Review on Get The Ultimate Protection With PURIAN Face Mask - Comfortable And Stylish Black Dust Mask With Tie Behind Head Straps And Cord Locks For Travel, Industrial Or Work - Pack Of 2 by Scott Clark

This is a couple layers of T shirt material with ties in back (which i like). The quick release allows you to make the elasticized straps tighter or looser and leave them set there, or pull the mask down when you're driving so you can free your face when you're in your car and pull it back up to do the next errand.I think it works better than a bandana and better than a lot of those 'fake medical' earloop masks that are like a piece of paper that is sitting in front of nose and mouth, not a real mask. Especially since people don't open up the accordion bits so it covers their whole lower faces and chins. If the mask doesn't seal, it isn't protecting you or anyone around you.This does seal, but it is too porous.So it's very convenient for quick errands or going to walk a dog. but when I'm going into the supermarket or somewhere I will be dealing with or around multiple people, I wear my old N95 mask under it.1) the N95 offers needed extra protection because, old as it is and crappy as it has begun to look, it still makes a nice firm seal. and I sanitize it, so it's clean and it hasn't made my face break out.2) if i wear the purian mask alone for any length of time, it fogs my glasses. This is not an issue walking outdoors in the neighborhood, but pretty much if I am indoors it fogs up b/c it is made of porous, breathable material and there's no metal nose piece to pinch down and close gaps, and no rubberized nose foam against my nose to create a seal. As a former first responder, I was used to wearing masks and also used them for remediating mold and doing woodwork.I'm used to wearing a mask for 6-8 hours over the course of a day (though before this mess started, usually *not* the same mask).**I don't wear a mask to 'look like' my face is covered, I wear it to protect me from the public *and* the public from me. **Plus: mask is comfy and easy to adjust. probably won't cause breakouts. washable.Minus: mask gives limited protection unless worn with a second mask that does the protecting.bottom line: I wish this had a pocket for a filter and a metal nose piece. but then, the truth is, I wish I had an N95 grade mask that was this comfortable.
