Discreet nose filter is a bit uncomfortable to wear
This was awkward to get used to. I wanted to try these because where we live, we can have grass fires during the dry season and the smoke gets really bad. When forced to be outside, I thought this could be a good alternative to a mask as it doesn't get in the way of glasses and you don't need to wrap anything around your ears. There is what I would call a minty smell to the air you breathe in through the filter, not harsh at all but different and I didn't care much for it. The rate of air being taken in feels to be restricted so I wouldn't be doing heavy work while wearing it. After about an hour it just became too uncomfortable to continue to wear. I'm sure once allergy season comes around, I'll try these out again.<br /><br />It says to replace the filter daily, and that seems to be a pretty expensive option compared to the alternatives out there. I'd only use this on the occasion where you don't want to wear a face mask, but want the (semi) protection of one.
