Are those adjustable? It's hard to tell, even on their site.
Ah, I found their sizing diagram:
Too big for me! I guess I have a tiny face.
We had a friend making cloth masks for $5, so we got some school logo stuff. Then got some of the PM2.5 filter inserts from Amazon.
We got the Headly apron ones. Probably will buy more. We also got a cheap pack of cotton ones from amazon but the apron ones are pretty nice, fit well for us, and have space if you want to add a filter.
The elastic is NOT adjustable though.
The Hedley ones look nice. Do they have a tag saying where they were made? The website doesn't really say.

From website on FAQs about masks.... LA, Asia, and South America.
Masks have a tag on inside but it just lets you put your name on it.
Looks like they have added some new styles though that have two ties.
@Jayhawker Those H&B masks look very well done.
My wife ordered something similar (link when she wakes up), and the biggest thing for her was the nose wire (running from bridge of nose to chin) that keeps it off of the mouth area.
I felt lucky when we got a box of the blue surgical masks at the beginning of all this.
They are comfortable and easy to wear for short periods of time (quick grocery visits,etc).
I sat in a doctors office for about 90 minutes with one on and it was not terrible, but it wasn't great.

Something to consider is something like this if you are having fit issues.
Teresa actually made a few when she made my mask, as our daughter, Jo, was having issues with the strings on her ears. Those were just some strips with buttons sewn on to change how tight they are.
I grabbed one off Redbubble with the Umbrella Corporation logo.
Yeah one of the ones we got is kind of tight on my ears, so much so that it was making my glasses slide off a bit. My wife suggested one of those things around the back.
My mom is getting on a plane tomorrow night from Columbus, OH to Sarasota, FL.
She is 72 and she is travelling with her companion who is 78.
He has business in FL, some rental properties being remodeled that he wants to be there for, etc., and they had originally planned on driving, but the tickets were, of course, dirt cheap. She said the flight is mostly empty and social distancing seating and masks are required.
They had been basically quarantined since the beginning, but they relaxed their personal restrictions during the recent "soft open" of Ohio restaurants and such. They have been to restaurants. They have had friends over for dinner, and they have had friends over to enjoy the swimming pool in this awful heat. I have no idea what social distancing they used, but you can't wear a mask while you are eating.
While she is gone, I will be house/dog sitting for her, and I was planning on getting there early to at least see her and give her an air-hug, and an air-kiss.
I haven't seen or hugged my mom in like four months and I am really, really worried now that that might be the last time I see her. So I am having some pretty difficult issues with even seeing her tomorrow.
That sucks, sorry to hear. I am in Columbus too and I can’t imagine what would make me go eat in a restaurant right now, even more so if I were 70. I have had a couple of meals outdoors on patios but if I am inside anywhere I am wearing a mask.
I hope she stays safe but heading to a hotspot and being cavalier about it is a bad recipe! Crossing my fingers for you.
Thank you, LG.
I have been vigilant, but my wife (also vigilant) has had contact with her sisters, brothers and parents somewhat recently, so there is just no way I am going to even breathe in (edit: moms) direction, even with a hazmat suit on.

Hang in there. That's rough, and I don't really no what to say. I have lots of relatives who would unfortunately do the same.
I'm still feeling fine, so I have no idea what I had. Partner hasn't had similar symptoms, so... *shrug*. We'll continue to completely quarantine in the house here for the next couple weeks.
I did find out today that I can get HUB to deliver amazing beer to the house. Ordered $150 (that includes the 20% tip) worth of beer, and it all showed up today. So, I won't be running out of beer at least.
Thanks, tuff.
Wow, you have it made with Hub!
Mom did tell me that there is a big package of not just beer brats in the freezer, but IPA brats!
Man I used to live in Sarasota. But I'm glad I'm not there now. Things have been sh*t in Florida. Wouldn't go anywhere near that. Sorry, mg.
Thank you, Stele.
He could have gone alone, but she chose to go with.
She was struggling with being cooped up and wanted to get away I guess.
I would have been fine with them just going to his home (driving) in Sarasota, with a pool and all the such and such, and they could quarantine there just as easily as Ohio.
Thanks, tuff.

Bet you are hopping up and down with excitement.
Vector, I could barley contain myself.
Quick update:
I didn't see mom before she left tonight.
She has arrived "safely" in Sarasota.
She called from the departing airport (the smaller Rickenbacker, in Columbus, where Allegiant flies from) and said the seats in the waiting-to-board area were packed, no social distancing. She found a place on the edges to stand with some other folks that were wearing masks and were keeping six feet apart.
Our two week complete quarantine is done ever since I had a 102 degree fever and then nothing the following day. It was very strange to not go running or leave the house for groceries for two whole weeks. Very surreal.
Probably wasn't Covid but was still weird. At least shouldn't spread what I had got.
I've been sewing them for myself and my family/friends. I've had people suggest I sell them, but I'm not yet.
Does anyone have recommendations for fast food restaurants and fast casual during the pandemic?
Our 8 year old loves Chic Fil-A and luckily their COVID protocol is top notch; they don't handle your credit card, they bring your food in a bin and everyone is masked.
Similarly, Five Guys offers contactless curbside with the food delivered to your car in a bin.
However, from what I can see from the other popular drive thru chains, they appear to be offering minimal to no added protections, but I also haven't tried them to confirm.
Anyone good or negative experiences in this realm?
Where are you located?

Do you live somewhere that does delivery? Delivery introduces a lot of the protections you'd need.

We do those 2 and Chipotle almost every week lately. Chipotle order from the app and then you just pick it up at the door and walk right out, and everyone seems to wear masks there.
Otherwise I check DoorDash for some local places and usually get either pizza or burgers from those once a week.
I can't think of any other national chains I've been to lately though, sorry.

Culvers has done pretty well in MN and WI as far as I have seen. Some are drive thru only and a few seem to have some dine in.
COVID protocol quality is largely going to track with their pre-pandemic service quality. Places that were well run will likely do well, places that weren't well run back then aren't about to start now.
