Face Mask Reviews
yes, I purchased all of these.
Copper Life
This mask has now risen above Athleta after some additional use by both masks. It has all of the same features as the Athleta mask, but edgges it out because if fits more consistently over my nose. Athleta does edge out the mask in terms of cost and the colors available in the pack, but this one does not look too shabby itself
Airinum
I purchased this at the beginning of the pandemic, and was on back order until August
All the reviews point to this being the best one on the market. It's expensive as heck.
I originally tried to buy this one in Japan, at a MOMA Design store, in early Feb, and they said that the size was too small for me and took it to the back. Looking back I think that they just wanted it for themselves. I think about this sometimes.
N95 filters are included, but replacements are expensive
All ratings on this item are assumptions, but it costs a lot, so it has to be good, right? Right?
Athleta
This mask just arrived, but has quickly risen to be arguable my go-to mask. The price is great, it includes various colors, has adjustable ear straps, a nose wire, and is very breathable. There is not much more we can ask for out of a mask because it is an innanimate object so we cannot be friends with it.
7/06 Update: This does not stay on my nose as easily as I would have liked, thus the demotion to the 4th best mask (due to Cotopaxti edging it out)
Banana Republic
Very comfortable and breathable. washable with adjustable over-the-ear straps and are made with a multi-layer design.
Adjustable wire at the nose for a comfortable, secure fit. Internal pocket for inserts. Right now they are my top choice! Looks good! 3-pack, multiple colors. Can apply coupons of 10-15% off. Currently avaialbe in-store
Keene
Nice looking, but they lack a nose wire and do not tightly close around the nose providing inadequate protection and fogging of classes. Canvas cotton material is somewhat stiff and does not breath well The ear adjustments are adequate. Rating 3.25 on REI’s site. (bonus REI members get a rebate of ~ 10%), no shipping if picked up from store

Almost impossible to breath in, so much that I threw it away rather than give it to someone. I know I should have not done this, but no one would want to wear this. Like why would I have though a jean company would have a good mask? You cannot even find the link on their website anymore, probably because it sucks so much
