Yesterday, I was upset to learn that at some point in the last five months Masklab (Wayback link) decided not to sell masks anymore. They were the brand that fit me the best and they came in so many colors and patterns they made wearing a mask feel a little less dire.
Here's the stats for comparison:
- Made in Hong Kong in an ISO-certified Class 7 clean room
- Highest surgical mask standard ASTM F2100 Level 3 certified by STC:Test Report
- PFE>99.9%, BFE>99.9%
- EU PPE Standard EN149 FFP2:Test Report
- Printed with non-toxic, azo-free dyes certified by STC:Test Report
- High breathability
- Fluid resistant up to 160mmHg
- Individually-wrapped
- Size: 190mm x 85mm
The good news is that other companies also make this style of mask. So does anyone have recommendations for PPF2/KF94 Korean-style respirators? I'd love it if they came in fun colors, but it's more important that they're trustworthy and reasonably priced.
The folks in r/Masks4All recommend Savewo (Family Masks in the US site), Breatheteq, WellBefore, and Vida as substitutes.
Anyone familiar with any of these?
Or just tell me what you're wearing these days.
