Face Masks and Breathing

[36654]

You can do the candle test with all your masks! If you cannot blow out a candle while wearing them, even when blowing as hard as you can it is likely working to stop the droplets.

Great stuff. I've got two different brands of re-usable masks. One brand is from a California underwear company (Thompson Tee's) that's two layers of tee-shirt jersey material. I'm pretty confident I could blow-out a candle with those masks. The second brand is from RKA luggage and uses the Kaiser Permanente Spec design. It's a pleated, double layer mask made from 65/35 twill cloth. Darn little is going thru that material. It also has a pocket for a hepa filter.
