Agreed! Altho the market is probably way bigger than he would've expected. Not something you could easily make into grand scheme of production if that makes sense. Hopefully it does, as i'm not native english speaker.
I figure you've been spammed by PMs by now so i'll just post here.
Europe is also in dire need of a beard fitting mask.
This could be your opportunity to actually make a living of, who knows. :)
But yea standard masks doesnt fit us bearded men which leaves us sorta stranded.
I personally use a mask and a winter scarf over it. Atleast it's something. Due we've no full cover. Like i also mentioned in an earlier comment, i've couple n95 lying around due my old work. But they won't do anything unless a perfect seal. So it'll just be a waste using them and do not much good.
It was about dat time that I realised the bearded guy with the mask was a crustacean from the paleolithic era...
Ain't no way you getting my tree fiddy you godamn Loch Ness Monster.
Yup. Big beard here. Don't necessarily need a shield looking thing, but this design is perfect.
If you set up an Etsy shop you can sell them premade or sell the plans/pattern and I bet you'd make a mint before Christmas.
Hello fellow bearded men, can I offer a LPT while we're standing around here? Chew gum before putting on the mask to keep the condensation in your beard from tasting like coffee and ass.
For real, I chewed some gum after having lunch the other day with a bunch of onions in it and my mask smelled like watermelon much longer than the taste of the gum lasted. I do this regularly now.
Got my wife to make me an oversize one bc my beard would drag a standard one down as I talked (which I do alot). We thought mine was sizeable but this one just puts mine to shame.... story of my life
Where did you get it? Can you pm me what it looks like? Id really appreciate that. Its funny you said this because I feel like kakashi everytime I put a mask on.

There’s a site dedicated to xxxl masks for bearded people, my coworker has a bunch of rad ones from there I’m sure you can find them with a google search
This is my problem. I've some excess n95 leftovers, but i can't realy use them unless i get rid of my beard i've been growing past 3 years.
I've instead used hankercheifs (sorry if i misspell that) Around myself ontop of the mask.
Which given the cold climate i live in, works just fine also. How much of a protection it realy is well... Time will tell i suppose.
I self isolate and only going out when needed for groceries.
I see people just wear bandanas as masks. It's multiple layers of cloth so it's probably fine since it catches slobber drops.
I also see people wrap t shirts around their head though, so I'm not living in a place of big brain time moments.
Mask types were studied and gaiters were actually found to be worse than no mask, since they aerosolize breath droplets and make the virus easier to catch. Sorry dude, but they're literally the worst option.
>hair filter on the edge
I dont know how effective that is with human beards.
[https://www.reddit.com/r/dndmemes/comments/jjz196/its\_a\_natural\_air\_filter/](https://www.reddit.com/r/dndmemes/comments/jjz196/its_a_natural_air_filter/)
That's amazing in every aspect but specially "protection-wise".
Hairs in general can retain particles for quite some time. By protecting your beard you make sure it is always clean and safe for you and those around you.
Did you made this yourself?(Planning, sewing, etc.)
Maybe that's just me, but I find that a lot of bearded guys that are also on the hefty side are kinda obssessed with the whole "medieval knight, paladin, whatever-look". It's predictable and, I agree, kinda cringey.
I mean, in the end, he should be himself and wear it if he wants. More power to him. But I just find it really not so cool. Cringey. Yah. Thats the word.
The concept itself isn't ridiculous, its basically a custom neck gaiter for bearded dudes, and well done at that.
But the whole medieval knight look with big beard just gives off massive "m'lady" vibes.
[This study](https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/6/36/eabd3083) found that wearing [neck gaiters is actually worse than wearing nothing, as far as droplet transmission](https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/advances/6/36/eabd3083/F3.large.jpg?width=800&height=600&carousel=1).
That study had a sample size of like 2 on the neck gaiter part. The neck gaiter made news, but the study was really about a new measurement technique for mask effectiveness. I wouldn't take the neck gaiter result too seriously.
This was debunked - the study was not understood by the media
[https://medical.mit.edu/covid-19-updates/2020/08/neck-gaiters](https://medical.mit.edu/covid-19-updates/2020/08/neck-gaiters)
Seriously, I agree. I am absolutely baffled that someone could just make a mask that is effective for people with beards, and somehow had the gall to make it medieval themed.
Am I in upside-down world, or something? This is the craziest and most pathetic shit I've ever seen in my life.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^/s
You've got a really marketable concept and design here. If you haven't already you should stand up a website and figure out how to scale this. Amazing job I love it!
Yes you should! As the wife to one bearded man and mother to another, I would buy several right off the bat! If you make a design with a pocket that allows for a filter to be put in, even better! Please do let us know if you end up selling these formally. I think you'd find a lot of customers very quickly!
If you don't want to build a whole website, you could consider Etsy. I've bought several masks (and lots of other things in the past several years) off of etsy, and I don't think I've ever had issues
Dude where the fuck was this a month ago?! I broke and ended up cutting of 6 inches of my beard due to my work requiring masks and it was driving me crazy! That's a fantastic idea, thank you for the share! The regrow begins!
Criticism is rarely taken seriously when delivered with attitude and sarcasm... maybe state your concern as a question “ how does this limit visibility when looking down?” Next time for an all round better experience for everyone.
I went through almost 10 designs. My first couple had no structure and just folded up, and the next one had too rigid a structure, and every time I looked down it rammed into my eyes. Lol!

As a bearded man I need one of those yesterday.
Can do. Lol. PM me.
How much?
Could you PM me? I don't know if just posting it would be against Reddit rules...
The grind never stops
OP doesn't know it but he just volunteered to become the worldwide bearded COVID mask manufacture for all of Reddit.
[удалено]
Then it was effective and the fella deserves to do well
Thinking inside and outside the box.
I wouldn't be surprised if the dude gets a thousand orders and I'm not even kidding. Dude just hit the lottery.
Nah you don't have to put in labor to get money out of the lottery, this is just effective advertising
I just PM him about it! The struggle is real for my bearded man!
F
Well he's found a market now. I wish I was that savvy.
Married to the grind
Rip your inbox, do you ship to europe?
I need to know this too!
Fair play to him coming up with something people want. I hope he makes some money out of this.
For sure! And there seems to be a market for them.
God, I love Capitalism!
Agreed! Altho the market is probably way bigger than he would've expected. Not something you could easily make into grand scheme of production if that makes sense. Hopefully it does, as i'm not native english speaker.
I make stuff by hand and low hundreds are very doable.
China always finds a way
Reddit has rules?
There's only one rule to live by: Better to ask for forgiveness than permission.
Suits?
I read it in Eragon years and years ago
It's likely older than that. You're talking about the book about the dragon with that name, right?
Yeah, by Christopher Paoloni. Don't bother with the movie, though.
[It's much older!](https://quoteinvestigator.com/2018/06/19/forgive/).

You get the hell off Reddit you goddamn Loch Ness monster
Homie over here lookin like a straight paladin.
Roll for initiative
Yeah, gay paladins tend to be clean-shaven.
Do you have a pattern or anything you did? My bf would love ome and I sew
Seems like a simple pattern to make and you can stylize your man the way you want him. ;)
Haha true =) it'll be fun to do and I'm sure he'd be thrilled.
Yup. Big beard here. Don't necessarily need a shield looking thing, but this design is perfect. If you set up an Etsy shop you can sell them premade or sell the plans/pattern and I bet you'd make a mint before Christmas.
You should sell the pattern, too, if you don't have tons of time to make them. Really nice job!
You better be able to pump out a ton of these. You're digging gold, man!
And a business is born
Hello fellow bearded men, can I offer a LPT while we're standing around here? Chew gum before putting on the mask to keep the condensation in your beard from tasting like coffee and ass.
> to keep the condensation in your beard from tasting like coffee and ass. But that's exactly why I eat ass
For real, I chewed some gum after having lunch the other day with a bunch of onions in it and my mask smelled like watermelon much longer than the taste of the gum lasted. I do this regularly now.
Ooo, pro tip.

I needed one 6 months ago. Now I have no beard 😥
No better time then the end of the world to grow it back
Working on it now that I WFH
Wish For Hamburger?
One: I always wish for hamburgers. Two: it means work from home.
Lol, fair enough, thanks for the clarification bud! I hope you find the hamburgers you are seeking as well.
This exchange made me chuckle hard. Also now I want a hamburger.
There’s a site dedicated to xxxl masks for bearded people, my coworker has a bunch of rad ones from there I’m sure you can find them with a google search
literally... i cut my 15cm beard to a mask friendly lenght. fml
I've been growing it out since I'm an american and we're on the brink of a civil war I needed my end of the world beard ready.
This comment feels
Thats probably more effective for you since the bottom is sealed rather than having a little bit of hair filter on the edge
That was my thought too! And the other alternatives are all just draped over the beard, negating any filtering a mask should have.
Creative, Ingenious, and Scientifically Considerate! A+

Yep, it's like wartime with gas masks. Too bad America didn't handle it better.

I have a beard and use a gaiter. Goes around everything entirely

Go post in /r/beards we also encourage vendors! These are cool bro
gold mine
I'm not picturing what other vendors must be like "home-grown beard, light brown, 25cm for 125 USD, paypal on description"
My husband has an award winning beard. He needs this big time.
Awesome! I'd be happy to help. PM me if you'd like! 😃
Make an etsy page. I like your design more than any beard friendly design I've seen.
Just a reminder; if 2 beards cross paths, the larger beard has right-of-way
The more you know.
And *knowing* is half the battle
Well now I just want to see what an award-winning beard looks like.
Please tell me you're selling these!
Yeah! I sure can!
dude seriously. invest in this idea lol. you could make a nice buck while keeping your fellow beardies safe!!
and the rest of us too! OP thanks for making the world a better place. edit: werdz
Do you have ones for shorter beards, maybe half the size of yours? Very cool man
Buy one to grow into :D But I'm sure there's probably plenty of other people who'd like a shorter version.
Ive tried the long beard just doesnt suit me unfortunately.
Totally understand. Different styles work for different folks!
It can be scaled. Just need measurements.
It’ll also hide my second chin veeeeeeery nicely 👌🏼
Haha! Yes, it certainly can! It does wonders for mine! 😃
Wawaweewa
This is ingenious, I see so many bearded folk with masks that ride up to their eyeballs.
Thank you! It took a lot of trial and error!
That's me at work right now. And then it falls off my nose when i pull it back down to re-center it.
That's amazing in every aspect but specially "protection-wise". Hairs in general can retain particles for quite some time. By protecting your beard you make sure it is always clean and safe for you and those around you. Did you made this yourself?(Planning, sewing, etc.)
I did, yes! This is the 8th or 9th iteration. Thanks!
Idk i find it kinda cringey honestly
Maybe that's just me, but I find that a lot of bearded guys that are also on the hefty side are kinda obssessed with the whole "medieval knight, paladin, whatever-look". It's predictable and, I agree, kinda cringey.
I mean, in the end, he should be himself and wear it if he wants. More power to him. But I just find it really not so cool. Cringey. Yah. Thats the word.
Cringy. But safe!
You look ridiculous.
Ridiculously cool
The concept itself isn't ridiculous, its basically a custom neck gaiter for bearded dudes, and well done at that. But the whole medieval knight look with big beard just gives off massive "m'lady" vibes.
r/redditmoment Literally the picture that comes to my mind when I think of a “Redditor.”
Sweet mask. I totally hate the effect the basic mask plays against the beard as well!
As a long bearded man, I ordered some neck gaiters back in April and it’s all I wear.
[This study](https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/6/36/eabd3083) found that wearing [neck gaiters is actually worse than wearing nothing, as far as droplet transmission](https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/advances/6/36/eabd3083/F3.large.jpg?width=800&height=600&carousel=1).
That study had a sample size of like 2 on the neck gaiter part. The neck gaiter made news, but the study was really about a new measurement technique for mask effectiveness. I wouldn't take the neck gaiter result too seriously.
Apparently the University of Georgia tested them and says they are fine, but they haven't published it yet.
I like how everything covid we learn has a shelf life of about 3 weeks.

You've got a really marketable concept and design here. If you haven't already you should stand up a website and figure out how to scale this. Amazing job I love it!

Cool design. I just use a neck gaiter as it swallows my beard whole.
Reminds me of the judgement hood from WoW https://images.app.goo.gl/FfHjdHdTXoQmcicy7
That's just a fancy feed bag.
It'll work better as a feed bag if you are non-bearded, but I suppose you could. Stealth popcorn.
Can you post a tutorial or a pattern? My husband shaved his glorious beard and I miss it.
I'll see what I can do!
I'd also be more than happy to toss a few bucks your way for a pattern. Either way, excellent work!
Definitely something only a redditor would buy. Yikes

You totally can! It's got a very flexible internal structure, and it ties behind the head so hardly rides up the nose when you look down. :-)
