Why are there still people with cloth masks out there?

Also, I've been looking to upgrade my masks. I'm using a kn95 right now (I think the same kind Obiden is using in the comm banner). People on this comm have talked well of the 3M Aura but I don't like the elastic straps that go over your head; I have long hair. Is there anything you guys use that's more hearty than a kn but you either have it around your ears or (for long term) tie a bow behind your head?

    The elastomer straps on the 9205 are trash. The 9210 uses cloth-elastic straps that are much more durable and comfortable. It ends up being way cheaper than the 9205 because the straps don't break so you can reuse it more.

      Good to know about the 9210, but they're almost 3 times more expensive on amazon. May look at buying some of those clothe elastic strips and fixing my 9205s up.
