Same, I wish I could wear my Uniqlo masks at work but the nature of my job has me sweating a lot due to the physical nature of my work so I generally save my reusable ones before/after work and use the disposable ones while working.
Bought some black ones off of Amazon that have a nose wire so glasses don't fog up. I wear those most days and will double up with a standard surgical mask if I'm going to more high risk areas.
I've had to travel and meet people for work all throughout the pandemic in a lot of badly impacted areas and as best as I can tell I've yet to contract COVID.

My casual ones for walking around outside are made by my gf's mom who sells them. They got some neat cloth patterns like galaxies, blue camo, star wars, etc
I could use some more serious ones though for when I need to double mask and stuff.

I get my n95's- the only mask that actually protects you- from a scalper on ebay, theyre actually reasonably priced ($9 ea.) and legit 3M no fake shit no kn95 bullshit
It's pretty big, but it was either something like this or shaving my beard off. It's long enough to hug the bottom of my beard and it has elastic on the bottom strap so it hugs the neck, kind of creating a beard "pillow".
I use the Outdoor Research too. It's adjustable and has the best coverage I've found. Others always leave some sort of gap or don't cover as well. Not the biggest fan of the filter arrangement but it's worth it for the coverage. The UA mask was not good for how much it cost.Best one I had so far:

Recently got an Under Armour mask. It's ok. It is really comfortable, but it gets rather hot and if you wear glasses they are going to fog up.
My wife made most of my masks themselves - multi-layered, adjustable straps, and a wire around the nose (helpful to stop my glasses form fogging).
Also have a few of the uniqlo masks, those are great.

Makes sense. The Uniqlo masks seem like they work best for casual/non-active use. Although one day I accidentally wore while I did cardio and was surprised it wasn't as uncomfortable as I thought it'd be. Still, I much prefer reusable masks for physical activity.

We use Castlegrade. They're respirators that provide a perfect seal and have a higher degree of filtration than an N95.
We were previously using O2 Canada respirators, but stopped upon learning those have valves and don't filter the air leaving your lungs. AFAIK this is the only respirator that does, and it works perfectly with my glasses too.
Only problem is the fit is a bit small if you have a large face like me. They're apparently working on a bigger fit.

For sure. I've done it a few times but the feel of the wet material against my face was enough to make me avoid doing it. 😅
I started with the standard sewn cloth mask with elastic straps, but my beard meant that it would ride up somewhere around my eyes. Switched to a sewn mask with tie straps, and two of them served me well. Eventually they wore out, and I recently replaced them with a black mask designed for use with beards.
The longer cut means I no longer have the puffy Civil War era sideburns, so that's a win. I've been pretty pleased with it so far, but my one complaint is the relative thinness of the material. Added in a cut down KN-95 underneath, and I'm a little more comfortable* being face to face with the hordes of customers coming through our store.

My favorite ones are from Harvey's, a SoCal business that makes bags and wallets out of seatbelt material. The masks are made from the liners of the bags though, not seatbelt haha.
I also have a ton of Disney masks from Downtown Disney and my last Disney World trip

Nowhere, I don't wear one....FUCK! You got me
One of my Wife's friends has been making and selling them
I use Milcoast 4-ply. They've been pretty comfortable. I wanted to use a reusable mask, but I either had problems breathing in them, washing them ruined them, or they had straps instead of loops which meant I couldn't easily wear them with my hearing aids or some combination of everything.
My health insurance company sent me three masks. Nice to see my $830 monthly premiums pay for something useful.
Thank you!!!It's pretty big, but it was either something like this or shaving my beard off. It's long enough to hug the bottom of my beard and it has elastic on the bottom strap so it hugs the neck, kind of creating a beard "pillow".

I have mostly cloth masks with inserts to place filters in them.
2 are from work they're blue with our credit union logo on them. Very comfortable especially with the little wire inside to make sure it secures my nose just right to avoid glasses fog ups.
Another I got from a site called Murder Apparel. Its black with plague doctor masks and bars of soap on it.
Another has Van Gogh's Starry Night on it.
Then I just bought another that has a galaxy design on it. Stiffer material kinda hard to breathe in if your very mobile.
I wash them all at the end of the week and hand dry them ready to go for next week.

I got a nice double layer handmade cloth one early on for free with space for a filter insert. Then I got one on Etsy during the summer with adjustable ear straps.

@Target. I'm pretty sure these are the masks that I use, purchased in-store for $2 per mask. I bought 4-5 packs, wear a new one every day, and wash them all when soiled.

In the early days of the pandemic I wore some old N95 masks I had in my garage/workshop, then switched to cheap disposables my workplace provided until I got the masks above. I also bought some neck gaiters but only wore them a couple of times, they're too tight on my enormous head.
Beyond that I ordered a mask for Halloween, and was thinking about ordering one for Christmas but haven't found one I like.

The New Era masks are amazing. The sell plain black and navy so I don't have to be in meetings with a giant team logo on my cheek too, which is nice. I also have a friend who made some insanely good ones at the start of the pandemic that are still holding up pretty well. For my daughter we use the Crayola Mask Pack ones, they've been incredibly clutch and I highly recommend them for anyone with children under 10.
I like the jaanuu masks I have. Pretty comfortable and I don't have to adjust them much.
