I’ve been getting 3M Aura 9205 from Home Depot at around $2.20/pc in boxes of 10. Expensive but I re-use them for a while, and fix them with a stapler if the rubber band snaps (that happens a lot). I’ve used various cheaper masks and not liked them as much.
I love the 3M Aura masks too, but have had issues with the elastic snapping too. That is, until I discovered that 3M makes the same mask with braided elastics (9210+), which so far seems much more durable. I was able to get boxes of 20 of those for $30 (not including shipping, etc.) from Stauffer Safety.
Wow, thanks, I’ll look for those. I’ve only seen braided elastic bands stuck on with glue though, and that breaks loose as well. I fix those with a hot melt gun.

You’re welcome! The braided bands come stapled on this one! :)
