I ordered the everyday mask from proper cloth. I m male but I ordered the size small because my nose-to-chin measurement is 6 .

Pros:
-Excellent seal to face (prevents safety glasses from fogging while conducting lab work, and most air is passing through the filter)

-stiff center seam keeps fabric off of my mouth even while inhaling

-Over head straps prevent back of ear irritation -Fabric is comfortable and stylish

-Filter pocket keeps filter secure and away from my face -Nose bridge remains securely in place, even while talking for long durations during presentations

Trade offs:

-in order to keep fabric away from my mouth, the mask sticks out from my face farther than most I ve tried

-As a result of the good seal to face and multiple fabric layers the mask does trap some heat and moisture, but only over long durations

I ve tried this mask against disposable surgical masks, outdoor research s mask, athleta s cloth masks, and the Figs mask. This mask is my #1 choice out of the group for long durations and crowded areas. It is the only mask I ve found that creates a secure, respirator-like seal to my face while still maintaining enough comfort to not be distracting. I would recommend this mask to anyone spending extended periods of time around others where social distancing may not always be possible.
