Neck gaiters are far too common in the wild. But do they actually protect against COVID-19? Let's take a deep dive into neck gaiters vs surgical masks.
This matchup isn't even close. Surgical masks school neck gaiters when it comes to defending against COVID-19. Neck gaiters, to put it bluntly, are terrible at protecting you from COVID-19.
Armbrust USA, a Texas based surgical mask manufacturer put a common neck gaiter through the ringer using an ASTM Certified Particulate Filtration Efficiency Machine.
The results were, as expected, not great. The neck gaiter, worn as directed, only filtered out a measly eight percent of particulate matter. That’s well below the safety threshold if keeping COVID-19 at bay is your goal.
Compare that to a Armbrust USA surgical mask. When one of its mask was run through the same machine, it filtered out 99.3 percent of all particulate matter. The question you must ask yourself when you're braving the wild is: "Do I want eight percent protection or 99.3 percent protection?" For most, the answer is pretty clear.
Along with schooling all neck gaiters at COVID-19 defense, each Armbrust USA mask is FDA-listed and carries ASTM Level three certification. This means it filters out everything down to 0.1 microns. This provides more than enough protection against COVID-19, with room to spare.
Armbrust USA mails masks directly to your door in boxes of 50, 200, 500, and 2,000. Plus, if you sign up for a monthly mask subscription you can save 30 percent on your order. Armbrust USA even makes face shields and masks made just for kids. In short, it's a one-stop shop for the best in COVID-19 defense.
