To supply essential workers with at least some level of protection during the shortage of N95 masks, we have decided to allocate part of our production to cotton face masks using the same fabrics for some of our VetMedWear recovery garments.

 

 

 

Our 100% organic cotton face mask has three layers of fabric with a pouch for inserting an optional filter. Filters are not included with the mask and we are currently not recommending any specific filter brands. The fabric and face masks are entirely made in Canada.

 

 

Although this mask does not have the same level of protection as an N95 mask, it limits pathogens from transmitting to others if the user coughs, sneezes, or talks closely. It also protects the user from touching their mouth and nose. This mask is designed to be more comfortable than an N95 mask, making it more ideal for long term use at work or when outside in public. Our fabric is soft, breathable, and hypoallergenic making the mask comfortable to wear.

 

The mask is washable, however we recommend hand washing and avoiding the dryer to preserve the integrity of the mask for a longer period of time. 

 

 

The ear straps may be adjusted by tying a knot in between the loop. This shortens the size of the loop creating a tighter pull and more secure fit. 

 

Our face masks are sold in the following mix of colors: teal green, blue, grey, and purple. Colors may vary depending on our availability of fabric. There is currently no option to select specific colors at this time.
