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
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.

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.
