adult mask recommendations for very sweaty/hot situation

[Kestrel]

Can anyone recommend adult masks for very sweaty/hot situations? I am looking at a temp job in a kitchen where it's going to be both scary hot and massive steam/humidity. I'm talking dripping sweaty mess. I have only cloth masks that I don't think will work, I'm thinking maybe disposables? Any help/hints would be great!

ETA: I am concerned the surgical masks will come apart when wet - do they?

I’d give the disposable blue surgical masks a try

I agree, I've worked for extended periods of time in hot/ humid situations and think the disposable surgical style masks would be the best for what you describe.

Yup, I agree with the disposable surgical masks.

Agree with disposable. These are $1.99 for 50 today and well reviewed - worth a try. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B086JH7S7Q?sa-no-redirect=1.

Another vote for the surgical masks with several backups so you can swap out for a dry one when things get super hot and humid.

I did order some of the linked ones above - thank you.

I've never gotten one terribly wet but they feel very strong. I can't imagine it doing so. It is not at all like a napkin or a paper towel. The paper is very durable.

Yes, as someone stuck in the 80+ degree patient wound for a graft patient with full battle gear on, disposable masks are the way to go. I don’t even notice I’m wearing the mask.

I’d go disposable too, and change them out as much as needed.
