20SALE

Usual price is $80, half price sale brings it down to $40 with and additional 20% off with code '20SALE' brings it down to $32. Delivery is free storewide.

Great price if you're in the market for some authentic designer Italian made face masks.

Sells for around $70-$80 elsewhere.

These masks are not medical devices or personal protective equipment and are not a substitute for following the relevant social distancing guidelines. These are non-surgical masks made from 100% woven cotton which are washable at 40 degrees.

Made in Italy from two layers of densely woven cotton for comfort and breathability, this three pack of reusable face coverings feature the classic 'Signature Stripe' and 'Artist Stripe' prints.

These face coverings come complete with a third layer of fabric internally to allow insertion of a filter, and are finished with a nose clip and elastic ear loops with a soft rubber adjuster for a better fit and comfort behind the ears.

    Genuine question:
    Are "covid requirements" filters available for these types of mask?
    I've only been using the blue masks from the chemist until now but looking for something longer lasting / washable as they're saying we might be wearing these until Christmas now. (Qld)

    the filters don't really work as these don't seal against your face. the masks are to protect others from your droplets. you'd need like those hazmat masks if you want actual protection for yourself.

      Exactly, the inhaled air will always take the path of least resistance, which will primarily be around the PM2.5 filter, not through it.

          Why would you comment something with such conviction when you clearly don't have any basic understanding of fluid dynamics.

          When you wear a mask, air that you exhale will hit the mask and change direction, drastically reducing the velocity of the air, and hence, how far droplets will travel.

          • MisterEd on 07/08/2021 - 13:06

            @p1 ama: actually, you've said exactly what he's said…. if air is hitting the mask and shifting direction, that's the path of least resistance. Air going through the mask is the path of higher resistance.

            So spaceflight isn't technically wrong.

            Why would you make such an idiotic comment with so much conviction that demonstrates you have no idea about fluid dynamics?

            It doesn't even have anything to do with fluid dynamics.
            In very simple terms 2 electrical pathways in the same circuit will both see a flow of electricity. However the part of the circuit with lower resistance will have more electricity flow through it compared to the part with higher resistance

            When you wear a mask, air that you exhale will hit the mask and change direction

            That's because it hits the mask, which has high resistance, and changes direction to travel out the gaps of the mask where there is less resistance.
            Why do you think glasses fog up when worn with a medical mask? Because the air passes though the gap between the mask and your face as it's lower resistance then air passing through the mask.

            Air takes the path of least resistance, you can't change that no matter how stupid you are.

            Why do you think rivers flow the way they do?
            Rocks in the way, that's hard so the water flows along the soil.
            A hill, that's a lot of resistance to go up so the water flows around it.

            Why do you think some N95 masks have a 1 way valve? Because breathing and exhaling through them is difficult.
            The 1 way valve provides a path of lower resistance to make exhaling easier (which is why you should never use them for medical purposes because it provides a 'jet' of your exhaled air)

                Sounds like you wasted your money if you can't understand something so simple.

                Everything takes the path of least resistance: water, electricity, air, everything.

                Wolves probably evolved into domesticated dogs because it was easier to scavenge on human trash than track down prey.

                You're taking the path of least resistance because you can't be bothered learning something new as it's easier to hold onto your old incorrect belief.

                  @idonotknowwhy: Wow, from that, you seriously took that electricity doesn't follow the path of least resistance? Some current will flow through the "more difficult" path, more will flow through the "least difficult" path. Look up ohms law, you can see exactly how much will flow through each depending on resistance.

                  What spaceflight has said is 100% in conjunction with the CDC, and all other tests about masks. Poor fitting masks are ineffective, as everything just goes out the sides, eg "the path of least resistance". The tighter the fit, the more "resistance" there is to the air going around the edges, the more effective the mask.

                  Those telling him he is incorrect are, ironically, "ignoring the science", and going against every study on mask efficacy.

                      It does though, as proven by ohms law. More of it will go where resistance is lower. Same as with water, air, everything. Heck, bubbles are spheres because they have the lowest surface area.

      I think it’s important we start realising that protecting others is not less important than protecting yourself. Soon, once restrictions ease and vaccination rates are up, many of us will catch it without realising. Wearing a face mask like this when you sit on a bus or go to the shops will then be a great benefit to others, if you happen to carry the virus without knowing you have it.

        Except a solid stream of fluid isn't the same as tiny droplets carrying virus particles. One hits the fabric and runs down, the other goes through the space between the fibres. That's why they have ratings for masks, and why they don't use cloth masks for surgery, or working in hazardous environments.

        • Musing Outloud on 09/08/2021 - 14:14

          I am an engineer who used to work with carcinogenic dusts (asbestos being just one of several), and confined spaces. I fully understand particle ratings of masks and filters.

          Whatever you do individually with your own mask can assist and the better the mask, the more protection you get, but you can still catch Covid through droplets on your eyes or your own mask's leaks due to poor fit or bypass. In public, you are heavily reliant on others proper selection and use of their masks, more so than your own mask. There are no government mandated Covid mask standards, and unlikely to be either. Hospital Covid settings and PPE are a different beast again which I won't cover). However, even a poor mask significantly reduces (And yes, does not eliminate the risk) of both droplets and aerosols. And if you are a male, if you didn't shave today, your N95 mask won't seal on your face. So both yours and others behaviours in public have as big an impact over and above masks.

          So the "Swiss cheese model" meme, that has also done the rounds, equally applies too: https://www.reddit.com/r/Coronavirus/comments/jaa89w/the_swi…

          It is the suite of preventative actions and testing that stops infection and spread, and not just masks alone that are important.

        You must be very careful with how you treat your wallets. I find the edges all start to peel and crack and the stitching frays. My friend said he had the same problems with his too. Had 1 with the signature pattern, 1 with bike and 1 with the car. All bought from DJs. Had to throw each out after about 3 years of usage each. Now switched to Bally and Bottega and I think the leather quality is so much better. After about 5 years of use they still look new.
