Caraa Tailored and Sport Face Masks

Ever since we have been wearing masks, Caraa and Vida have been our go to companies. As this pandemic drags on, so do the styles and wearability of non disposable face wear. Since we are in the “at risk” age group, we always wear a mask whenever we go outside - which us primarily for morning walks. Caraa’s first masks looked like disposable surgical masks - only made of cloth, had a nose wire, a pocket for a filter, and lately ear adjustments. Now, there are tailored masks and sport masks. One is a thicker material with a vertical wire that keeps the mask away from your face, also has a filter, and a wire nose piece. The sport mask has a different sort of material and is supposed to reduce the sweat element. When they arrived last week they were sorted based on color - my husband is picky about being completely neutral. Caraa does have a great color selection. They also have the little plastic pieces that can be put on the string to adjust the ear fit - in case you have masks that don’t have that feature. But, they didn’t provide an adapter to get it on the strings. Anyway, we have tried both masks and they do fit very well - almost too well when the filter is used. We now have enough masks to last about two weeks. When we come home they go in to the mesh bags by the washer and dryer and the filters are removed on wash day to be used about eight times each. Hopefully these new masks will wash well and we have enough now to last for awhile. I know this isn’t going to go away any time soon.
