Considering the proliferation of mask/face covering requirements, I thought we should start a thread about what you're using or buying for this need. Are you going the medical route? Construction style? Bandanna/scarf/buff style solution? What's your weapon of choice?

My girlfriend had bought a couple cloth ones before all this shit went down (the real question is wtf did she want with them when there was nothing going on ). However having not left the house in almost 2 months except to go for a drive and pick up some pizza twice, we haven't had any need to use them.

I use a face buff. I multi layer it around my nose and mouth.

When it gets real bad I'm going to wear the racing helmet to protect my face as well.

I swear to god walking back from the post office yesterday there was a guy wearing an adult diaper on his face.

So far I've been using bandannas, but I foresee having to wear something over my face so often I'm exploring more dedicated solutions that require less adjusting. I'll probably end up buying an assortment of coverings for different applications, like work, golf, etc.. This Kryptek version fought my eye today. I might pick up one of their buff-style things too.

I have a construction-style solution that I wouldn't seriously wear around in public. I bought it months ago for a renovation, but I made this picture my Microsoft Teams profile picture. Lol

I got a couple of these.

My welding mask kept auto darkening in the stores so I decided to go another route.

Homemade cloth one my wife and daughter sewed up for me. Elastic hair bands to keep it fitted snugly.

They also work well as Mortal Kombat / Shredder (from TMNT) costume masks if you get silver.

Wifey's aunt made up some pretty decent masks for us. The work well and fit nice. Who knows if they're doing any good. I wore mine today in Walmart just because. Maybe 35-40% of the people in Walmart had some sort of mask. Almost none of the Walmart employees wore them, which I found odd.

Son's mother-in-law sent me one she made: old Levi's, replaceable cloth insert, elastic bands from a fitted sheet. Her husband's a physician, so I assume it meets medical standards...

They are requiring them here if you are going into a store etc. My gf ordered some groceries to be delivered the other day right around the same time they started requiring the masks. She got a text from the delivery person saying they kicked him out of the store because he didn't have a mask.

My wife and youngest daughter made some Disney and Harry Potter themed ones. I stick with the black one

Hey, make sure you wash them after each use.

Or if you don't use them often, just let them sit for a few days. Today was the first time I used mine. I can't foresee using it again for a week or two.

The biggest problem with the ones Wifey's aunt made for us is that mine doesn't go down my neck far enough to get past my goatee. So I'm doubting the efficacy of a mask that doesn't come close to sealing. I worked in the asbestos abatement field for years and I know how important a good seal is. That said, the whole mask thing for the general public is more to catch outgoing coughs and sneezes than it is to prevent inhalation of contaminated air.

From everything I've heard/read from the doctors they are really just there in case YOU are infected you don't go sneezing and coughing on shit. Unless you have the n95 ones I don't think they do much for protecting you from any airborne stuff. Haven't read much on if this thing is even airborne, but I think the consensus so far is that it's unlikely you would catch it from the air.

So in that case I'm not sure how important a super tight seal would be.
