      I'm currently in Perth, Australia. We do not have restrictions or a mandatory mask policy as we haven't had a community case for 9 months and counting. However, I'm moving back to Singapore next month, where they have a mandatory mask policy going about unless you're eating, exercising etc..

      Just wondering if anyone have any advice on how you adapted to wearing a mask and if you have any mask brand recommendations? I'm looking towards fabric ones, preferably something comfortable. The ones that have the blue and white ones makes breathing a little uncomfortable for me. Also, something that might fit well with glasses..

        Not much mask wearing here either, but one thing I can tell you is the with glasses you need something with a snug fit/seal at the top, over the nose. The medical masks have a metal strip that does the job well (when used properly). Lack of a seal will have your glasses fogging up regularly.

          If N-95 or some good KN-95 are available in your area, they're much better than cloth masks (which were great when we didn't have anything else).

            The guys at Obbigoodlabel sent me a pair of the ones they made just so I have my own when I get to the airport. now that you mentioned it, when I tried it, it does fog up a little compared to the normal blue and white ones they give at the apple store with the wire nose clip..

            Are those the ones with the little square filters? are they single use only? I heard that they were the creme de la creme of masks. I was looking for something that I don't really have to replace..

            not sure if anyone watches f1. but I do like the ones they wear after they race when the helmet comes off. the fit looks perfect too.

              U-Masks? Division Road (an IH retailer) has some without the F1 branding.

                ahh okay. I thought they were just similar. didn't realise that F1 uses that brand as well! thanks!

                      I might just order straight from their EU website. the product (red) ones scream out to me, amongst a few other red/ burgundy ones

                          Been partial to these for form and function. My personal preference, is i hate ear loops. I prefer tie on masks. Once you’re used to it, its not as cumbersome as you might first think. Plus they have leather fastners now, didnt when i got mine. Anyways heres my submission for masks.

                              I like these, from Birdwell Beach Britches.  They're filter compatible and can be worn either around the ears or over the head.

                                I really like the look of the U-Mask. I wonder if it would fit my big fat head. I got a Runabout Goods mask a few months ago and it was comically small on me and felt like it offered zero protection.

                                I've been wearing an N95 mask out in public for a while now though with a surgical mask over that sometimes because I'm growing increasingly paranoid.

                                I've half seriously considered ordering one of those 3M full face masks to wear in the grocery store here because of the hateful anti masker sentiment in Arizona. I'm losing my mind.

                                  they look like you need a phd in knots and loops before you wear them..  😛 😛

                                        FYI – been using these for a bit. San Francisco brand called Ben Davis that's v popular in the Bay (and elsewhere). Pack of three for $30 in either the black that I have or – wait for it – hickory stripe! I dig tf outta them and don't wear anything else now. MUSA af, too.
