Questions & Answers

Does the mask itself have an inner layer of material behind it ?

Considering it is only a layer of material that is already thin, it is pretty thin. There are filters on it, which don't stay in place as well as I would like. Nevertheless, it is very comfortable and I have learned how to deal with it as it causes a little miniscule amount of frustration

I'd like more filters, where can I get them?

I'm lucky enough to be able to refill my pens at some of the grocery stores near me. On Amazon you can find some of these refills as well as second hand refills from Oregon.

Running mask that is excellent
5/5

Buying this mask made me feel more comfortable running outdoors for long distances. I have yet to figure out how to use other masks because When the mask becomes saturated with condensation, the glasses will fog up and you won't be able to breathe. There have been a variety of cloth masks and paper surgical masks I have tried to deal with these issues. However, in weather at or below 40 degrees, all other masks would become too wet for me to breathe through within 2 hours. The distance is about three I have found a solution to both my issues with this mask. Although the inside of the mask becomes damp when wet, it remains breathable due to its firm nose piece that prevents glasses from fogging up, as well as its ability to wick moisture away instead of absorbing it. The mask is excellent and I'm very happy with it. My long distance running group found it valuable, and I will recommend it to others.

The mask I like best - The liner is not needed
3/5

My favorite thing about this mask is its overall fit. When I breathe in, the fabric stays away from my mouth and nose just enough. They are comfortable to wear because of their adjustable ear straps. metal piece sewn into the top of the nose, which you can pinch to fit the head perfectly. Moreover, it washes well and dries quickly. Although the liner is not good, it's better than nothing. A sufficient amount of fabric on each side isn't enough for the liner to remain in place. It's easy to remove the liner if you have to pull off the mask at all. There are videos I have watched that explain how to install the liner. If I'm doing it correctly, I'm in the right place My only experience is that it always fails to stay in place, so I've never tried As soon as it's done, it goes into the garbage. The mask still works well for me even without the liner, and I think it still achieves what it's supposed to.

The wrong color was sent
4/5

Unfortunately, I am unable to give this mask five stars. I have the navy blue version, and it fits well and offers a good amount of The color I received this time was the wrong one. It is not pleasing to me at all! In my order, I ordered Haze, which is a lavender color. However, what I received was The mint green color isn't my favorite, but I will keep it anyway and order Haze later on.

Sports fans will find it easy to breathe with this air
5/5

The activities my son participates in require him to wear a mask. There are many masks that do a poor job of keeping moisture away or do not remain on for long. I will purchase more of these masks since these are the only ones he can wear for long periods without it hindering his breathing. Because it appears he will continue to wear these for several years, I will purchase more of them. If you have to wear a mask while exercising or being active, this would be a great product to have.

This is a great mask
5/5

The mask deserves a five-star rating - I highly recommend it. It has an adjustable ear strap that makes it very comfortable. Masks like this one are so comfortable I often forget I am wearing them. Masks made of cotton fabric are much softer than those made with this fabric. This is a great piece for keeping your glasses fog-free as it has a bendable/flexible ear piece. When you wear them, the tickets are free. You can also put inside one or more filters for additional protection if you want.

Masks that do not fog up my glasses are THE ONLY ones that I have found
5/5

The cloth makes it easy to clean the garment, but the way the inserts work makes it easy for them to fall out. At the very least, the nose wire prevents fog on my glasses, and at least it makes it easier to clean the garment.

What I expected was not what happened
3/5

The reason I ordered this is that I really liked a different OR mask that had been given to me as a gift. It came nowhere close to being as good as the other - It just felt like a cheap knockoff of some kind I think the OR standards are off, not worthy of the OR. Despite securing the noseclip with a rubber band, the filter did not stay in place, which caused the glasses to fog up. No matter how much I adjusted the ear bands, the headphones just wouldn't stay on. Will modify it when I get the chance.

The sunset (orange) means the salmon and filters need to My masks are Sunset (orange) and Salmon
4/5

I have 3 of them. I like them and own As long as you don't pull up or down on the mask, the filters stay in place, but they might get scrunched up if you do. Just holding the mask by the ear strings caused me to lose a few filters as well. I grabbed some bobby pins to pinch, but they don't seem to be helping much. A 4 out of 5 star rating.
