Review on Reusable Washable Breathable Balaclava Outdoor,Black Outdoor Recreation by Jeremiah Whiteley

Revainrating 3 out of 5

NOT essential enough to effectively protect against COVID

This CONCEPT is completely true. Comfortable, easy to put on and take off, worn around the neck when not in use, removed quickly and easily when needed. But anyone who thinks that a filter that barely reaches the corners of the mouth on either side is an effective filter to fight COVID is completely mistaken. I'm sure many people will wear this and feel like they're doing their due diligence. But most of the breath exits the sides of the filter through a stretch woven fabric that lets you see light and allows any virus a Mac truck can drive through to drive through. The filter should be 2 inches wider on each side and wrap around the center of the cheek on both sides to force the air THROUGH THE FILTER. Why can't any of these designers understand that? I'm going to sew my own "filter bag" and come up with a cotton filter hack. I understand that this was probably designed to keep out pollen and not virus intrusion, but it shouldn't be difficult to make small tweaks to suit that circumstance. If you buy it for outdoor activities and only want to filter out fine dust, it deserves a higher rating. I have included the Covid protection in my review.

Pros
  • Builds trust
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
