PDX Respirator Repository

Amanda Abbott created a spreadsheet with a lot of data on 60+ different elastomerics. There is no standardization as each manufacturer has their own sizing charts. So if you are looking for a new mask or looking to upgrade your PPE, there's now information on measurements.

There are even information on whether or you can create 3D-printed covers for the filters and paint the mask(s) to remain stylish during the creeping apocalypse.

If you live in or near Portland, Oregon, you can also contact Amanda for test-fits since she has most of the models. The only way to know if something is COVID-safe is to try the masks on, but they are non-returnable.

If you have long hair and own or are thinking of buying a flo mask, do yourself a favour and get the halo strap. It's so much more secure and comfortable, I wish I'd bought mine right off the bat

[softgrungeprophet]

my original plan was for tj's costume to look kind of power rangery once he finally gets one but to actually protect him against the specific things he needs protection from i think that will probably not end up being true lol

As my brilliant wife pointed out above, we got our whole setup for less than $100 (prices fluctuate quite a bit but the prices tend to be in that ballpark - we were lucky) for the both of us, including:

- two half-face base pieces in small (they have S, M, L sizes - 6100, 6200, 6300) which are infinitely reusable as long as you periodically clean them and don't like, destroy the straps or something. Usually $20ish each but currently on sale for $12.99!

https://a.co/d/9uYIL3K

- 6 pack of exhalation valve filters (admittedly the most expensive part, but they last a good while before needing replacement - just be VERY CAREFUL not to grab / jostle the exhalation filter too much bc it's held on by two VERY fragile plastic clips 😅 ask me how I know) we got our initial set for like $35ish on Amazon IIRC but they keep getting more expensive on Amazon specifically 😅 I would recommend looking at other vendors or going off-brand (but compatible, obviously) on the exhalation valve filters (reminder, those are to protect OTHERS - the main filters described below protect YOU)

https://a.co/d/aGaUKUF

- a pack of 6 (3 pairs) of P100 filters. Now, we got these direct from 3M for the first round, but they were a tad expensive. We recently got a 40-pack (20 pairs!) of compatible NIOSH 2097 filters which are P100-grade with an additional activated carbon layer that blocks a LOT of nuisance odors. My wife wears hers to scoop litter, for example. Available on Amazon for $43 at the time of posting, or roughly $2.15 per pair. Change them out once they start to get harder to breath through or get gross - we usually change them about once a month for our usage rate but your mileage WILL vary.

https://a.co/d/5KvYP2m

Assuming you can find exhalation valves cheaper elsewhere or budget is tight and you have to skip the exhalation filters for now and just worry about protecting yourself / your household, you can get set up for less than $100ish per person, and that price lowers as you can share the cost of bulk filters with more people obvs. And these things last! So long! If you're buying disposable / semi-reusable N95s or whatever, they might be cheaper up front for a box, but not by very much and the half-face with replaceable filters is WAY cheaper to use over time.

And that's not even to speak of fitment and comfort!

Before switching to these, I had a really hard time getting a proper seal around my larger, hooked nose with any of the various N95s we tried, which was very stressful as well as obviously unsafe. But these!!!! I wear the small size, and between the little nose bump section and the give in the material, it is VERY easy for me to get a complete seal, and it doesn't even hurt my nose! Since there's both a wide over-head harness and a strap that clips around your neck, the weight is distributed very well and I can comfortably wear it for an outing lasting several hours. Speaking of, y'know how gross the inside of cloth masks/respirators get when you breath out or are unlucky enough to sneeze? The way these sit on your face, there's a pretty solid like inch gap between your face and the interior surfaces of the respirator. Condensation will naturally still collect, but it won't touch your face, and is very easy to wipe up and sanitize when you get home!

Obviously YMMV, but I HIGHLY recommend this route if you can take it. If you're not sure but are interested, start by just getting the face shield part so you can do fit checks and see if it's comfortable and you can get a good seal.

How to test your seal:

1) temporarily remove the inhalation and exhalation filters, if present

2) first, use your palms to create a firm seal around both of the holes the inhalation filters mount to and try to take a deep breath. If you have a proper seal, you should not be able to breathe any air in, since you're blocking the only two viable paths of ingress (the exhalation area has a one-way valve, so air can only *leave* through that hole)

3) correspondingly, use one palm to block the exhalation area and try to breath out - you shouldn't be able to!

If you are able to get a proper seal while also being comfortable (sometimes it takes some fiddling with how much tension is in the upper vs lower strap), then all you need is a box of filters and you're set! We like to use the exhalation valves, but especially at the current price for 1st party 3m ones on Amazon right now, I know those can be cost-prohibitive for some people. Even without them, you're massively improving your own safety, and therefore decreasing the odds of you transmitting *any* airborne illnesses to the people and/or pets you live with.

Stay safe out there!

Hi! Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what do you know about reusable covid-safe masks? I've never stopped wearing the fabric masks, but I'd like to step up my protection. I'm also just worried about all the trash single-use masks will produce -- I want to be environmentally responsible too -- but a lot of mask resources don't seem to specify much on reusability/washability. I'd be really grateful for anything you can send my way.

First off, reusable filters don't offer enough protection. You need at least n95 rated material, and washing it breaks it down and removes its electrostatic charge, rendering it less protective. There's no 100% earthy-crunchy green way to give yourself adequate covid protection. What elastomeric masks do, however, is reduce the amount of waste in reducing filter size. This also brings the cost of filters down in most cases. Some companies exist that recycle masks too, but I only have links Canadian examples and I don't know where you are.

There's a lot of elastomeric masks out there. 3M has over 3 dozen n95 or p100 models to choose from. There's even forced-air options if you wanna go for the absolute best protection, but in all but the highest risk and research covid scenarios, it's major overkill.

Because I don't know you or your measurements, I can't tell you what mask will 100% fit you. Personally, my everyday wear is a big-nose model Flo Mask, and for high risk scenarios, I break out my MSA Advantage 300. There's dozens of models and levels of protection out there ranging from full face, forced air respirators to the thong-like B99 B2 that only barely covers my mouth and nose. The zero covid reddit might be a great place to ask people for recommendations based upon your concerns with fitting an elastomeric to your specific face type: low/high bridge, shallow/chubby cheeks, and chin size all impact which elastomeric is likely to get and keep a good seal in use. You might have to buy 2 or 3 before you find *the one* is a problem you may encounter, but of all the elastomerics I've seen, Flo Mask has the best general fit and would be a good starting point.

Basically, even disposable masks will prevent you using even more resources and plastics and such by keeping you healthy and out of the hospital. Someone who uses and throws away 2 or 4 masks every couple weeks (depending on your specific needs, could be a little more if you like sweat at work a lot or something) is far less impact than a ICU stay for covid. Also, you could help prevent covid *and* offset everyone's mask waste by eliminating Taylor Swift since she flies two private jets to all her events which spread more covid than any other superspreader event. (For legal reasons, I am joking)

I'm really alarmed at how many people I still see wearing cloth masks in photos etc and this just confirms it. Cloth masks do not do much of anything, yall! They don't form a seal on your face and they don't filter out virus. Please wear a respirator!

what type of mask/respirator do u wear (as a general rule/on a daily basis, not counting especially high-risk situations like medical settings/airports/etc)
