I always forget that this man doesnt have over 100.000 subs, he's so professional like damn
Thanks so much! 😭
His content is very niche, but you're right. His content is high quality
@@ThisIsAntwon no, thank YOU
This comment aged poorly
@@lunchtreyy well I guess so but I'd see it more of a prediction
His hair is different! He didn't mention it, but it is, i seen it. So its true
yeah he looks a lot younger too good for him
mans trimmed up
I’ve got the Uniqlo masks and find them more than adequate. At £10 for x3 they’re not too expensive to replace if you lose all x3. They’re also SPF50 rated so offer protection from UV and can supposedly last being washed 100 per mask. Personally I avoid white masks as, to me, wearers look like they’re wearing panties or jockstraps over their chops
Hi from France! ^^
About mask,i prefer the shape of the KF94 (korean mask) because it fully cover your nose (aluminium band) and you shin. The central part make you easier to breath. I did my mask with this shape personnally ^^
The Outlier 001 isn't really protective, since it's open on the bottom.. Please keep that in mind!
It also makes a wearer look like they’ve stepped out of an old Cowboy movie where they’re playing the role of a cattle rustler 🤠
Having one myself, he's definitely wearing it wrong XD ... Hence why it looks sort of ridiculous and way too open at the bottom. There is one fold that he did not unfold, the mask is actually longer and covers the chin/neck area much better, bit of a shame he did not notice, feel free to check on Outlier website so you can understand. He also did not talk much about that double Ultrasuede layer which is actually much more protective than most masks on the market and filters more particles + feels so great on the skin.
@@Julienbauzin came here for this, posted another comment addressing this and added a tip about waterproof tape helping slippage issues
@@Julienbauzin Thanks Julien, yeah my bad on that one! Gonna aim to record an addendum showing it fully folded out - the final pleat doesn't look like it's 'meant' to fold out but it does very much make a difference. And yes as you say the dual materials are great from a comfort + protection perspective
The two big things for me would be keeping breath out of eyes and fogging glasses, and having plenty of space between the mouth and mask material.
I've always used dust masks because they have an adjustable metal nose bridge and have a rigid-ish shell. But something that can also be easily folded up would be cool.
I’m absolutely in love with Uniqlo masks. The material is very breathable and nice on the face
Agreed on that, glad you like 'em!
I've enjoyed Orbit's mask quite a lot. It's a little harder to breathe through but feels like it actually does something because of it. Wore it on a 3.5 hour flight in the summer and wasn't too uncomfortable, I think mainly because of the extra strap support off the ears.
hi what size did you order?
orbit gear is my personal favorite and one of the ones i see around the techwear scene
Well, that Orbit Gear Masks come in at "sold out" for both versions and 35$ + shipping for a used one.
It's been like that since they first dropped
I think Shellsoul might have some in stock
You're right. Size 3 is available everywhere. I somehow can't imagine anyone with that 13++cm height. ;-)
The Petite Pli masks are cool although the nose wire is prone to snapping. Buff make a neck gaiter/mask which again looks good but the supplied filters bunch up when you're wearing it so it's better without them.
Waiting for the day to play Future's - Mask Off
A song too ahead of its time 😭
for the orbit mag strap, get some sort of hot knife (I got a knife blade for a soldering iron) and use that to cut the strap once you figure out your ideal length. the heat will melt the fabric so it doesn't fray. leave a little extra to fold over and sew it which helps a bit with slippage. I don't knoiw who they designed it for with the strap that long.
It’s difficult to tell from the review which masks are multilayered because it isn’t a key feature in your review/comparison. FYI; the Lululemon masks are single layered. There’s also some considerable gaping in some of the masks featured.
Another interesting one would be from Petit Pli (London UK), really unique design and fabric. Also please pull and unfold that extra fold on the OUTLIER 001 that's not how you're supposed to wear it check on their website XD , been my daily mask for a while now and loving it so much!
He mentioned it in the last mask vid. I also got this mask and wear it a lot. Really unique and comfortable mask. No ear issues with this one.
@@sclr Great to hear you like it! If I do another one of these vids that'll be on the list for sure
Outlier's 001 mask is great for bearded guys. It's the only mask Ive found that keeps me from looking like chewbacca in a speedo.
just went about and binged a bunch of your vids again antelope, thanks for being my quarantine partner
ended up goin wild and copped some actual tech pants too, no more taobao shit. ya pushed me over the edge LMAO
Been using the OrbitGear masks for months and I opted to mod them with a small piece of metal to have a hook in the back so the mask isn't behind my ears, but instead loops around the head. Feels much nicer and is more secure. The magnetic clasp models do the same thing but in a fancier way.
I also cut the Orbit tag away; I love Orbit, but gosh darnit, what a terrible placement for a huge tag :D
Just remember to wash the reusable masks...
Any options with head straps as opposed to ear loops? Even ear loops + reliefs are terrible for my ears and fit. There's always a gap.
I ordered the Lululemon ones based on your review. I will let you know how I like them when they arrive.
Yo! You don’t have your mask pulled all the way down in the shots for the 001 outlier mask. Also Lil thing I did that massively upgraded that mask is add a few strips of 3m “absolute waterproof” first aid tape on the nose bridge. Solves 90% of slippage issues.
Before someone asks.. no.. it’s not 3m reflective.. so -3 for nose-reflection, but +10 usability and Time Slippage
1.Of course not even Antwon dares to test Orbit's magnetic buckles under stormy weather. Better CV19ed than bolt fried. 😆😆😆😆
2.First one and the two last ones are the best but the perfect mask is the one that has covered the antifog issue. 👍😎
I have a few of the Orbit masks (Black, Yellow, Orange, and 2 Blacks, I think), and I’m not the biggest fan of them, mostly because I wear glasses, and they fog up a ton while wearing one. I actually ended up getting 2 of the Shadow masks from Triple Aught Design, and they’re very nice. They can sometimes form around your face in a weird way (if that makes sense), but they’re very comfortable, and have a place for a filter in them as well. I’ll probably try out the Outlier 04 next.
just copped the reflective orbit gear mask hopefully worth the hype, and it’s so cheap only IDR 98.000
>not taking any Christmas breaks here
>video after Christmas
Can't seem to find the Lululemon mask on the American site... Dont think they sell it to us 😔
Thanks Antwon, I can finally rob my local Lidl in style! 😎
heeeee-haw 🤠
I like coat of arms mask. I was going to get Orbit’s mask but they were sold out at the time
Look up Cambridge mask The Churchill PRO
It has an UK military grade filtration technology, N99 grade
Very good fit and stylish
I really recommend it!
The Outlier 004 mask looks neat!
And I don't like the Orbit gear logo tag at all. I guess they just used the same tags they use for all their stuff but it is way too big for a mask. Otherwise cool design though.
I live in a humid climate and masks tend to get bogged down by moisture and suck to your face. It’s uncomfortable and so far the Uniqlo mask is the only one of the dozens of masks I’ve gone through that isn’t a respirator where that isn’t a major issue. The Orbit Gear mask is great but I’ve also been dealing with how fiddle the straps are. Even before the first wash, they got all twisty in that annoying bra strap kind of way.
Can we talk about why we don’t have any designer choices as good as Orbitgear, in the US? By the end of checkout it’s like 50-60 dollars, it’s really horrible pricing haha, that shipping from Indonesia is a killer.
Now THIS is a haircut. 11pm, shopping some Lululemon masks now. 😎
Shoutout to my boy Alphamotif for his super comfy ones tho!
ive had the uniqlo since they dropped. i was looking for a new mask cos the cotton ones i had were giving me spots and i hoped the airism tech would help that. i was right. i have been doing 8.5 hour shifts with it on the entire time (except for lunch) and i've not had spots since. because there's 3 i've been washing them after each shift and using a different one the next day. this really helps with just general cleanliness too which is what they're for after all.
more subjectively, i also think the grey ones are the best, for me at least. white looks too clinical imo and black masks always look a little too contrasty compared to my face (i'm white).
4/4 would recommend
Orbit is the coolest looking mask.
Hello antwon. What do you think about dxxmlife?
Surprised you didn't talk about the guerilla group Cordura storm cotton mask
It sucks to hear about the glasses issue with that first mask. It looks really cool.
One of my favourite looking ones for sure. It's not a unique issue unfortunately and lots of masks will cause that (including the disposable ones)
@@ThisIsAntwon I just bought a $25 dollar Under Armour mask that claimed it wouldn’t do that. My glasses still fog up but it’s considerably less than before. If I would have gone a size smaller (they run large but all the comments said they ran small so I listened to them and sized up) it would probably do it even less. I just ordered a three pack of LuLuLemon masks to try out too.
@@ThisIsAntwon just have to say I also have the b5000v. Grabbed it from a gent who thought it was a black model in used condition. $400. Far and away my lifetime fav. I love every time I see it on your wrist. Great videos. :)
the outlier caught my eye at first glan xe
I am very late...
Hope you had a good start into 2021 Antwon!

Uniqlo airism mask is super comfy and has spf40 protection
I like the masks by Thirdcult on Etsy. Have been rocking one daily for the past year.
late to the video, but check out the LBBJKT masks. comfy and adjustable
I picked up a couple of the Orbitgear masks when they were first available and I def. agree they run large - I bought the L size and despite me being on the large size overall they have a fair bit of extra space under the chin. Would work fine if you had a bunch of beard to cover up, I guess :o If they do another run I might try a couple M size and see how I do.
you shud check out the tom binh v3 mask
ID on the necklace? lookin fresh doe ant
Wait how did you get lululemon they told me they didn’t have them. Guess I need to check the app again
They have come in and out of stock a few times now - worth checking back occasionally!
i loved that anderson paak hint
Hey Antwon, you've ordered from Outlier a few times now, how is shipping and customs to the UK handled?
Yo! Never had issues with shipping although items will technically be due customs charges. From memory there's been 1 or 2 deliveries where I was never charged though, so I guess it's a bit of a lottery (and I swear half the times customs make up the costs)
Where's the glasses fogging test?
Been using the adidas Aeroready masks, sleek and super breathableand only 15€ for 3
You can just put the dangly ear loops on the Orbit mask inside the mask
techwear people were used to wearing masks when 2020 hit. they don't need an excuse.
I like the vandana
Rino Ready GRD-01.
Thank me later.
love u anton
10:41 you close wrong eye xD
Ops core Sotr
And now the Extreme Edition
Hi
004 is prime! 😭
Some peoples still don't know what mask to use
When it comes to cloth masks, a lot of German people use masks from the manifacturer _van Laack_ .
But currently, only medical grade masks are allowed in Germany. A pity
YESSS
As far as for health, masks are most effective at stopping particles when they’re made of multiple layers of tightly woven fabric, with 100% cotton being the best single material type and a mix of some 100% cotton layers and some other natural fiber layers. I do appreciate the technical and comfort aspects of things like the Uniqlo airism masks, but I can’t buy them because performance wise they’re not as good and when it comes to public health I want to get products that are the best performing on that front above all others.
A mask is effective only way u can make more effective is more layers or applying filter. Don’t let the news brainwash u.
I cant post photo here, but the NOTINLIST Cyborg Mask look is out of the world.... Can see the mask photos on IG @notinlistproject
Duuuude I want a video about DXXMLIFE
Good. I wait for love from you 💝💖
Lovely 😍💋 💝💖❤️
It should be mentioned that a mask being antibacterial doesn't mean anything if your concern is Covid-19 which is a viral infection not a bacterial one.
I'm single 😥😥😥😥😥
Cringing when he touched the face at 6:13 🥺
What do you mean like when he touched in between his eyebrows?
@@ytuseracct yep, though I'm sure his hands were clean 🤞
The Orbit Gear mask is so awful, it makes me unreasonably angry.
You simply can NOT breathe through that material.
i know what you mean but i think you’ve got it too tight
@@WASSUP_ITS_OSAMA I have several of each size -- the material is not permeable by air lol. If you loosen it, air just flows by your nose and under your chin, which defeats the entire point of wearing a mask.
Yeah but which one's going to protect you? WTF
I would like to find a facemask that looks like its covering your mouth & nose but has open vents or an illusion that people cannot see so you can actually breath properly without experiencing hypercapnia. That would be REAL techwear utility.
that would also guarantee infection to any or all airborne viruses... well since there’s a vaccine coming out, i suppose this is fine?
Masks don't cause hypercapnia -_- Better off not wearing a mask at all so people can avoid you instead of trying to deceive them
