Pollution mask

[fulham911club]

Per the title really - looking for a face mask to combat the London pollution

Ideally something that is light so doesn't get too hot. It will be for use on a scooter on my daily commute and I thought I'd post here given more cyclists seem to have masks than motorcyclists...

Recommendations?

Thanks

Army surplus S10 respirator?



Replaceable activated charcoal filters to absorb all the nasties from traffic emissions. It even comes with a built-in valve to keep your drinks pollutant free.

Wear it with a full dayglo hazmat suit to ensure everyone else on the road gives you a very wide berth, and you'll never be delayed again

Don't you have a full face helmet on already?

No, otherwise I wouldn't require a pollution mask !!

If it were me, I'd rather spend the money on a full face helmet that would save my chin in a crash...

I find the Respro City Mask very comfortable. To be honest I only wear it in the garden when I mow the lawn in high pollen season (I used to wear it in my Caterham too).

Well it isn't you is it.

But thanks for your helpful insight into masks. I'll be sure to PM you next time I need a piece of advice.
