Solution Mask by Virtue Code Fabric Face Masks

This is well-made and fits my face really comfortably, helped by the adjustable straps. With a 2.5 ppm filter inserted, it's a little restrictive on one's breathing.

I've had this type of face mask before as I get really bad hay fever and I know this filters out 99.9% of that dreaded pollen. It fits my face reasonably well and helps prevent my reading glasses steaming up a little bit more than other face masks I've tried. It's not possible to completely eliminate the steaming up issue with this particular mask. There is a bendy wire at the top so you can fit the mask fairly close to the bridge of your nose but there will always be slight gaps caused by movement of the face when you talk etc.This item arrived beautifully packaged. The seal on the box was intact which is very reassuring in these times of Covid-19. Inside the box was a plastic wallet and inside this, the product itself. So all very well wrapped.These masks can get a little warm in summer as there are three layers plus a filter.This mask is made from cotton so it's a nice fabric to have near your skin and is reasonably comfortable.The mask can be adjusted to fit over the ears with sliding 'toggles' on elastic loops so there's no danger of it becoming loose and sliding off or being too tight and cutting off your blood supply.It's nicely stitched and washes well.The product even comes with some sort of paper guarantee written in Chinese!Over-all, I'm very pleased with the product.

I suspect that most people who purchase this mask do so primarily for its styling. In that regard, it's an honest sale. I will also concede that, as these things go, the quality is not the worst I've seen. It appears to be reasonably well made. But £18 for this is daylight robbery - it's a small, thin piece of cloth to which has been attached two equally low-budget pieces of elastic. No more, no less. To be fair, I thought that it would likely be so and I went ahead and purchased anyway but given that the item I received only came with 1 set of filters and not the two advertised, I feel justified in venting.The fact that this product uses them didn't come into my purchasing decision. If you are considering purchasing this mask because it has filters, you should consider the following. Firstly, I am highly dubious that the filters supplied meet any kind of recognised standard, or that will they have been tested or verified to be PM 2.5 compliant. However even if I were to give the benefit of the doubt to the filter's own properties, the point is moot - no filter can be effective at PM2.5 if the construction of the mask that it's been used with is such that it doesn't form a proper, full seal with the user's face. This is a skimpy piece of cloth and a significant proportion of your tidal flow will simply bypass the filter and enter/exit via the sides of the "mask". In this regard, the "filter" aspect of this product offers you no more protection than a simple paper surgical mask and probably not much more than tying a handkerchief around your face. Do not part with £18 just for "PM 2.5 filters" in the case of this product.In summary, I bought solely since the UK government announced it would be a requirement for shopping, because (to me) it is more aesthetically pleasing in use than a paper mask, and because I think the performance isn't significantly worse than that of the cheap, untested paper masks which are the alternative. But £18 for this sits unwell with me, it's unashamed racketeering.

These masks are great. I have tried several different types but these ones tick the most boxes. They have: - multiple layers, - a pocket for adding carbon filter papers, - adjustable ear straps, - a nose wire, - a shaped bit to fit properly under your chin.They wash really well and I don't perceive any shrinkage. I've got more than one and washed them several times now. I put them in the washing machine at 40 degrees and high spin speed, but I do wash them inside a protective net bag.I've been helping out at weekend flu clinics which is why I wanted high quality masks and I can report that I wear them in complete comfort for over 4 hours. I can also report that despite wearing one in lashing rain, it coped well although I did swap it after a couple of hours for a dry one.I find the fit is really good, sitting well against all parts of my face. Each mask comes with 2 filter papers but Amazon sell extras quite cheaply.These masks might be a bit more expensive than others but I think they are well worth it.

Good face masks but a tad overpriced.

Given the current climate and the need to buy a face covering (mask) there is a large choice available....It takes awhile to read multiple reviews, search for a suitable type and then make a choice based on never seeing the product or knowing how it will fit.This mask was delivered quickly (same day - thanks amazon) and came very nicely boxed.It fits, it isn't uncomfortable and i am wearing it daily. Comes complete with spare filters also so this is a great choice. Especially for anyone that isn't sure which one to buy (for fear of ordering the wrong thing).two weeks in and no issues, still fits perfectly, no issues with the fabric or its use.I cant recommend this mask enough, it is brilliant...... its up to you to buy it :-)

I chose this mask based on the style as it looks great on the photos. When it arrived, it looked great in person too. It came with a set of filters, which I tried, but soon took out as the mask itself is very padded.The mask for me was quite large (I've since found children's ones fit me better), it did shrink when I put it through the washer, however for me, it was still on the large side.I've only worn this a few times now, as it's just too padded, I find my face sweats when wearing it for too long. It's a shame really as it's a lovely mask.
