3M R9211-10 (AmazonUs/3MCA9) Particulate Respirator, 10-Pack

Why we love it?

Living in China, I wear masks to protect myself from the air pollution. Over the past few months, I’ve tried this mask, the blue Moldex mask, and others. My thoughts: Read reviews that mention

Some comments about this we saw on the web:

——* /u/dv042b on /r/BurningMan * He doesnt like cheap paper masks * He doesn’t like neoprene masks because of the fit and filters * So he recommends HIGH QUALITY paper masks… these specifically http://www.amazon.com/3M-Cool-Flow-Particulate-Respirator-R9211-10/dp/B000MPLVVA * Make sure to get goggles with clear lenses and that have a tight airtight seal to keep out the dust, he recommends ski goggles with clear lenses or motocross goggles * The headwrap thing

Easily covered up with a bandana if you’re so inclined. I would think they would stay cooler than neoprene on your face.

——* /u/tibbon on /r/BurningMan Last year, I used my dust mask only once in the deep playa, and honestly could have gone without it. I bought absolutely the wrong one. It was one of these $20 super-sealing plastic ones with dual replacable filter from Home Depot. It was hot, heavy, didn’t fold down and it was just a mess. Great for painting or sanding, less good for Playa.

Ordering 3M high quality paper masks seems to be the trick.

——* /u/lepton2171 on /r/BurningMan I really like these (relatively cheap) dust masks.

——* /u/–23— on /r/BurningMan Get anything with the valve to let your hot, stanky breath out:

——* /u/jameshigg on /r/BurningMan Last year was unusually nice weather, and from what i’ve heard this year’s dust storms could be among the garliest. I had asthma as a kid and I usually am fine with just a bandanna, but I always bring some sort of mask(s) to cover my nose and mouth just in case a crazy storm does happen.

This year I am bringing these: http://www.amazon.com/3M-Cool-Flow-Particulate-Respirator-R9211-10/dp/B000MPLVVA

I saw them recommended by a video posted here actually: http://www.reddit.com/r/BurningMan/comments/yemql/surviving_dustocalypse_like_a_boss/ I suggest you bring something similar or at least something more than just a bandanna this year.

I am excited by all the talk of crazy weather for this year. Part of what makes burning man fun for me is being out in the extreme conditions.

——* /u/potato0 on /r/BurningMan These cooling towels are AWESOME. They are made of a material that water soaks into, but doesn’t come out of easily. This means they hold a ton of water, stay wet for ages, and don’t get anything touching them wet at all (so you don’t get an irritated neck like you do from wearing a wet towel). Seriously if you wet one of these and give it a squeeze, you’ll be amazed by how much water comes out. They dry stiff, so make sure to fold them up neatly while they’re still wet. Highly, highly recommended.

Shemaghs make great dust masks, head scarves, and hats. There is a reason these things are so popular in the desert. Lots of colors too.

These are the disposable dust masks to get. For a proper whiteout, they offer better filtration/protection than a bandana, and the valve means you can actually wear them for more than five minutes without suffocating. They come in little individually wrapped packs, which mean they’re great for gifts (although I’d unwrap the ones you aren’t planning to carry around as a gift at home).

Not prime, but free shipping, and if you order now they’ll get here: goggles. Comes with a day and night set, inexpensive and highly recommended. These are my go-to utility goggles.

These personal misters are good. They aren’t durable, so don’t count on it lasting more than a year, but they’re much more compact than the big garden sprayers.

If you feel the need to own a Soviet Russian spec gas mask, amazon has one for 10 bucks. Protip: that bag it comes with is the perfect size to stick a 1 gallon waterbottle (the kind with the peice of tape a handle, not the ones with the handle built into the bottle) to turn it into a canteen.

If you enjoy biking, and tend to wear boots, wide, grippy pedals are great bike upgrade. I was really suprised at the difference they made for stability and my ability to comfortably put power to the ground. I went for these ones that were on sale last year (not prime), but the shape is what matters from what I can tell, so any ones like that with the grip nubs should be good. There are cheaper ones made of plastic, but I find plastic pedals crack on the playa way too easily, and a decent set of metal ones was worth the investment.
