What do you think? …

I understand this is trendier and better for the environment than the classic paper mask, but I still feel that I'd look a lot like Bane (the villain from Batman) if I wore a mask.

@katesegrin Hi Kate, I understand your concern! Masks are still sometimes frowned upon in the street. But think back to what happened with sunglasses for example. They started off as a protection against sun light, but today I sometimes catch myself wearing them as a fashion item on a cloudy day. And I am probably not the only one ;)
Julian Lehr
@katesegrin Funny, "Looking like Bane" would actually be the one of the main reasons why I would buy this 😏😄
Ryan Hoover
@katesegrin I was thinking the same thing 😄

@lehrjulian @katesegrin +1 for a Darth Vader edition with included voice changer switch. Could really freak some people out with that claiming to be their fathers :-)

@johannesherr would you say this mask would work against playa dust at Burning Man?
Johannes Herrmann
@chrismessina @johannesherr Great use case Chris! The mask will definitely filter the dust at Burning Man!

@johannesherr what's your take on Playalung's masks? The design seems very similar...
Johannes Herrmann
@chrismessina we know most of the masks sold there. I couldn't get that type of masks to fit properly as they are always sliding down the neck. For Burning Man this is probably an option, but I wouldn't wear it in a city ;)
Chris Messina
@johannesherr fair. This is the mask I've used for Burning Man. It tends to pinch my nose and make it run, which sucks! I've backed Airinum with the hopes of replacing my Playa Masks!

I'm not the one to throw on a mask, to be honest. But in the winter time here in Boston, I'd definitely rock this for sure! Great design and very affordable! Nice!
Johannes Herrmann
@bryansarnold we actually use the mask here in Stockholm during the Winter! Definitely saves you from a freezing face!

@johannesherr @bryansarnold would be really cool to see a winter-specific version!

@shlomofellig @bryansarnold This is definitely on the product backlog!
