Cycling poses unique challenges when it comes to wearing an air filter mask. Air flow restriction, uncomfortable heat buildup, straps that dig into your skin, foggy goggles, and the inconvenience of carrying a bulky mask when not in use are just a few of the issues cyclists face. If you’re on the lookout for a suitable mask to safeguard your lungs while cycling in the prevalent air pollution of modern cities, you’ve come to the right place.
At Totobobo, we understand the importance of finding the ideal air filter mask for sports enthusiasts, particularly cyclists. That’s why we’re grateful to Mike McCarthy for sharing his invaluable experience with the Totobobo SuperCool mask, specifically designed for cycling. Based on extensive research, Mike initially purchased the SuperCool mask and has graciously provided his ongoing feedback below.
2012-09-28 Mike left a note when he bought his first Totobobo mask
“When cycling around at night, I can see dust flying everywhere and I can feel it in my lungs. I researched some dust masks and came across very few options. Fortunately, Google showed me totobobo. I’m excited to try it out and breathe better while cycling at night. I am a cyclist in Saigon (Vietnam) and the pollution can sometimes be a killer, I did try another mask that also covered my nose but it just so easily fogged my glasses up (As well as costing a lot more!) I google found the found Totobobo mask and I like the price as well as the fact that it leaves your nose uncovered, cycling with a mask and un-fogged glasses will be a luxury!“
2012-10-06 Mike received and quickly tested with his SuperCool mask
“Took delivery of my “cycle” mask yesterday and tried it for the first time today – was a short cycle, 12Km. just 35 minutes on my bike was amazed to see it had already discolored from that short time. Can’t imagine how bad it will get after 2 or 3 hours of City riding.
I am still not satisfied with the fit, maybe takes a while to get used to, don’t want to do too much cutting (And do please cut carefully and cautiously). Another upside for me was the mask also stops you from breathing dry air, their is some condensation to take the dry cut out of the air – I like that.
Design simplicity – Yes.
Functionality – Yes.
Fashionable – NO !
I doubt I will ever cycle again without it!“
2012-11-19 Mike’s further feedback after 6 weeks of using SuperCool mask for cycling in Nagoya, Japan
“As a cyclist, I been using the mask now for about 6 weeks and am very happy, it definitely cuts down on the amount of pollutants one breathes in, and now that the air is much colder and drier (Nagoya Japan) a huge bonus for me is the fact that it cuts down on that cold dry air going straight into my lungs, the mask seems to warm the air up and moistens it cutting down on the cold dryness.
The only problems I had were minor – I cut too much away from the nose part – so cut slowly and carefully, also I hated the head straps – two of them that went around the back of my head, so I changed them so I could loop over my ears and are pre adjusted, very comfortable now!“
“I also regret not having ordered 2 sets of this mask – I want to keep one at my work place. Another order in the works. I got to say thanks for making a reasonably priced and extremely functional mask.“
