The funny thing is mid-Dec (right before the omicron hit), Costco was selling the N95/20pk for $24.99.Loomy wrote: ↑ The N95 you bought costs more because it is a name brand with more features which you can trust because it is certified to perform well by NIOSH at the CDC. The Medsup KN95 is a random imported mask that we trust just because Costco is a big company that we trust.
The main difference between the two is that the Honeywell N95 has headstraps and nose foam for a tighter fit with less leakage. The Medsup KN95 has earloops which are more convenient for some people. You'll also find that the more money you spend on a mask, the easier it is to breathe through. Either mask is a massive upgrade over a cloth mask that doesn't filter well, or a surgical mask that doesn't fit well and lets air in the sides.
Protect yourself and others with whatever strong mask works for you. These are so cheap that you can buy a box to try and just give them away if you don't like them.

It is not as simplistic as that. CBC's Marketplace had a UofT lab test fourteen different KN95 and KF94 masks available at Costco, Home Depot, Amazon and other retailers. The Medsup Canada KN95 masks were one of six brands that met or surpassed the standard.Cantthinkofaname wrote: ↑ Thanks for the explanation. I've been wondering.

Not a new poster, ThatdealGuy has been posting Costco West weekly updates for years now. I wouldn't place a lot of stock in the downvotes; when it was 19-14, the breakdown was as follows:

They are also wrapped individually, which makes them easier to keep in your car or bag.Loomy wrote: ↑ The N95 you bought costs more because it is a name brand with more features which you can trust because it is certified to perform well by NIOSH at the CDC.

See this thread for more info, but the MedSup KN95 (manufactured by Zhengzhou Wanshenshan Healthcare PPE Co.,Ltd) is on Canada's authorized medical devices list and CBC tested them as well.Loomy wrote: ↑ The N95 you bought costs more because it is a name brand with more features which you can trust because it is certified to perform well by NIOSH at the CDC.
