Looks like I will be switching back to my cotton mask for off-the-water situations.

It's been known from the beginning that buffs are way too porous to do much. Anything that stretches is not going to work. Plus they don't seal around the edges.

Now, if we could only educate the idiots who are wearing good masks, but not covering their noses...

Thank you Joe, just read the article. I will be returning to my cotton masks as well.
