    Anyone use them?

    Took delivery of one today from CRC. I cycle the quays in Dublin every day and reckon the long term inhaling of clouds of diesel fumes from old sh7theap buses and coaches isn't doing my lungs any favours.

    Will everyone look at me weird? Don't think I've seen many other people wearing them.

    i used to use one many years ago, a charcoal filter one. now that's used while sanding.
    it used to clog on me with the condensation from my breath after about 40 minutes, especially on cold mornings. but i reckon it was doing a decent enough job of what it said on the tin.
    however, the people in the cars are subjected to a higher pollution level than you are. there's a slight caveat that you may be breathing more heavily.

    and i wouldn't get hung up on how they look. if you benefit from one, do it.
