Face Masks and Breathing

[Lee]

Not sure how many of you saw todays information on the tests completed on 14 different types of masks. 13 were better than no mask to some varying degrees from 95% effective for the N95 on down. One mask being used by many is actually worse then no mask and that is the fleece neck gator some of us wear when riding. These gators actually break up the larger droplets and emit many more smaller droplets.

When you say fleece do you mean like a winter neck gator.? That would be hot wearing this time of year. One example is polartec.

That sounds like the think fuzzy material I call polartec.
The different neck gators we wear on the motorcycles are a thin material like silk but man-made.
This thin material is not as good as a multi layer cloth mask but like I mentioned about our trip it worked as a backup in case I forgot to grab a cloth mask when getting off the bike.
