 ====== N95 & KN95 Masks ======
-No, not the [[gear:masks:guy-fawkes-mask|Guy Fawkes Mask]]. If you're doing a sit-in kind of protest, sure you can bring one of those masks just for casual sitting around, but they're not functional at all and can be dangerous for a protest march. The plastic is too fragile, and can end up cracked/broken by a police baton or whatever, possibly causing you injury. The masks you WANT are going to be preferably an N-95 respirator as these handle particulates, or KN95 although they're a few percent lower rate of protection, I think it's about 97% with N-95, 90-95% with a KN95 and drops to about 60% or less with a surgical mask. The first 2 images are of KN95s, the image on the right, is an N-95, specifically a 3M brand Aura.
