Airhole Daily Basic Pleated Mask Black
Times have changed and airhole has changed and used their facemask knowledge to create washable daily masks for protecting yourself and others. The Basic is Pleated and best suited for larger faces.
Airhole have been making ski and snowboard face mask for many years and in the current crisis have got rid of the classic airhole and used some of their special fabrics to create a 3 layer mask with nose bridge wire to help stop the spread of disease in daily life. These are not disposable but designed to be washed and re-used so come in a pack of 5 masks. Check the videos below to explain how the masks work. These are not designed to replace N95 PPE masks but are for daily use and more comfortable and practical than loads of disposable masks and with the three layer design they really stop vapour passing through the mask. Check the video at the bottom of this page that shows what a mask can do along with the "candle test" video from Airhole to show the effectiveness of these masks.
We have found in our own testing and use the Airhole Daily ERGO mask to be a better fit on smaller heads while this Daily Basic Pleated mask is better on larger faces.

Multiple layers of fabric means less chance that respiratory particles can pass through the mask. Thicker, denser fabrics do a better job than thinner, loosely woven or knit fabrics.
Trying to blow out a candle can illustrate how respiratory particles can travel through different types of mask fabrics. This video demonstrates how some fabrics work better than other to hinder respiratory air particles.
If you want to understand what a facemask does to help reduce the spread of particles and air then this video explains things quite well at the start and then gets more USA based
