Is this more (or less) comfortable than cloth masks? I support any/all masks but my inclination is to focus on whatever we can get people to adopt. I doubt I’m doing what I can, including tweeting #Masks4All once per day https://twitter.com/thatMikeBishop/status/1246501797512056834
Besides, buying these sorts of masks new should be left to healthcare workers or (“essential” workers) and those that most need them. The rest of us should wear cloth masks.
Healthcare workers workers use disposeable masks. Reuseable one’s like the above are a good solution for people who can use masks that are not certified for healthcare use.

I would consider them about the same. I’ve worn mine for ~5 hours at a time with minimal discomfort.
I have one, and it’s far less comfortable.

Exactly, though we should aim to change that since protection would be improved while logistic demands would fall.
Also we should try to get governments to stimulate large scale production of such masks. See my original post.
This highly depends on mask quality and fit. A well fiting high quality oneshould be about as comfortable as a cloth mask.
