SIZE MATTERS!
Make sure you get a mask that fits right! They have instructions on their website for how to measure your face and select the proper size.<br /><br />Pros:<br />•Looks nice<br />•Soft<br />•Comfortable against skin<br />•Doesn’t dig into ears (if properly fitted)<br />•Doesn’t fog glasses (if metal nose piece is squeezed to fit the nose snugly)<br />•Comes in 4 sizes (I ordered medium+)<br /><br />Cons:<br />•Hot - my face sweats a lot while wearing this<br />•Hard to breath - forget talking because it uses too much air and fills the mask with hot air, which makes it difficult to breath, but if you breath slowly and don’t do any physical tasks that get your breathing up (like brisk walking or climbing stairs) then you should be fine (not for severe asthma or COPD patients!).<br />•Due to the material used for the straps, it seem like they might stretch out quickly over time, which could potentially cause the mask not to fit right.<br /><br />Reason for buying & full review:<br />I have been trying to get a mask since before covid started because I have medical issues that make me extremely susceptible to illness. I mainly wanted protection for when I go out in public. I’ve heard good things about VogMask from some of my friends who also have medical issues, so that’s why I chose this brand.<br /><br />Overall, this is a decent mask. It definitely looks nice and I hope they come out with even more prints and colors. If you get claustrophobic or have severe asthma, I don’t recommend you get this type because it can get hard to breath sometimes. The mask in the picture is also not the mask they sent me, instead I received one with black trim and black vents, which was a little disappointing. Their mistake with sending the wrong mask doesn’t impact the efficiency of the mask, of course, so I am going to keep it instead of sending it back because I am high risk and need some sort of protection. If I send it back, I’ll be without a mask and I’m not risking my life over the color of a mask.<br /><br />-Do I recommend this mask for people with medical issues?<br />Yes (depending on the issue). I feel this will give a lot of protection against illness, pollens, and other inhalants. I just wouldn’t recommend it for people with severe breathing issues.<br /><br />-Do I recommend this mask for use against covid?<br />Yes. It’s much better than using a plain cloth mask like the ones you can find on Etsy or made from a tshirt. But I think you should buy the VogMask without the filters instead because the valves on this mask don’t filter the air you exhale, which means while the mask may protect you, you could be spreading covid to others around you.<br /><br />***I also recommend buying the head strap if you have issue with masks pulling on your ears.***
