Re: May I ask you to leave this as a comment on the main post?

I'll try and do a blog comment worthy run down this weekend, sure!

Re: legit transparent masks, I don't have much experience in this arena, though I've seen a few things here and there like this. I think the problem with those is always gonna be breathability, because you're giving up filtration area for the visible area, and rarely is it compensated by say, pleats elsewhere. And you gotta figure out how to counteract the fogging. My kingdom for an innovative manufacturer of consumer based elastomerics! So unfortunately I think if somebody wants true protection AND face visibility, you're gonna have to end up with a PAPR system like this or something like this, but they are so so expensive as you can see, and they do have the limitations of battery time and the noise made by the fan, and I'm not sure how audible it would be, though I feel like one SHOULD be able to rig up a bluetooth mic/speaker situation with a bit of creativity.

Sorry for replying here instead of on Mastodon on that topic, I just...popping up with "well I don't ACTUALLY know but here's the opinions in my head" when I know Mastodon has a lot of problems with people doing that to others from what I hear...but commenting here is nice and easy and we at least have a history of interaction so I'm not just some rando giving advice I don't really have but two people having a conversation.
