hi all! I am tetraplegic and drive my wheelchair with my chin. the medical grade facemasks I’ve tried over the last few years make it impossible to do this while wearing them properly. I have 2 cloth masks that can be worn while driving, but I know they don’t offer much protection, so I’m here to ask

  1. if detachable air filters even exist?
  2. whether they can be installed in a cloth mask

    So have you looked at using a N95 filter in a respirator?

    I don’t know if that’ll work for you, but they certainly stay in place much better than any mask, and there’s a wide variety of them that have the filter in various locations so maybe that’d be a better option?

    You look a little bit Fallout while wearing them, but they’re super comfortable for hours (because that’s how people who wear them use them), cheap to replace the filter when the time comes, and they seal spectacularly well and are easy to fit.
