Update on the #Prescientx #BreatheMask #Breathe2 issue: customer service got back to me very quickly and are sending a replacement because they have a 1-year warranty.

Still annoyed because 7 months is really short and it's the mask that was worn the most (maximum an hour or two per week; we don't get out much), but hey, at least we're going to have another 7 months' worth (or more, hopefully 🤞 ) of use. I'm hoping this was just a faulty one-off because a lot of other people seem to have no issues with theirs, but I'm putting it out there just in case.

My two #Prescientx Breath #masks arrived!

A few observations:

-Comfortable, very easy to breathe through.

-The Gen 2 mask appears to just be the Gen 1 mask plus a conversion kit. I'm not sure if this is their long term plan, but I ordered one of each and got two full Gen 1 masks plus parts to upgrade one of them.

-I am confident this is a better fit than my old Can99e masks, but also the better seal makes me acutely aware of the gaps.

Not only does my #PrescientX mask prevent me from contracting or spreading airborne viruses, it’s also super effective at keeping my nose toasty warm when I’m out on a 20 min errand on foot through minus 27/minus 38 windchill. Unlike N95s or scarves, it also catches all the condensation so my face isn’t dripping with moisture. I don’t know why everyone in #Ottawa doesn’t have one of these today.
