Some comments about this we saw on the web:

* /u/mrsmoo on /r/BurningMan Hmm, I’ve never seen that one! Looks ok… although the way it covers the whole neck might be pretty hot during the day. Is it just cloth? What are the filters made out of?

I’ve used this one and this one for many years, they both work great. I love the second one but it’s really hard to find (and more expensive than it used to be).

——* /u/mrsmoo on /r/BurningMan I have some asthmatic tendencies as well. Definitely take a respirator of some kind. You’ll find that you want one that doesn’t cover your whole face, as it can get pretty hot in there!

I have a couple different ones, this one is my favorite. I got it a couple of years ago for maybe $15. I also have this one which works great but is a little bigger to carry around.

Easy to find at hardware stores. The black one looks kind of cool on :)

Edit: just found this one when I linked to Amazon – looks really lightweight and low profile, which is nice! It is pink, though (a bonus for some, a drawback for others, hehe)

——* /u/mrsmoo on /r/BurningMan It is probably going to be dusty as HELL this year (almost no rain means a very soft playa) so I would recommend a solid, high quality dusk mask. The little paper ones are not that great.

I have this one and this one – both work great. Check your local hardware stores… we got the multicolored ones at Home Depot but i think I ordered the black ones from Amazon.

For goggles, something like this works really well, although ski goggles are also good. Check to see if there are air vents on the sides of the lenses (usually there to keep the goggles from fogging up) – if there are, you will need to cover the vents with fabric or your eyes will fill with dust.

It is really nice to have one pair of goggles that are dark (for daytime) and another pair that are clear (for nighttime), if you can.

Take a cooler. It’s not that hard to keep one cooler clean and cold – there is ice for sale there and a block of ice will keep a smallish cooler cold for a few days if you keep it up off the playa and in the shade. Hard boiled eggs, cheese, baby carrots, some salsa to go with your chips – you will be really glad to have a few fresh options. Also, if you can take a camping burner and some cans of propane. Quesadillas ROCK late at night!

Do you have lights? This is VERY important and you didn’t mention it… make sure you have lights to put on your body when you go out at night. NOT disposable glowsticks. Try el-wire or little 5’ strings of LED lights like this (put the battery pack in your coat pocket and drape them around your shoulders).

Hope this helps!
