Mask Recommendations?

[NannyBeBe]

I highly recommend the disposable masks made by Armbrust. Their website is armbrustusa.com. These masks are made in Texas and have an ASTM Level 3 certification. They are also working on making N95 masks.
As to cloth masks, I found the Old Navy masks with adjustable straps to be the best and the easiest to breathe with.

I have spent so much on mask.. my favorite are the schoolmaskpack masks from crayola. Brim to under chin nose metal and adjustable ear loops.

On your recommendation, I went to their site. Sounded good. I purchased a 5 pack, XL (big guy here). Price was reasonable, delivery was excellent. Masks seem great. Using a NEW10 discount code saves $10.

Thanks much for posting.

I bought some masks that were made of a sort of t-shirt material that I thought would absorb sweat better, but when I wore one it was awful. Clung to my face and got dripping wet and I could not get a deep breath. I have other masks that are two layers of cotton and they are much better for breathing. I wear glasses all the time and found that Fog Gone spray from Optix 55 keeps my glasses from fogging up very well.

Procedure masks have been the least worrisome for me. Although I recently received a Tieks as a complimentary gift. They are practical and fairly comfortable with a good close fit.

I am so glad you liked them! They are the only ones I use. I bought some new solid color ones and gonna put some heat transfers in the corner (disney style) for my upcoming trip.

I have a new favorite for a lower-budget powered filter mask. I was sent a mask called Ultramasx UltraOne, and love the thing. It wasn't like a sponsorship, another company is outfitting their entire staff with them and the attachment for the silicone seal for larger faces turns out to be a little problematic. The company wanted to pay me to design and print 40 new attachment bezels (a little plastic trip that the seal attaches to). It turns out that about 10 inches of 'silicone rescue tape' will make a fabulous, easy cheap and nearly permanent fix. The guy I was dealing with was shocked I was willing to tell him how to fix it instead of take the business, so I just asked if I could keep the mask.

I love this thing. Except for having to run a strip of self-adhering silicone tape around the outer edge where the face-seal attaches I have zero bad to say. The filter is HEPA rated and the powered fan keeps fresh dry air against my face. Never any steaming of my glasses. It's light and the fan is quiet. It also filters the exiting air and is officially recognized by at least one airline. Also... it kinda makes you look like a StormTrooper or Darth Vader with the black one. I liked it so much I ordered a second one.

Yeah, it's $90. The replacement filters are available and cost $5 ea. That's about what a single real N95 costs and the HEPA cartridge will last a week with heavy daily use and a month with average use. The economy doesn't hold a candle to my CleanSpace2 mask but it's a lot better than buying N95 filters. and it's a lot lighter on the face.

Our favorite masks by far are from Athleta. My daughter wears hers through hours of dance each day. They're the most comfortable ones we have tried!

For quick grocery store runs, I wear fabric masks.

When I had to travel, I wore a k95. Even though I prefer to be greener and not use many disposable products, I liked the k95. I liked that it had a bit of a “beak” and didn’t sit on my nose. It was good for long term wear and what I will wear when I return to the classroom.

Which "these" do you mean? We've worn the disposable paper masks on three visits to WDW now since November and found them the most comfortable in all kinds of weather (although obviously, nothing is as comfortable as "no mask"). I've also tried Disney's fabric masks (two different kinds) and found them more difficult to breathe in, so I stopped using them.

"these" I meant the ones referenced in this thread.

Yes, many are.
