Ordered this mainly for the ability to breath easier than with the toxic, suffocating masks. Also the silver was an added benefit. The usual "cloth type" masks are extremely uncomfortable and difficult to breath. They make my face feel like it's on fire. Was hoping to eliminate this with the Breasy mask. This was not the case. Although it is slightly more comfortable than cloth masks, it still heats up my face, making it difficult to wear for more than several minutes.
