I have barely used mine but if I go pick up food (which has been rare, 2x in a month and 2 weeks) I will put it on for that false security.

We got the Orucase ones
They are pretty comfortable - we made ours behind the head ( the ties can be tied either way). They have a pocket for an N95 filter but we have not been able to find them yet. BK

I tried a "tie behind the head" mask. It was OK sitting up. However, when I got on the bike and tilted my head up, the tension on the top tie went way up, mashing my nose flat. I lasted less than one block before I had to stop and remove it.

I posted this in the thread "are you still riding?" cool back story.

I got mine because I have to wear it food shopping or to go to the LBS. It's interesting to note people's perceptions of those both wearing masks and those choosing to go without.

If you are or were a rower you might know of Sew Sporty. They shifted production and have been making masks for a little while now...

I was all set to order a couple of these - I really like that they donate and they have a provision to add a filter, but they recently changed the design from elastic to straps you have to tie which would drive me nuts. Orucase said they may offer the elastic again at some point- hopefully. Also saw on IG Patagonia is working on a mask design-wasnt clear if those will come be available to consumers or first responders and hc workers only.

Interesting, I did not know that and I've used their gear since the early 90's. You learn something new everyday. W. |

Good to know, @palincss. Might have to have different types for different tasks. Thanks! |

Good luck with that. I'm thinking wearing a mask in public is going to be required for much of the summer.

I bought a tie-behind mask for just that reason, but I find that it doesn't stay put very well. I think I may sew on some elastic for the ears (and cut off the ties).

I've been using basic ones that take an insert ( I don't aways use) that are the elastic type and adjust.
An interesting thing....I just got back from a ride and a woman was parked in town on the side of the road with her van's back hatch open selling ones she had made. I didn't stop because I had no cash on me. What a world. Last edited by charliedid; 04-23-2020 at 04:14 PM. |
