The Face Mask Store

More hospitals have declared critical incidents as they battle against rising flu cases, which have risen by 63% in the last week. The UK Health Security Agency is warning people that it's the last chance to get vaccinated against flu before Christmas. @NityaGRajan reports.

I'm glad that the black Project 3 Trident FFP3 masks have the potential to work for many people and I'd like to see Project 3 thrive for giving people the less medical looking, high performance masks they've been clamoring for. That being said, the strap tension on the Project 3 masks is very high, too high for many people in spite of there being an "extended straps" option for the regular/large size. So, I would still like to see @3M make the black Aura tri-fold that we've all been asking for for *years*. But even if they did, I don't feel that 3M could resist printing "3M" in giant, contrasting letters all over the mask, which would defeat the reason people want a black Aura, which is to look nicer and not industrial or medical in appearance. That is where @FaceMaskStore and @TridentSafety1's Project 3 stands out to me versus 3M. When the earlier version of the Project 3 masks were released a while ago they landed on the market with a thud, because they had bright white regulatory text across the middle panel, like having a mattress tag stuck to your face (I don't know if regulatory mattress tags are thing outside the US). They were so close to being the masks people wanted, but also so far. Project 3 misunderstood the assignment. So, Project 3 did what I think 3M would not - they listened to consumers and remade their masks. Project 3 followed suggestions that I and others made that if they had to print they regulatory text on the masks maybe they could make it less prominent and put it on the bottom panel. And that is what they did, and I hope they will find success in being responsive to critical, reasonable customer feedback. Perhaps some time in the future they will be able to provide strap tension options in sizes other then the regular size. And maybe find a way to get the regulatory text off of the middle panel of the extra small size, which still has it presumably because the there isn't enough room on the extra small bottom panel.
