Both my best friend and my fiance have essential jobs. They have to wear masks constantly, but lunch time was a problem. Where do you put your mask when you eat? My sister-in-law recommended these masks to me and they are now my favorite! Elegant, professional looking, and all day breathability and comfort made these my top choice for those I care about. At breaks, my essential workers can have them hang around their necks! No need to set their mask on questionable surfaces, stuff them pockets, or hang them off the ear. No chance of losing the mask either. They look good and feel great, and no elastic pulling on your ears. Tie them to your comfort level, and the ties move with your head. The large mask fits over my ex-husband's beard, too! High quality and durable, wash after wash. My first of these masks still looks like new! I'm back here to buy a few more. Thanks!
