The Face Covering by Halo - non-medical grade

Halo Headband

I find these face coverings very comfortable and as I wear hearing aids they are very convenient to not snag the aids every time I remove the face cover.

The best mask so far.

This is the best mask for fit and comfort so far. And finally - no fogging of glasses!

Comfortable, clever, and well made - but sadly, a complete and abject failure

First the good: the fit and finish is outstanding. I LOVE: ~that it's secured behind the neck with easily adjustable tension ~that the nose piece is very thick gauge, and sturdy ~that the nose piece is secured with stitching on both sides, so it doesn't migrate ~the pattern is cut well to fit the nose/mouth/chin HOWEVER - the purpose of a mask is to protect both the wearer as well as the public at large from particulate matter - specifically airborne aerosolized fluids. With the bulk of the mask being made of single-ply highly perforated material, this mask is an abject failure in terms of protection. If one simply wanted a mask to *appear* compliant with store/local government policy, then yes - it fits the bill. But as an item of protection it is utterly useless. This could easily be resolved with the use of multiple layers of the very same fabric (4-5 at minimum - I tested this by folding the mask over multiple times to see when light is no longer visible through the holes), or fewer layers of a fabric with a much more dense weave. While it would admittedly make the mask slightly less breathable, the use of multiple layers/a tighter woven fabric would ensure that all holes are blocked and that a true barrier is in place. It would be relatively simple to adapt this mask to create one that is both comfortable, well made, and above all, protective. I truly hope that they do, as I'd gladly purchase some. After all, that's why we're wearing them in the first place.
