    How many layers exactly does ‘multi layer fabric’ mean? Two layers?

    • AssociatedSupersonic101 @ ASG The Store on 06/08/2021 - 22:37

      Hey Gunnar, two layers of fabrics, coated in a hydrophobic treatment - there is a video in the description that shows how the hydrophic treatment performs :)

          Hey jv, I can check with our team in Italy for the exact type of water repellant that is used if you like. Essentially it just makes it easy to breath without allowing water particles through.

    Can you provide any measurements on the face masks?
    And do these have a nose wire in them?

      Hey, these don't have a nose wire - but they do sit snugly on top of your nose (the lycra is stretchy enough to accommodate this)

      Dimensions (flat) - cover 140mm by 150mm

      Again, the material is very stretchy so it covers most sizes, and the straps can be folded for a tighter fit on smaller faces.

    Wearing one right now. These are my favourite mask and I have tried dozens of different styles. Very comfy. They tend to slip down over your nose fairly easily when you talk but other that they're great. Been wearing them 12 months and they wash well too. Very happy with my purchases.

  • ca6leguy on 07/08/2021 - 07:55

    Without the nose wire, it’s not going to provide you a good seal. Looks at the video on the website, you can see there is a gap on the side of the nose. It’s basically useless. Forget it if you are thinking of uses this to protect you from covid. But if you want to just wear one so that you don’t get fined, then go for it.

    • Fredorishi on 07/08/2021 - 09:20

      Show me a mask that doesn't have gaps. Unless it has a respirator, they all have gaps, otherwise how the heck do you breathe? They're not supposed to be 100% effective hence social distancing etc.

      • ca6leguy on 07/08/2021 - 11:03

        Any certified surgical mask will provide better seal than this piece of fashionable cloth. If you want even better seal, get a certified P95 or better.

        By the way, good luck with your social distancing.

            @Fredorishi: Ever wondered why these aren't on the list of approved PPT, or why the seller makes no claims wrt protection from tiny airborne particles? As ca6leguy says, they're fine for the avoiding a fine but if you live in an area where covid is active in the community then you'd be advised to look elsewhere.

            • AssociatedSupersonic101 @ ASG The Store on 07/08/2021 - 16:37

              @[Deactivated]: Hey Possumbly, you'll notice that none of the reusable face masks, even on Chemist warehouse or other pharmacies will not make direct claims regarding protection against diseases, as this would need TGA approval, which requires lots of testing +$$$.

              You will notice all claims will go something like this:

              From Chemist warehouse reusable face masks:

              Common Uses
              This mask contains 3 layers of protection against solid particles, droplets, smoke and ideal for outdoor use.

              Similarly, we do not make any claims regarding the prevention of diseases as there isn't any TGA backed approved claims. We can however confirm that the masks are effective at filtering water particles due to the hydrophobic treatment.

              Hope that helps :)

                @Supersonic101: Hey Supersonic - the reason no-one claims material based masks will give significant protection against aerosol transmission is that most don't, although some do a reasonable job and all are better than nothing if used properly. There are numerous tests and papers around detailing their efficacy if you're interested. EG: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2452199X2…, and a fair overall summary here: https://www.fast.ai/2020/06/26/particle-sizes/

                The TGA doesnt "approve" masks, it merely registers those claiming medical/therapeutic use. Recently it tested some masks to ensure that some of the OS junk doesn't remain on the register and hence mislead prospective buyers. Subsequently some registered masks were removed by TGA and others were voluntarily withdrawn by the sponsors.

                Water particles are nowhere near as small as the aerosol containing covid-19, hence the likelihood of yours being a reasonable substitute for quality medical masks is small. That said it's horses for courses - ie which mask is appropriate depends on the situation the wearer is faced with.

                Hope that helps.

                • Fredorishi on 07/08/2021 - 22:04

                  @[Deactivated]: The second article doesn't seem to say what you think it does. From the conclusion:

                  "Overall, there is evidence that simple cloth face masks will generally provide good protection to those around the wearer." Also:

                  "There are also some combinations of material and design which can provide good protection to the wearer as well."

                  So at the very least I'm offering others good protection and probably giving myself protection as well.

                  • [Deactivated] on 08/08/2021 - 00:39

                    @Fredorishi: Keep reading and stop cherry picking is my suggestion. There are numerous papers and summaries of what the science says about mask efficacy. Essentially, as I've already suggested above, protection is relative. IF you're a carrier (hopefully asymptomatic, otherwise you shouldn't be in the community) then these, and most cloth masks, are inadequate to protect others - hence the advice on almost every website that the type of mask required is dependent on the particular situation. For example if you were in a known hotspot then, while isolating, I'd hope you'd do more to protect your family and friends than donning a one of these. On the other hand if you're in a lockdown area but haven't been to an exposure hotspot ((or mixed with people who have) then you'd be relatively safe wearing one to the shops.

                    The risk is enhanced when someone with covid-19 (eg an "essential worker") moves around the community and refuses to wear a mask which offers REAL protection to others. On top of that unless you're disinfecting your cloth mask regularly then you're potentially messing with other people's lives.

                    In summary, as the risk increases so should the quality of the mask. Pretty much common sense but unfortunately as we known common sense isn't that common, and some people simply don't care.

                        @Fredorishi: I have nothing at all against the quote, even if it is clearly out of context. That article was a broad look at masks and made no attempt to address particular circumstances. which I've explained in my comment above. Others, which you've either ignored or don't know about, go into far more depth about aerosol transmission and control.

                        Feel free to point out pedantry any time, I'm all ears. If it's pedantic to point out facts about masks you clearly don't understand then so be it. While on that point - since you seem to have a predilection for putting words into others' mouths let me make it patently clear for you: it was your initial comment which prompted our responses, not any claim the seller of this product made. These masks have a place, as I've already said twice now.

                        By all means follow what Health Depts advise, but don't kid yourself or your family that wearing a material mask is appropriate in all situations. In simple terms, there's good reason why health practitioners aren't using cloth masks. and why people in the community aren't walking around with face shieldsand disposable gloves. It's not rocket science.

                        As I said IF you're actually interested in what the data and science says about masks then there's a huge number of articles out there which explain tests, aerosol transmission etc. The rest is "common sense".

                                      @[Deactivated]: I wasn't unaware that some are better than others, but its cute that you think you have been educational. The assertion was that the the advertised masks are "basically useless". You've also said they offer no REAL protection yet the 2nd article you linked disagrees with that in the conclusion. The very wordy study you linked really doesn't seem to say that either although I admit I may have missed it because TL;DR. You had no real comeback to the fact the Health department says its ok to wear cloth masks. So yeah, you've waffled on about data and numbers and told me to keep reading, when according to the health department and your article, these masks are ok and offer SOME protection. You talk about common sense yet seem to expect that people either just take your word for it from your long winded posts or read a whole bunch of articles and data because, you know, obviously the health department advice isn't good enough. Maybe try something like the below article next time you're trying to prove a point. Because really, you're pretty bad at it. It still says cloth masks can be ok, but provides a more direct comparison to surgical masks that meet the standards and talks about masks for different situations as you have done. I'm not interested in "a huge number of articles" but this is a fairly easy read and from a local, reputable source. And no crap about rubber bands and paper clips. I'll stick with my comfy masks for every day use at work where I'm mostly by myself or can easily social distance, but will go with the surgical variety for trips to the supermarket etc..Cheers..

                                        @Fredorishi: I actually didn't say these masks offer no REAL protection at all. I did however suggest that they aren't appropriate in particular circumstances. I also said quite clearly that you should follow Health Dept guidelines, although it's always helpful to know the background to their recommendations. They have enough problems getting compliancy with mask wearing without having to mandate what level of mask is appropriate for different situations.

                                        Unlike you I've read lab tests on cloth masks and plenty of summaries about mask efficacy so I'm very aware that many material masks do offer SOME protection - provided of course they're kept sanitised as I said. I recently bought some myself. Their use is circumstance dependent - and we certainly won't be using ours if C19 is in our community. They'll be kept for use during precautionary mandated mask times. Out of interest - what % of cloth masks do you think will actually be regularly and properly sterilised - esp given there are plenty of people in the community who couldn't give a fig about covid or others?

                                        Material masks have undoubtedly helped to improve compliance and encouraged some people to wear them in low risk situations when they might have gone maskless, so they definitely have a place in the mitigation of incidental transmission.

                                        The problem with quasi-knowledge and general advice (even some on health authority websites, although if you delve deeper you'll usually find more detailed info) is that it leads to complacency. The sort of lax attitude that might say for example "I've always worn a cloth mask so it's okay to wear one if I'm diagnosed with C19 and venture out into the community". Complete BS. Okay for the wearer maybe, certainly not for others. Reminds me of the appalling ad starring the maskless Nick Coatsworth. He utters the throw away line that "We're not safe until we're all safe", suggesting that vaccination is a silver bullet. More misleading bs from individuals who should know better.

                                        I can understand that you're not particularly interested in searching for articles on masks but as I've already said, don't kid yourself that these are appropriate in all situations (seems you've already arrived at the same conclusion). And if you actually get C19 please don't be the type who is prepared to gamble with other people's lives by not upgrading to something more appropriate. Reading between the lines I'm confident you aren't.
