Elastomeric half-face respirators with suitable filters are more comfortable than N95 masks, and if used and maintained correctly are probably more effective:

I wear a 3M 6800 or depending on situation (I now consider hospital visits high risk)a Cleanspace PAPR (surprisingly, so far, not all that intimidating to people around me)

Even as someone who is very much “over it all”, I’d argue it depends very much on your individual risk profile.

If I felt I needed to wear a PAPR, I would. Who cares what others think about it?
