Innovative new mask
I've been wearing masks daily for years due to allergies, and most inexpensive masks have just a few basic designs. This is a new one for me! I just wish I liked it more.<br />A few things first: The sizing is based on your ear-to-ear measurement. I got a size large, and it's a little big on my face, but there's not much extra space on the ears, so I doubt the size medium would fit. I do feel like the fit is a bit too big which maybe makes it not seal as well. They would do better to make the ear straps longer, since they're adjustable, and base the sizes on the face.<br /><br />I do like the mask! It's quite thick but fluffy, so it keeps its shape well (doesn't collapse in when you breathe) and doesn't feel heavy. It does get hotter than other masks, though, and the breathable material on the inner lining can be a bit scratchy if you have facial hair.<br /><br />The filter itself? Maybe just doesn't work as well for my purposes. I'm allergic to perfumes/air fresheners, etc, so if I can still smell it with the mask on, then I can tell whether it's working or not. This mask performed pretty much on average with the standard cotton masks. I'll still wear it outside in hopes that the fancy wool filter is better at catching pollen/smoke, but it's not great for my indoor allergies.
