Noob!
My preference is the K&N mask... good for 3% increase in Hp over the stock mask:ride

If those masks work as well as their filters you'll wanna use if for street only, off road and you'll need a new set of lungs.

With their Covid infection record, it's highly unadvisable to buy or wear their stuff. :laughing

I didn't think you swung that way, Guy.

This is like flat earth theory - too dumb to not get called out, yet so obviously wrong to not worth the trouble to refute. :facepalm :thumbdown

Nope. I could reference numerous studies done by highly respected medical institutions that would back up my claims. But you likely wouldn't believe them. The fact is, the virus is so small and the masks are so porous and ill fitting that wearing one is completely useless.
Just as one example, no one wore masks a Stugis last year. There was only one, maybe two cases of Covid caught.
And on top of that, the survival rate is 99.8% with the vast majority of deaths in the very elderly with complicating factors.

Post 'em up, I, for one would like to see this, so I can make my own assessment, just like you did. But if you don't feel like engaging, PM me the links.

There were exactly three cases covid and 560 cases of chlamydia. 801 cases of enlarged prostates.

get it while it's easy
there is some dispute about sturgis https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20200909/sturgis-bike-rally-superspreading-event-or-not
in any event, it was not ‘one, maybe two’. irrespective of which version you subscribe to, what else have you said that is factually incorrect?

This (virus is so small, masks are porous and ill fitting) may be true but you need to understand the context. Virus is very small, but each virus doesn't fly around freely. Instead, they cling to respiratory droplets. When you talk, laugh, cough and sneeze, your saliva is expelled forcefully and carrying the virus with it - that's what the mask helps to block - the direct path between your mouth and other people's faces, and vice versa. This helps in everyday casual contact - the mask doesn't stop individual virus, but stops droplets that are full of virus from entering your mouth/nose.
In a high risk environment like inside hospital wards, they wear more protective equipment, but that's a different environment from everyday casual contact.

Please keep politics out of my motorcycle gear thread

Maybe it’s me, but I’m not seeing politics above. This is akin to a helmet thread and somebody was arguing helmets are useless, in the face of all the data and research. We must stop nonsense every time we see it.

I bet you’re right but don’t leave us hanging, where’s the mask study.
Also how about a link to that only a single Sturgis covid case tidbit.

So, you believe all the BS about masks?
Here are two articles. Within them are numerous references to medical studies that have been done. Read them and be educated:

https://www.technocracy.news/censor...9-social-policy-and-why-face-masks-dont-work/
Masks simply don't work. Period. But if you want to give up your civil liberties and run around looking like a dork, by all means, do it. It's your privilege.
