Anyone order a mask they really like? Any cycling companies making masks?

Anyone order a mask they really like? Looking for recommendations for cloth/wear to the grocery store type of mask? Looking for recommendations for both adults and kids.

I saw champion systems are making masks. Any other cycling (or cycling adjacent) companies making masks that you know of?

I know Eliel and Ornot were both offering consumer-grade masks.

Even better if the companies offer a buy 1, give 1 type situation.

Kitsbow is making them, though looking at their website it looks like they are sold out

I got some from Andrew the Maker and I should be receiving some from Ellum bags today. Will give a review when those come in. They do not make them for kids...

Question

My sense is tie-behind-the-head masks might be more comfortable than around-the-ear if we must wear these for months or longer.

Thoughts and ideas?

Per their website, Eliel will be matching all mask purchased with a mask donation to our local health care providers. If nothing else, the masks have provided entertainment as my SO was laughing since the masks made her think of banana hammocks.

not exactly masks but

I've been using these things. They cover my face pretty well. No less effective than than a cloth mask so far as I can tell.

Plus they're colorful.

I've been wearing my Walz mask for over a week now, most comfortable one I've found. I do not wear it riding, however,

I have been using surgical masks at work along with gowns and bouffants (We synthesize DNA and make positive controls for COVID-19) and we all hate the tie around the head ones and prefer the ear loops, much more comfortable-but these are disposable surgical types, and your mileage may vary with a cloth one.

Anecdotally, everyone is complaining of being warmer than usual, even if just typing at their desk and it seems to be the mask causing this, I would not want to ride much with one on.

I use my woodworking N95 masks, but I love Rothera caps and they blasted out an email that they're making masks – https://rotheracycling.com ... oh crap, they're all sold out now. I'm assuming they'll do a re-up hopefully sooner than later.

I got a couple of Orucase ones, they are pretty nice. Also per mask sold they will give 20 away to medical professionals.
