First run with the neck gaiter/face cover.
It was not as uncomfortable as I imagined it would be. Barely any breathing restriction, which of course means it isn’t filtering anything. It might make the outbreath more diffuse, but I feel like that might be bad thing if it’s turning larger droplets into smaller ones. It’s pretty easy to adjust, so I could have it on my chin unless/until I see a person and then I cover up until I’m past them (at most I see two or three people while running, and often see zero). The biggest downside is that even on a very short, easy test run it got pretty damp pretty quickly. And with my allergies my nose tends to run in the AM - not that bad this morning but if it was really going it would’ve been nasty. So this thing definitely needs to be washed between every use, which is a PITA. I made my kids some masks out of old tech shirts I have, I might try to fashion a few of those for myself so I can have a rotation.
