How are people liking the Halo mask? I'm thinking about trying that one. Thanks.

Here’s my longish review on the halo mask. It was a 10/10 out of the box. It has these foam nose bridges that stick on that makes it extremely comfortable and not move around. But after washing it a few times they came off and now it rides down my face while talking so I don’t wear it that much now. Maybe I just need a bigger size but I’m not willing to pay $15 for an order of the nose bridges. I would recommend it just buy extra foam nose pieces.Originally Posted by Erik

Thanks very much.
Bump. Are the Halo masks still decent, or have folks found something better?

I ended up using and being happy with the Outdoor Research essential face mask, but it doesn’t look that different than the halo.

I picked up an Oakley mask for no other reason than I thought it looked cool and I like Oakleys.
Initial impressions are that their anti-fog approach seems to work and the semi-rigid structure keeps the material away from your nose and mouth, which makes it feel a little more comfortable if you're breathing heavy. Not sure how well it's going to work with regard to talking over long periods, as it definitely wants to keep a tight fit around your nose and jaw, and it might get a little tedious with your jaw having to move. But if you're having to wear a mask at the gym or something, this might be worth looking into.

I can vouch for this mask being rather sweaty this time of year. Just wore it to the Dr office, about the only place I wear a mask these days. Otherwise, I like it a lot. Great fit and adjustability.

I have the Halo and Outdoor Research both and I like the Halo better. For me, it's more comfortable and the anti-fogging works better. Plus the filter is a lot easier to install/change. The adhesive on the nose pads isn't as long lasting as I'd like, and that's my only real complaint. They've been running a lot of sales lately. Come to think of it, I may grab another as delta seems to be making mask mandates more prevalent again.
