O2 Curve Anti-Pollution Reusable Mask

With normal cloth masks the issue is the feeling of breathlesness particularly if i physically exert myself.There is also the issue that the seal with the mask is not tight , so air from around the top can easily go in bypassing the mask.This sports mask uses a silicone piece which kind of acts like a gasket - creating a much better seal with the face. Also breathing is much easier in this because of the kind of cloth and technology used. ID mask is also pretty similar - just that it is much larger and this is smaller - so in a way more comfortable.And of course, its filtering capability is much superior to the cheaper ones in the market. This is a respirator and protects the wearer against airborne particles. very useful against droplet borne pathogens naturally. Its also very effective against aerosols as this filters even down to 0.1um.This information is covered on their canada faq page.

Inconspicuous this is not. My O2 curve is always the conversation starter in any room. Everyone asks about it. I also think it is probably the most effective mask in the Indian market. the electrostatic filter absorbs a ton of visible pollutants. Mine was yucky and black after 3 weeks of mostly indoor usage. Compared to my Vogmask, I'd say this feels twice as effective in filtering the air. In terms of comfort, it is a mixed bag. The silicon seal is a snug fit on your face, which is why this mask is more airtight than others. However, that also means you can always feel it on your face. It does alleviate fogging of spectacles to a large extent and the multiple strap adjustments do help in customising a fit beyond what anything else offers. I'd say this is worth it if you live in Delhi NCR where Covid-19 might come and go but the pollution will always come back every winter.EDIT - I bought the mask at Rs. 6,990. Feel ripped off looking at its price now, Rs. 2,590!EDIT 2 - The straps have started fraying and are difficult to operate.

Best in class but expensive mask. It takes a week to vet used to it but once you understand how to fit to your face it is very comfortable. All the pain on nose and back of the ear with conventional mask do not exist with this mask. The only concern is two small circular filters on bottom are not covered with disposable filter. Not sure how much virus can filter thru it. It is most expensive mask available now in india hence manufacturer should clarify this point in the literature on packaging. The second issue iscommin with all masks, perspiration although less compared to conventional mask causes discomfort when you wear it in hot weather or during jogging. I would rate this as a best mask in market with the concern on circular filers.

PROS:Zero glass fogging, Excellent Fit, highly breathable, perfect facial seal, no air leak (evidence is high black deposit on filter element which indicate everything going to your lung is through filter and not through facial sea), Your nose and lips are free without load( otherwise conventional mask irritates), perfect inhale and exhale, perfect for daily users who really uses mask in long continuous use ..... and may moreCONS:Cost but it’s question of affordability with its. Long use and Benifits,moisture near silicon seal but that prooves no air leak resulting internal condensation ( can be resolved by putting a single rolled layer of facial tissue inside periphery of silicon to absorb few moisture droplets).Additional remarks: Sports strap and separate adoptor for putting surgical mask extra layer over O2 mask is not available in India. But medical personnel who needs these adopters can get directly from USA at price 0.50$. Hope amazon will also launch this in India.

Misleading advertising.VERY difficult to breathe wearing it.Puts so much pressure on chest when breathing, that it can’t even be worn for 5 minutes at a go.Cannot even think of doing any activity wearing it.Amazon should take action on such product being on their reputable platformThe Product is promoted as “.... highly breathable filters. High flow rate for easy breathing during physically demanding activity..... like Exercising & Sports“I gave it to 5 other people to try it just to confirm if they also feel that it is impossible to use it for more than 5 minutes. No one was comfortable using it at all.I feel amazon should not be allowing such misleading and exorbitantly priced money making products to be sold on their platform.Putting this review so that no one else feel looted the same way as the product is non-returnable and the money is gone down the drain.

The mask almost does protect from dust and pollution. Almost.1) However sometimes i noticed some dust particles coming in and irritating my nostrils. I investigated and found that the two outlet vents are not so outlet. They let the air in too sometimes.2) Second is about the straps. The hard silicone earloops In the beginning will make You will feel your ears getting chopped off. And it may not stop there. You may start to experience a migrane because of the pressure behind your ears and neck.3) I used an Indian made product a few years ago and that was less costly, did its job well, and came with 5 filters in the pack. That products name is "Vyaan purifier" If anyone is interested.I purchased this o2 mask instead of vyaan again because I wanted silicone gasket this time instead of rubber provided with Vyaan mask. It got a cut near the chin while using it regularly for nearly 1 and a half year.I hope my review may be useful for some.Thanks

Best product,best quality and excellent product to use but the only drawback is at seal areas of mask,it is sweating .
