Mask Review

The newest and most noticeable change this school year is the masks. It is required to wear a mask all day. Breathing hot air from 8:00-2:00 is challenging, so having the most comfortable mask available is crucial. With everyone wearing school uniforms, different masks allow for a change around campus. Masks seen at Lamar range from disposable to N-95’s. To see what is the best mask to wear, I asked students around campus for their opinion. Check out the gallery to see pictures of each!

Gator: 

Loose and breathable. There seems to be more airflow through the mask. Only complaint: get a gator that fits correctly. If it is too loose, it will fall down. 

N-95: 

These are the safest masks. Because of this, they are very thick and harder to breathe through. 

Silk:

 “They are breathable and it doesn't even feel like I have it on. They are machine washable.”- Lily Collins 

Disposable:

 “I always keep them in my car. Better than a cloth mask to breath through and they come in a pack of like 50.” - Isabel Price 

Cloth masks:

“My glasses fog up some. It has a wire clip but then it traps my oxygen. Makeup gets all over the reverse side. It came in a three pack from Gap.” - Mrs. Ransier 

Face Shields: 

Easiest to breath through. You can see through super easy and it’s just like glasses.
