Been wearing my paint mask (new organic & pleat filters) for a while now. Mainly in stores where I'll spent sometime & typically more crowded. I want something that protects me from Them, not them from Me.
Has to be better then the now "fashionable" (logos, pics, sayings) fabric wraps out there.


About all you're doing is protecting them from you. Unless those filters are N95 or whatever medical spec is considered effective, you are reducing your odds but nothing approaching zero. Even N95 doesn't do that.

Well Better then those pleated cloth ill-fitting rubber-band held junk. You think because it says N95, that's the best average folk can use. N95 masks are really nothing special, that's why many medical people now need the shields. A filter meant for organic vapors and/or insecticides GOTTA be better then an N95 or dopey bandanas.
