What is Reddit's opinion of AstroAI Face Mask Reusable Dust Mask with Filters,Adjustable for Woodworking, Construction, Outdoor (Black, 1 Mask + 6 Extra Activated Carbon Filters Included)?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

There are also around-the-head things you can wear over a mash or certain N-95's/KN-95's that, when worn correctly, form a strong enough seal around your nose/mouth so that like 99% of your breath goes out through the mask, and glasses/goggles won't fog up. They have bendable metal things for your nose, and a pack of little sticky, soft foam strips that you can apply to the inside to fill in any gaps and keep your mask tightly sealed.

This is similar to what I have. I also bought the activate charcoal filters, they're r95 rated (because i used it for woodworking and work with some other-than-wood particles). N95 is usually plenty of protection and I believe is what's recommended for every day use during the pandemic by the CDC. But any filter is better than no filter

There are biking masks, they have a valve that lets the air out unfiltered, and they close up when you breathe in. Since we're trying to contain our own droplets, the valves just dump your exhaust.

I’ll be honest Im not 100% sure of the effectiveness but I JUST bought this Tuesday and it came on my doorstep yesterday. Comfortable and came with extra filters!

Edit- goes around the head and it does have ear loops but they are not noticeable https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B084TJDDL1?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

AstroAI Reusable Dust Face Mask... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084TJDDL1?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

This is a very common issue. Disposable seem to be the easiest for most people to use but personally I bought this mask and it's been the most comfortable/breathable one I've used yet. My therapist also sent me this article which full disclosure I haven't gotten around to reading yet, but I trust my therapist to be giving me quality information.

What you quoted is talking about things like this:

They are really old so a new one might do the trick. A full face one would probably be a bit overkill. Is the n95 style something like this? https://www.amazon.com/AstroAI-Reusable-Dust-Face-Filters/dp/B084TJDDL1/ref=sr_1_20?dchild=1&keywords=n95+dust+mask&qid=1609369122&sr=8-20

No filter. They call those two pieces "Filter valves" in Chinglish, but they're just rubber flap valves that bypass the filter, there's no filter material inside them. Everyone proclaims that it's very easy to breath through.

The cloth has no resistance whatsoever, you can see through it clearly. They mount replaceable surgical-mask-looking filters inside for dust protection. But each of those filters, as well as the mask, has those two cut holes to mount the valves in. The outside of the valves clamps the cloth and filter together when you align all the holes.

I'm using this, a lot more comfortable than the stupid blue surgical's

I use this N99 mask for woodworking. It closes your nostrils and therefore no fogging. But it might be a bit overkill.

I bought similar ones to the ones, they don't go around my ears. only the back of my neck.

No just the dust masks not rated for anything beyond dust.

To your credit I think there is a lot of misunderstanding and confusion about masks.

I wear one of these: https://smile.amazon.co.uk/dp/B084TJDDL1
