Just what the doctor ordered
I HATE having to wear a mask. But if this is how things are going to be for a while I wanted to find the most comfortable and well-designed mask out there. After considering the available options I ordered a Buttonsmith mask. The mask arrived in the mail today (a day earlier than expected!). As soon as I opened the package I was sure I made the right choice. The fabric is extremely breathable and soft against my face.<br /><br />The adjustable straps  are cleverly designed and extremely handy. They allow the use of ear loops (which are the most secure way  to keep the mask in position), but there is also a strap that allows the mask to hang around the neck if you need to take it off of your face for a few minutes.<br /><br />At $15 apiece these masks are far from inexpensive, but they are nowhere near the most expensive option. This is certainly not the time for me to skimp on a quality. These mass are worth every penny. I would have bought a few of these masks if they weren't quite so expensive. Having actually received the mask I may go ahead and order another anyway.<br /><br />My only other issue with the mask is the color. For these first several months of the pandemic I realize that the number one priority was to get masks onto everyone's faces, and that the most efficient way to do that was to produce just the one color. But now it looks like we're all going to be wearing masks for quite a while, At some point it would be nice to have a choice of colors (especially some light colors which would be even cooler still in the summer).<br /><br />Aside from these few minor issues I recommend that you spend a bit of extra money and buy the Buttonsmith masks with the adjustable straps. They're just what the doctor ordered.
