I bought several of these when they were 15. They are, by far, the best every day masks I've ever worn. The flexible nose metal works much better than other cloth masks, and while the inner filters are disposable, you can indeed wash them.

As a doctor, I have worn surgical masks every day for over a year to protect myself. My wife (who is also a doctor) has seen and examined more than a hundred patients with C19 in her nursing homes this past year, and has worn N95 and KN95 masks. Neither of us ever got infected (despite her being coughed on a number of times).

US hospitals have implemented isolation policies since the 1970's. Patients who are admitted with certain conditions are put on "droplet precautions" -- for diseases such as influenza, meningococcus, H flu, rhinovirus, adenovirus, pertussis, etc. Anyone entering the room of a patient on droplet precautions must wear a surgical mask.

The US faced large cultural barriers to mask wearing, which hasn't been helped by the political polarization. There's a reason that we are #1 in COVID cases and deaths by a large margin.

No one said to double mask using a KN95/N95 though.. if you have one or the other you don't need to double mask. They recommend that because people use home made cloth or surgical type masks which aren't effective at all. But I guess, go ahead.
Surgical masks are extremely effective. Cloth masks likely provide some benefit, but nothing close to surgical/kn95/n95. In this study of healthcare workers during flu season, you were 13x as likely to catch flu if you wore a cloth mask vs a surgical.

I would not recommend this type of mask. Cloth itself may not be very effective. And replacing filters would be expensive. You cant wash N95s in normal fashions (uses some electrostatic forces in the filtration process, which can be lost with washing). As such, I doubt that this filter can be washed and expected to retain its filtration capacity.

I would go with: 3 ply masks (seem pretty identical to the surgical masks used in hospitals) or KN95 for day to day, low risk exposures. If you want more protection (eg if taking a flight), go with an FDA approved KN95 mask or an N95.

$5.99 shipping? Any way to avoid that without spending $50 or going to the store?

Only face mask I will wear. These are breathable and great to wear with glasses with no fogging.

Agreed on this being one of the best masks out there. I was forced to fly towards the end of last year and wore this with the included filter and felt very comfortable on long flights.

Definitely recommend.

Surgical masks are for bodily fluids. Nothing else. They don't stop viruses.

That's stupid. At that point just buy a $1 cloth mask. No point in spending 5-10x on this.
These can be washed and reused. I bought different one for color combo.

I have been using this mask exclusively since mid-April 2020. Cannot recommend it enough. No ear pain, as it's adjustable. Also, you can talk and not worry about it moving all over the place. Rarely fogs up glasses/goggles. Almost never have to touch my mask for any reason other than an occasional itch.

All the positive responses are from new members and all the questions are from experienced members. I really need to know if these are worth it. Thanks

This mask is by far the most comfortable mask. I'm a videographer for a local dance company, and have worn this mask for 10+ hrs on long video productions and never had an issue with comfort nor gotten sick. For my wife and I, and close friends, this is our go to mask.

The long nose bridge wire creates a better seal prevent our glasses from fogging up.

I have bought several of these for myself and family members. I have used other masks, this is the best cloth mask I have found. Would recommend.

Highly recommend. I got these mid-last year and I just can't relate when people complain about masks anymore. Aside from exercise, I wear these and don't even notice it's still on.

If you catch COVID-19.
They'll grant you a full refund.
Only if you can prove you were wearing it at that time.

I wonder if these will be good enough to hold a N95 in place. I have a few N95s but the rubber band straps are really tight.
