REVIEW. I stayed inside the first couple of days to avoid smoke from the fires back in Nov. 2018. By day three, I realized I needed a longer-term solution. Now, in February 2020, it is the Corona Virus, Covid 19.
I find the 3M disposable masks very uncomfortable. They don’t fit well unless you keep the straps really tight to get a good air seal. Uncomfortable. Not washable. More landfill.
So, I went online and looked around for something that was more comfortable and washable, while still maintaining N95-99 efficacy.
