Respro® Allergy Mask White - XL

Description

The Respro Allergy mask is a product that provides protection against sub-micron particulates. This product was developed for people with asthma and allergic issues. The Respro Allergy Mask was presented on "Good Morning" with " Dr Chris Steele", who quoted; "it works if your asthmatic, helps with house dust when hoovering, helps hayfever sufferers and the beauty of it, is that it filters out particles 1/3 of a micron in size and even keeps out cigarette smoke!". Review: Great Allergy Mask - These masks are great and really work in the most part. I live in a highly polluted area with lots of grass about and I have a bad allergy and no nose hair to filter out gunk. The good points: The velcro back makes it very easy to put on and once fitted round the nose it will stay put even when your bending over etc. They come with various kinds of filters, I have to use the one for small particle/allergy pollution. They do work better then anything I have yet to find. The bad points: They are rediculously expensive compared with the rest of the market. You can get replacement filters, parts etc but they are ALL TOO EXPENSIVE The metal piece over the nose will break in two after prolonged adjustment. I am sure there is a better system to this. Respro just say to not adjust it too much but that is impossible. The two dial pieces that fix the inner mask to the other mask can break as they are only held together with a little strip of plastic, so if your heavy handed you twist these off. I go through 2 of these each summer, as I wear one indoors for my dust mite allergy when doing the housework, and one outside for my allergies so it gets very expensive when the item doesn't last. One last thing, these don't protect your lungs against cold temperatures, but another one is available that does which from another company which has a felt outer layer and silk inner layer. It's called a Silk lined Cold Weather Mask of the I Can Breathe range.
