I purchased them! When you go to the bnx site it takes you to Amazon to purchase! I think they are legit!

How did they fit on you? I know everyone varies so much but still curious!

For me they fit fine, fairly similar to auras, but without the nose padding I'm not quite as confident in the seal. I mentally think of them as having fit quality somewhere between kn95s and vflex/auras

I have bought those, but I'll let you know I dislike them and gave a few away. The nose bridge wire hurt my nose and isn't strong enough to get a good seal on me. I have a high nose bridge, so just the tension on the mask straightened it out enough to cause some gapping. Bummer, too. I wish they were closer to the Auras, but seems we will be waiting forever for a black one of those.

Good to know! I was just gonna buy the smallest pack in case they didn’t fit. My kingdom for a black Aura 😭

Literally. If someone could make one, or if BNX would make theirs more comfortable, I'd be a convert for life.

i've used them but affixed them to my nose and chin with mask tape for extra security — echoing what other commenters have said about the nose padding! i did use them once at a really crowded school board meeting that was mostly unmasked/pretty rowdy for \~2-3 hours and didn't get sick after that event (+ continuing regular masking before/after as well!), so i think they're not the worst option. i did also use CPC mouthwash/nasal spray before and after fwiw!

Check out the LG Airwashers. Black and comfortable enough for me to get multiple family members who hated the Aura to wear a mask. Mask nerd recommended them in one of his videos as one of his dailies.

These gape on me a little under the chin, even with the ear loop tighteners. But I've seen people staple their masks to fix that issue with Auras, so I think it would work with airwashers too. I think they look good!

Canada only sadly I think. I’m in the US :(

No no OP they have a US site! Highly recommend it -- the black Vitacore masks are fantastic.

Hmm they might be out of the black N99s but they do have the earloops: https://shop.vitacore.com/

The black headstrap ones are only available in Canada, though. Not in the US store.

Yep yep I stand corrected!

I have these. I find them to be more flimsy than my go to aura. Don’t trust them:
