Eliel
Got a bunch from Eliel - they were doing the +1 option too. Good local (SD) company. My in-laws who live out there (non cyclists) are ordering some too. Also am using their gaiters when I am out riding. 2 thumbs up, but strictly consumer/casual grade (i.e. at the store, on the bike etc.)

I think it depends on where you live and if you will be passing (or get passed) by other riders or joggers.

I've been using my HUK fishing gaitor and a plain surgical mask.
Gaitor is far better looking. |

Assos makes a neck warmer that covers the mouth and nose. It comes in 3 sizes. Overpriced.

If you are talking gaiters/buffs there is a company called SA that sells them online
They are pointed at fishing and outdoors so there is a lot of camo and “tactical” colors (dark solids) but they always have packages and promos I got an 8 pack a while back for about $30 shipped. They have held up well so far. BK

For the current and ex- bmxers, poor boy has some masks that look like the old Jofas or Oakley 'beak' style face protectors, not technically a mask but a buff style https://poorboysteev.bigcartel.com/

I’m confused, I have a few n95 masks leftover from woodworking projects. I have been using those but know they won’t last forever.
These mask suggestions, are they that grade of effectiveness? Some have pouches for filters but some seem to be jersey material. Are they effective? Also, if you have don’t have the ability to seal it to your face (most of these don’t have a bendable nose piece) how much will the masks help? I know there are other loud opinionated threads about mask effectiveness, I’m not talking about that. I guess I should ask “are there any masks out there that have a filter pouch and a bendable nose piece...made by cycling/outdoor companies?”

Following up on my own post. Most of the companies discussed here say that their masks are not “medical” and make no claims of protection. I’m looking for a mask with pouches for filter AND adjustable nose pieces.

The PM2.5 filters are difficult to find and will let through much larger particles. That having been said, I will probably switch to these as well for longer term use. I ordered four from etsy a while ago, along with a couple of dozen PM2.5 filters. Already got one set of the filters, haven't gotten the masks yet... I expect to be wearing these when things start to open up to our "new normal."

I’ve been doing that. The kind of n95 I have has a valve so my exhaled breath isn’t filtered so it doesn’t really help others.
I’m kind of planning for the long haul though. If this is something I’ll be wearing off/on, even minimally, over the next 12-18 months I’m going to need something more durable/comfortable than the few masks I have.
