In the world of face masks
Online Cigarettes
Store USA to prevent the spread of COVID-19, neck
gaiters have gotten a bad rap. In fact, they’re not
considered acceptable face coverings at Disney World as
well as many other places. The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention also doesn’t recommend the use of
gaiters to protect against the coronavirus, noting that
there is not enough research to recommend them at this
time.
But a new study, which has not yet been published, found
that we might have been too quick to dismiss these tube-
shaped face coverings. The study, which is from the
University of Georgia, took a protocol
Newport

researchers (who used a laser to see which masks were
best at preventing respiratory droplets from spreading)
and enhanced it to create what seems to be the first
actual face mask and neck gaiter study. For the
University of Georgia study, researchers used a 3D-
printed box that was designed to reduce air particles, a
Class 1000 clean room and a laser. The researchers had an
adult male wear four bestselling two-layer cloth face
masks from Amazon, five of the top single-layer neck
gaiters from Amazon and three multi-layer gaiters from
Mission. Each face covering was tested three times.
During testing, the subject stayed quiet for 10 seconds
and then said “stay healthy, people” five times.
The results were surprising. The researchers found that
gaiters with one layer provided a 77 percent average
reduction in respiratory droplets compared with wearing
no face mask. Two-layer face masks provided an 81 percent
reduction in respiratory droplets. And gaiters made up of
two or three layers (polyester and spandex) provided a 96
percent reduction in respiratory droplets.
“The level of protection provided by a face covering
appears to be substantially driven by the number and
quality of layers of material and not whether it’s in
the form of a gaiter or a mask, ” the study authors
wrote.
