Product Information

We looked to include a range of face coverings made of different materials, numbers of layers and designs (eg pleated, molded, with filter, kids sizes available), to see which were most effective and comfortable. We washed each face covering five times at 60°C, or using the temperature / method specified by the manufacturer, looking for damage each time.

The Big Silk and Superdrug were our two Best Buys that were least likely to steam up. The Big Silk, Airpop and Superdrug were the Best Buys that were rated 5/5 for comfort while wearing glasses. How we selected face coverings to test To find out how easy or hard it will be to breathe in a face covering, we measure the pressure required to draw air through the mask at a rate of eight litres per minute. This mask was the best at filtration in our tests. It filtered 99.9% of particles before washing and 94% after five washes. It's 'semi-reusable,' meaning it has to be disposed of after 10 washes or 40 hours of use, but it's an impressive halfway point between a reusable and disposable face covering - a good one for times when you want a bit more reassurance. There's a kids' version of the mask too.But measuring bacterial filtration efficiency allows us to get an idea of how well face coverings provide a barrier for particles. The best face coverings were able to filter 99.9% of particles, while the worst only managed a paltry 7%' There are advantages to silk– it’s meant to be gentler on your skin as it’s less occlusive than other fabrics, and it’s hydrophobic so it repels water droplets. Plus, this is our most breathable Best Buy. A nose wire allows you to create a snug fit, but the adjustable ear loops can be a bit fiddly to get right. This can lead to your face covering becoming damp, which reduces the filtration efficiency. This is why we only gave top scores to face coverings which got the balance right.

They're not adjustable, so may not suit everyone, but our panel of testers considered them well-fitting and comfortable.The largest improvement was an increase from 7% filtration to 27%, but most only improved marginally. However, bear in mind that over a longer period of time it's possible the fabric will wear and become slightly less effective. So if your mask is starting to look worn out it's time to replace it.

Another reason: People can actually go blind from rubbing their eyes because they can break down the front layer of the cornea, Horn warned. Bottom line: We also aimed to cover a range of prices, widely available products in high street retailers, and some high-profile online-only brands. Why test reusable masks?Masks are marked down for poor breathability, as this can create a build-up of moisture which then affects filtration (see How We Test, below the table). Our tests revealed that some reusable face coverings can do a good job of filtering particles, while being easy to breathe through. But others struggle to get the balance right. Always rinse the lenses first with water to avoid grinding any particles that may be on the surface into the glasses and scratching them, Horn advised. They did well when filtering particles - managing 72% of particles on the first test, 73% after five washes - while also being some of the most breathable masks we looked at.
