The Narwall Mask is a full-face respirator with inhale and exhale filters. Narwall's filters are made in the USA with material tested by Nelson Labs to >99.997% VFE (viral filtration efficiency). Narwall is registered with the FDA for use in COVID.
UK tier 4 don't have a chance ;-) Congrats.
ps. What if someone behind me start sneeze behind me back straight to this pipe? :-)

@farynaio I know you're kidding, but it's filtered ;-)
(otherwise, yeah, the fact that even people talking/coughing/sneezing into your face don't so much as dirty your inhale filter is a big plus).

Hey Product Hunt!
I left my job at Stripe back in April and have been working on Narwall full-time since. It's my first time building a physical product, so it's been a real labor of love!
Super proud of the end result, even if it looks a little odd βΒ I genuinely believe it's the most protective consumer mask on the market today (amongst those that have exhale filters, which traditional full-face respirators don't).
Really rewarding to see how much of a difference it makes for the people who need it βΒ for older folks and/or those with risk factors, Narwall has been a game-changer.
We actually launched a month ago with a shopify storefront and a piece in the Baltimore Sun[0] which quickly got picked up in the Washington Post[1] and Yahoo[2] as well. Needless to say, we sold out in a few days!
We're now back in stock, and excited to help keep people safe until a vaccine is widely distributed.
Here for any questions! (About the mask, what it's like to bring an e-commerce product to market in a pandemic, or anything).

Very interesting. I haven't been able to see my parents the entirety of '20 due to fears of passing along the virus to them. I'm optimistic to try this out as we enter '21 and I make more concrete plans to see them once case counts hopefully come down a bit. I also love that this has the exhale filtration.
Super excited for this. Just ordered one for each of my parents.
With the vaccines being rolled out now, there's light at the end of the tunnel. But we still have a long way to go. And with daily covid deaths in the US reaching new highs -- 3628 just yesterday π -- it's more crucial than ever to stop the spread.
Thanks for building this. Who knows how many lives you'll end up saving!
