Early into the pandemic, a variety of mask creators helped to improve upon the basic features of face masks for comfort and protection but there's also been a need identified for transparent masks to support identification and communication. The ClearlyHuman Reveal mask promises superior protection, comfort and transparency with its design that helps to reveal the nuances of emotion. The mask takes the form of an anti-fog polycarbonate shell that's fitted with a soft silicone piece to offer sealing and comfort.
The transparent face mask includes an N95-level filter to support high-level protection, and it offers a design that's easy to clean. Unlike most opaque cloth masks that make it difficult to see the nuances of spoken words and shared emotions, this mask sets itself apart to share joyful smiles and more.
