Additionally, masks are selling out in America. I’m speaking of a new mask Hilipert KF94 Fish Type Mask. This is a very comfortable mask to wear, easier to breath, thicker and yet feels lighter. They are growing in popularity.
KF stands for Korean filter. 94 relates to the percentage, which is 94% of particles down to the 0.3 micron level filtered, Hilipert KF94 uses a 4 layer active filtration system. Reaching the equivalent highest filter rating by the FDA.
Why do I like these masks? My ears were becoming sore. These mask have an elastic ear-loop. It helps with the fitting. The elastic helps answer the question regarding fits all sizes. It does and smoothly. It also helps if you wear glasses. A wire bridge allows fitting near the nose and helps address another issue of fogging on your glasses. My glasses would fog up with other masks. Also, I started using straps for my glasses. Sometimes my glasses would fall off regardless. This mask extends below the chin because it is threefold. 3D shaped allows contour fitting for eyes, nose, mouth and chin
They come in different colors, however, I prefer black. Get yours today.

5 WAYS to FIGHT Mold
5 Ways to Fight Mold on the road
1. Keeps the windows rolled up at night to keep moisture from entering the vehicle. This is if you are not in the vehicle. If you living in the vehicle then you will need a fan to circulate the air.
2. Allow the sun to shine in your vehicle. The sun will kill mold. It will also prevent it from spreading rapidly. However, it will not eliminate it completely.
3. Keep your vehicle clean. If you spill something, clean it vacuum and shampoo carpet. If you have a mattress flip it.
4. There is a product called Damprid that absorbs moisture in dark places. It is nontoxic. Always verify.
5. If you have a leak, fix it immediately. If you find mold, you need to air out your vehicle. Do not use your vehicle air-conditioner or heater to do this because it will allow spores to accumulate in your filter system.
