Hello, according to a CDC article:
Use of a cleanable face shield is strongly preferred to a surgical mask to reduce N95 respirator contamination. Concerns have been raised that supplies of surgical masks may also be in limited supply during a public health emergency and that the use of a surgical mask could affect the function of the N95 respirator.

Hope this helps!
Please note that the only N95 we currently have in stock is the 8210:
