In the past, I have always used disposable masks when doing building work or in other situations where there is a lot of dust but this reusable mask may be better for long-term use. Certainly, cyclists, Antifa followers and others may also prefer the stylish design of this new £12.99 mask from Cycorld together with the convenience of replaceable filters.
The mask arrived attractively packaged in a windowed display box clearly targeted more at the general or health conscious user rather than the building trade. In the box was the mask itself together with four filters each sealed in a separate bag.
The mask is made from a bamboo, nylon and spandex mix which leaves it soft and pliable and moulds easily to the contours of the face. It two plastic air intakes either side to which the filter is attached. It has multiple holes for exhalation and these are designed to route the breath away from glasses or goggles to prevent misting. There is a rubberised reinforcing strap to hold the mask against the bridge of the nose and passing over the ears, a velcro strap to support in place the mask behind the head. The filters, of which four are supplied with the mask, are soft and pliable and made from layers of fabric, cotton, activated charcoal sandwiched together.
The filter is attached my releasing the two mask air intakes, inserting the filter into the mask so the holes line up and then replacing and screwing in place the air intakes. According to the manufacturer, the filter can remove up to 99.7% of particulate pollution. Once in place, the mask is surprisingly comfortable but I would not wish to wear it for prolonged periods.
This mask seems well made and robust enough for long-term use and looking quickly online I see that replacement filters are freely available at around £1.50 each or less depending on how many are bought. With that in mind, I would say this would be perfect for those regularly in a situation where dust or fumes are a problem. Also, it would make the perfect gifty for the Antifa person in your life.
