in single packets and are only in black I think. Also seem abit pricey.

Will send them out today or tomorrow.

Sure man......

Nawell Medium @ 195mm is good. There is also the new F915 from mezzang meant for teenage kids. Use the normal priced one and then $3 coupon.
Experts w multiple accounts can try $3 and free ship coupons + qoo10 cart trick.....to get around $15.49 shipping incld.

Cannot worry too much abt bulk packaging, coz cant be helped, the vast majority are not bulk
Cheap can liao

You wanna try heart mom kids size, $25 + 1.99 after $5 coupon.
That one is 180mm. Lagi smaller than Nawell or F915.

For 145cm tall 45kg pax is good, super petite ladies.
But that might be a little snug, though some pax might want that......esp if using 3M micropore so you'd be wearing the mask a wee bit little lower (ard 5mm) than normal.
5 pcs / pack

Sent out the masks. The Nawell fitted well after all (approx 155 cm tall female) so Heart Mom may be too small. Will look at F915. Thanks!

We did mention the other time that F912 is the biggest of the 3. See above 2 quoted posts. ;)

F912 > F731 > F919
I find F919 more comfortable, while the F731 feels looser after about half an hour of wearing. Thus I skipped the F912 altogether.

I was out the whole afternoon yesterday using the F731 with a pair of "stoppers" and it worked well. :)
The problem is the newer "upgraded" F731 is not faring well in bro WussRedXLi recent test :(

Hi folks, I've read about 4 pages (50 posts each) after work and feel that this thread is really useful.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure which models are the better ones after reading the inconsistencies of various models/numbers, watching videos and trying to understand how the testing is done.

I added so many into my cart but is anybody able to recommend me 1 model for outdoor and 1 model for indoor use?

Thank you!

The latest F731 sent to me by some regular poster here (forgot who) fared well, ie the latest batch in which Mezzang brought it back after being OOS.

The very last batch around end Oct before it went OOS measured a wee bit worse than the mixshop BFE 99.9%, but only 1 batch.

Shd be ok now.

Already replied to your PM. Since you have an earpain issue, i think better go for the mixshop.
I really love the chinese stuff (mixshop need to air for 2-3 days tho) in terms of the wider earstraps.

Thanks for clarifying.

Tot it's upgraded F731 after OOS not faring well in test :s22:
So far F731 is best fit after Chamsarang so may need to get it again. Think got to send to u for testing if buy F731 again :o Thanks.

Suspect the fabric yarn got baited and switched by the supplier to the mask manufacturer, and the manufacturer also did not go test on PFE machine before accepting and putting into production.
Coz that time the original F731 OOS liao, then lots of people kaopei....then i guess he go pressure the manfacturer/line to push out 1 more time (maybe he placed order for say 5k packs? Doable one).

Actually it's not difficult, just have to get the equipment. Heck, as you can see, even my $60 DIY equipment relying on just ambient non-hazy air able to sniff it out.

Thanks bro, I've added quite a number of Mezzang into my cart.

What do you mean by Chinese stuff?

Yep just send it in for verification again. Then we would know if the quality is sustained. For just 1 mask and small standard envelope...actually 30c is fine.
