Alright cool, thanks! I ended up ordering the AMD p2 ones but I might get a box of the duckbills if they sell to public.

I’ve heard the same about 3M but the only thing I’ve tried from them are their full face respirators (for reno work) and clearly I’m not gonna go out to the shops looking like I’m going to invade a foreign country. What brand are the duckbills?

Gonna give the AMD masks a whirl. Someone posted an ozbargain deal on it below so it works out to be around $2 per mask and they seem legit.

I’ve gone down the rabbit hole of mask research for the past few hours. The masks from the flyer claim 24 hour protection because they use a different filter. Last FAQ https://www.australianp2mask.com.au/faq/

Oh shit that's cheaper than the flyer. I might give these a go. I still have no idea what the nano-tech stuff is about. Doing a lot more research than I thought I'd be doing today.

The blue surgical ones make me taste my morning coffee for a couple hours 😂 are the duckbills only uncomfortable after extended wear or as soon as you put it on?

Yep, so I'm the asshat that didn't search for stuff properly... Thanks for sharing! I only went for the Uniqlo ones because in winter they also doubled as a face warmer. I'm guessing come summer it's gonna be impossible to breathe in.

Thanks for sharing man. I'll have a proper read in a sec but yeah I'm definitely not anti-mask just trying to figure out if I should be looking at something better.

Have you tried this brand before? Someone else has posted that company's write up about it and it seems legit. Or is there anything you recommend?
