COVID Face Masks
IMPORTANT INFORMATION - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
Our facemasks are knitted in a pure, high quality Pima Cotton and have been pre-shrunk. They can be machine-washed at 40 degrees Celsius, temperature necessary to kill the COVID bacteria, and will last a long time. We have knitted them in our new 3-colour fabric which is denser than our normal one.
They contain no lycra or elastic and so there are several sizes. You will need to measure from just in front of your ear to the middle of your nose as can be seen in the photos. Keep the tape as taught as you would want the mask to be. This is to ensure a good snug fit. (So you can see in the photo that I measure 12cm.) The mask is better to be a little too tight than too loose because it will get larger throughout the day with the moisture from your exhalation.
You can buy 1 mask or a pack of 5. You can choose which design you want for a single mask but the packs of 5 will be assorted colours. Use the chart below to know the number associated with the single mask you want. Please put your first and second choice numbers in the box for notes at the checkout.
SIZES:
S Childs / Ladies Small 10-11cm
L Ladies 12cm
M Mens 13cm
XM Mens Large 14cm
XXM Mens Extra Large 15cm
XXXM Mens Extra Extra Large 16-17cm
There may be men who have even larger faces, there are some in Shetland! I have designed another mask for you guys and it is also deeper to cover your very large (and important) face. Please be patient .... I hope to receive the prototypes soon, to finish and test on a couple of faces.
We have decided to price the masks at an introductory level to start with. This will enable you to buy one and check on the fit, then get some more if you want. The price includes shipping. Be sure to choose the right option, UK or not.
Finally, please remember that a BAKKA facemask is not a PPE mask. WHO recommends cloth masks for everyone under the age of 65 who is not vulnerable. We can only hope that you will wash your facemask after each use and do not wear it twice.
