Is that an actual product or a joke page? I can't imagine anyone actually wearing something like that.

I know it can be hard to believe, but it's very real (just like COVID). Maybe this quote from a recent customer helps explain:

> I'll look like a freak in the mask, but a LIVING freak. Thank you.

We sold over 1000 of them in our first week, not many returns. I've been wearing mine for months and get way more interest/thumbs-up than "looks".

We do get our fair share of internet trolls, though.

It reminds me of CodysLab's mask https://youtu.be/_iwxyzXcP7k

Instant virality too. I just shared with a friend cause it’s so novel.

It looks much less intimidating than my Honeywell North full facepiece respirator, which I've worn in public.
