Before Totobobo, I had been cycling in Bangkok for more than four years without any protection because I didn&#8217;t realize what kind of damage PM2.5 can do to health. At first, I only used buff to filter out dust since Thailand&#8217;s pollution mask is not well known! Later after the air pollution situation in Bangkok escalated, and that raised my awareness about PM2.5. Although I began to wear a pollution mask, most of them were uncomfortable and did not fit my face. I ride 40 km each day and sweat a lot (most masks got all wet and became unbreathable).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After I tried the Totobobo mask, I was delighted with the fit and comfort (both the standard and the nose-clip versions). It is the answer for safe breathing in today&#8217;s urban space. It has protected me from PM2.5 as well as COVID-19. I&#8217;m able to maintain good riding performance. With the Totobobo mask on, I can keep cycling at 30+km\/hr; this is not possible with other masks.<br><br>Let&#8217;s follow Sahathatna on his B2W video:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Totobobo Pro filter in Bangkok\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/M1LCmPhNmNI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I saw your deal on Kickstarter and would like to say that you did an excellent job for the mask that supports people wearing glasses!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The thing that I would like Totobobo to take into consideration:<br>&#8211; please improve the strap. I wear your mask and strap it to my head in the back. the material is soft already, but it would be better if it were a bit wider.<br>&#8211; mask colour option. I know that Totobobo stands for clean and transparent, but it would be nice to have different colours.\u00c2\u00a0<br>&#8211; finally, would be nice if the Thailand dealer would have more filter options in stock here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/totobobo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Sahathatna-Chanprung-mix.webp\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/totobobo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Sahathatna-Chanprung-mix-1024x962.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4901\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Left: the daily cycling route (40 km each way)  Top-right: Cycling in Bangkok  Bottom right: ECO filter after two weeks of uses.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By:&nbsp;Sahathatna Chanprung, Bangkok Dear Totobob Team, I want to give you my personal experience and feedback after three and a half years of using the Totobobo mask for cycling.
