Comfortable
I bought this because I’m required to wear a mask all day and was wearing normal surgical masks but wanted to be able to breathe easier and not “rebreathe” as much. The problem is, this mask is made of soft, gauzy cheesecloth fabric, and if you are not actively moving (running, walking) the air actually gets trapped MORE and it is hotter and harder to breathe than a surgical mask. I can see that if I was more active, like if my job required more walking, this would probably be fine, or if I had a fan blowing on my face there would be no issue at all. On a plane with the fan on your face this would probably be the most comfortable mask experience as the mask is really really soft.<br />So I really wanted to make it work so I modified it myself with my sewing machine. I removed all “bunching” of the gauzy fabric in an effort to make it easier for the air to flow. It helped matters but still didn’t solve the issue and the surgical mask is still cooler.<br />I think this might be solved by using a stiffer linen material, one that holds its form a bit better.<br />Anyway those are my two cents. This is otherwise a really comfortable mask.
