    How often are you changing masks? N95s aren’t cheap, I imagine this would get a bit pricy.

      In the US they’re a lot cheaper now than they used to be. You can pick up 3M Aurora N95 masks for about $1/ea in store in many areas. Still not nearly as cheap as surgical masks, but also clearly better than surgical masks.

      Once you have to start importing them, the price seems to rapidly increase.

      I’m mostly using Moldex 2600. I’d use them for a week or two, but I don’t go out every day and I don’t wear them for hours on end. If I were going to the office 9-5 I’d probably change them weekly. They’re very robust and have structural protection in front.
