    Default Masks. Does anybody ne wear them for allergies?

    This time of the year I get hay fever.
    So I have to wear a mask.
    Just purchased an RZ mask damn easy to breath on too

    I also get bad hay-fever, but I cant wear masks for long periods of time due to my asthma and claustrophobia. I once cleaned out a hoarders house and was struggling wearing a carbon mask, so had to take regular breaks to help me breath properly.

    This was just his lounge room and what we filled after 6hrs.
    Really felt bad for the old guy, but the house was disgusting,

    I have just started using the Wolfsnout. Best thing I have done. Can wear glasses with them, breathing is quite easy mostly unless you really need to get some deep ones in.
    Started to notice a big difference in how my nose/ and eyes are at the end of a day compared to using other dust masks.
    Have 2, probably buy another 2 soon.

    What are the RZ ones like?

    Wet bandana making a cowboy mask, works a treat and keeps you cool no fog up issues

    Yep that is what I used out in the bush, bloody red dust, bandana was always bloody dirty, but it got rinsed out at each job and as Macka said it kept you cool, if I did not need it to mow it was around the back of my neck to help keep me cool.
