Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to some common questions about the Breathe99 Mask.

Will the Breathe99 mask fog my glasses?

No, currently we have one adult size. If you need a different size mask.

Is the Breathe99 Mask FDA or NIOSH-certified?

How breathable is the Breathe99 Mask?

The mask is very breathable for a respirator or face mask. However, it will not be as comfortable as wearing no mask at all. The mask exceeds the recommended breathing resistance required by NIOSH for Filtering Facepiece Respirators. Light breathing (walking, desk work, driving) through the Breathe99 Mask will feel easier than heavy breathing (long flights of stairs, hard labor).
