I looked at that mask but I’m worried about the fit; if air gets in through the side then it’s P0 (0%), not P100 (100%).
Could you compare it to this mask? It looks like the fit is better. and I know it says “dust mask”, but that’s probably because it’s amazon; if you look up “covid mask” on amazon, you get cloth masks, and no other mask on amazon states that it is meant for covid. I checked, and there should be research confirming that covid droplets are a specific size.
I used to use the same mask that Zvi’s friend recommends, but switched to 3M’s model 7502 respirator with model 7093 P100 filters. The mask I use is made of silicone and because of that is more comfortable for extended wear and easier to securely fit. The filter cartridges are less visually obtrusive than the pink ‘pancake’ filters and last longer before clogging (more of a concern for construction work than general covid wear).
I don’t have first-hand experience with the GVS Elipse series, but the most compact model looks easier to fit a surgical mask over, should you go somewhere that enforces that bit of theater.

It’s a bit of trouble, but it’s probably worth it since covid causes permanent brain damage and incurable sleep deprivation
