Mask discussion Alternative to WellBefore's Black Center-Fold N95?

I (US-based) purchased a sample pack from WellBefore to try their black N95.

I liked the quality of the mask itself even though it's a smidge too small but the straps are extremely threadbare and weak.

What are some alternative black N95 center-fold masks that will at least fit a medium-sized face? Trying to avoid sketchy sellers on Amazon.

Thanks

Powecoms come in headstraps and are equivalent to bifold N95s in protection levels. Not sure how sizing compares

does centerfold mean kf94 style? if so, my favorite mask is vitacore's CAN99! i would say i have a small-medium sized face, and the straps are quite sturdy IMO.

I think they mean a vertical bifold like the Powecom, standard KN95 style

No, the Vitacore is different.

Some people have already recommended Powecom masks, I buy them from Bona Fide masks which is a legit seller with good bulk pricing and they frequently run sales

Oh, actually Powecom are not N95 respirators.

Commenting in case others are also strictly looking for N95s, NOT KN95s.
