Hey Product Hunters! David here, designer and creator of purME. I am excited to introduce purME mask to you! purME was conceived by our team when we started to wear masks to protect against air pollution and other harmful particles. Since none of the existing designs can provide the protection, comfort and convenience we demanded, we decided to make one ourselves. After months of work, we have finalized the design and put it into test. purME features many designs from full-size respirators, while retaining the small size and weight of pollution masks. Its surface is LFGB-certified food grade silicone, with excellent seal and comfortability while blocking out all droplets. The filters are certified for KN95 protection for 50 using hours, with option to upgrade into P100. Valves are integrated for one-way airflow, so heat and humidity will release every time you exhale. All parts are machine-washable and will last for years. Nothing on the market rivals purME in convenience and protection. Through this campaign, we wish to raise concerns about the invisible dangers of air pollution and air-transmitted threats, and to help people protect themselves with our affordable respirator product. But we need your help. We need your pledge to fund mass-production tooling for the main silicone polymer face piece and plastic components. In addition, the roduction cost would only be viable if we can reach the target number of sales. I am happy to answer any questions, discuss about suggestions, and invite you to become first owners of purME!

Feedback: If you want allow people wear mask for some continuos time, fix it on face with straps over head, not by ears https://jay.land/creative/mask

@denis_savitskiy our ear hook will distribute pressure evenly and can be worn comfortably for extended period.

@david_wu5 What have you done differently with the ear straps than the other masks? The choice of elasticated fabric hasn't made a difference so far so I'm intrigued why it would be better than one of the many, many masks being released right now that have gone with the much more comfortable head strap.

@rick_mills i, our strap is connected to a earhook, which distributes the force evenly to your ears for better comfort.

This looks like it’s doing well (number one position as I type this) however I can’t help but think face mask products right now are simply cashing in on the pandemic. And something about that doesn’t sit right with me.

@mickc79 Hello, purME is soft and conforms to most faces so it will fit a wider range or wearers.
Arthur Chang
@mickc79 It also isn't, since it's not made to work for Covid without modification to the valve, so it is slightly misleading. I can't imagine the maker not being aware of the fact that it requires a modification, and anything mask related is always going to be associated with Covid right now. It boggles my mind it doesn't mention Covid at all anywhere in the description.

@art_chang Yeah that jumped out at me too. You just can't release a face mask right now without the obvious and immediate association with Covid, yet they haven't mentioned it at all. All very dodgy if you ask me.

@art_chang @mickc79 purME is designed for protection against air pollution. Some mentions of COVID19 has been added since receiving questions from backers.
Arthur Chang
@mickc79 right, it still seems like @david_wu5 is still downplaying it. @david_wu5, why are you so against addressing this upfront? Are you not aware this is one of the biggest issues historically that the entire world is battling against? It seems: 1. Very strange you're not positioning the product for Covid, it's as if you don't care what's happening and have a product that's so damn close to doing it, yet you don't. 2. You're totally aware of it, but there's some underlying reason why you don't want to get into it? You'll probably find people thinking you think Covid is a hoax? Or are you just totally ignorant of what's going on in the world on purpose? I'm not saying you are, but it just seems so off to me.

Look good, nice choice of materials, I'd wear this.

Damn, nice work but too bad its made in China. If you have any sense, you can't buy anything from the most unfree country in the world anymore. Please, find another source!

@pablo_jonas thank you for your comment, we will look up for sources from other countries for future products.

David Wu

@amusicmonger It will protect you from inhaling tear gas as long as P100 filter is attached
