Any good masks?

I seem to like the ones that loop behind the ears. Have used bandanas (OK) paper material ones from dentists offices that I did work in, some ski masks (hot now) and have ordered a camo buff from Hong Kong that is in transit now for three weeks.... Might pay up for one of the Montauk Tackle buffs.

Any good leads?

Hong Kong crap like my water shoes that never came, so many ads that look really good and exactly what you need and then it isn’t made.

Nothing seems to work well for me, can’t use the behind ears - there’s already hearing aids there.. the behind neck and over head is problematic with hat on, hat keeps slipping off because of no haircut for two freaken months, then I get pissed, rip it off and send the hearing aids flying off or hanging out of my ears... Grrrrrrrr

mask and hearing aids

Guppy I also wear hearing aids and went to a friends house to give him a couple of N95 masks. I normally wear the paper style but that day I used a N95, goggles, head covering as kind of a joke as my friend is horrified of the virus. When I removed the mask I realized one of my hearing aids was gone! Panic time! It landed on my shoulder and fell to the ground,and I saw it fall. Now I don't remove the mask until I am inside the car so at least if it falls it will be inside the car. As you well know they are quite expensive

Will something like these better protect the hearing aids?

Make an “S” hook out of wire and put the straps on that behind your head. Another thing I’ve seen people doing is to see a couple of buttons on a piece of material to use behind your head the same way.

I bought some on amazon that were total crap...made in china...didnt research...my own fault!

Got some a friend gave me that were Kimberly clark procedure mask 47117 they are the easiest to wear that I have tried so far. Easiest to breath in...if you have that claustrophobic" miniature prison on your face" issue like myself....LOL! seriously they are pretty good on allowing air to flow through and well fitted to face so glasses fogging is minimal...to none. If I dont work the shaping around the nose well when putting on I get a little fogging but once I adjust its gone. If you can find them I highly suggest these as they have been the most comfortable, easiest to wear and least fog free I've tried so far....and thats saying alot because the mandatory mask thing had me in the most panic so far......

Simplify.......

Get the best you can find and wear them. Nothing is perfect.
Just like gun safety, the application will never save your life. But it could save others, known or not.
All lives count.
Do the best you can, for yourself and your fellow Americans.
