PLEASE NO COMMENTS ON MASKS PRO OR CON.

I simply need a recommendation for a N95/KN95 mask that has larger/longer/adjustable straps. My fat head gets migraines when I wear a standard mask (pressure on the ears/back of head) and I will need to wear one for public meetings for the next couple of weeks at least.

What do you all suggest that is comfortable and adjustable? Add no, a Darth Vader mask is not acceptable — I know you guys. Someone was going to suggest one. LOL


THANKS!

I wear a N95 mask ... and I was not sure they came in sizes until I googled. None of mine have adjustable straps. I had some with older yellow elastic that got brittle and broke. I replaced with a woven elastic, that I hot glued on, that fit my head better and more comfortable.

What about splicing a piece of elastic into the existing straps?

Get an N100

Get a real respirator from 3M; they don’t cost that much… Or didn’t.

Far more comfortable and way more effective.

I have several from my hobbies using abrasives. If required to wear a mask, that’s what I’ll grab. Can’t even smell the odor of acetone through it.

For the amount of hassle involved, I think that would simply take the straps off of one mask and add it to the original N95.

I have also seen some folks that have, what looks like a commercial product that looks like a cheater. Similar in function to the cheater seatbelts that heavy folks will use in an airliner.

Aren't N100s usually respirators? Meaning the exhalation valve is not filtered, and provides no protection to others.

They sell various clips to add to masks to make them adjustable, might be the easier route to take.

Thx all. I ordered some clips from Amazon.
