It doesn't fit quite as well as I'd hoped. But they're beautiful, and feel very sturdy. I'm going to wash it a couple times to see if it becomes a little more moldable.
Thomas E W.
Great face concerning. Lots of compliments about the mask. Highly recommend these masks to anyone wanting a mask

This mask fits well, doesn't make my ears sore, and gets lots of compliments. I bought a second set! When I need better protection than cloth I use it to hold on an N95 or KN95. I get a better seal around the edges, it looks better, and it doesn't hurt my ears like the N95 alone.
DJ F.
Second purchase of these masks for me...Only mask I have that actually gets compliments... with this second purchase, I can give them as gifts to good friends who compliment me about them. Next time I see the friend...they "gush" with compliments. These guys... (sorry)...ladies got a good thing going...DJ
David B.
I really like the mask. The only problem I see with it, is I got one for my wife and she is petite so the straps are to long to secure on her face. We will just add a little more Velcro so she can snug it up.
DJ F.
The best...Completely covers, adjustable back straps and the only mask I have that gets compliments...Fair price...quick delivery...good cause...I need to get another two-pack to give to friends...DJ

I mostly love this mask, especially the actual mask portion. The hook-and-loop straps...honestly, I hate them. I had to take a lighter to the edges the first day, so that wasn't a great start. But I've found putting it on and taking it off is more difficult than my mask with a basic "string" strap (similar head and neck strap, not ear loops -- I really despise ear loops). Again, the mask itself is awesome, the design keeps the mask portion away from your lips, and keeps my glasses fog free. But the straps...ick.
Robert P.
Very comfortable to wear all day. Also very stylish. Not as easy to take on and off as typical masks, but definitely more comfortable. Good multilayered design.
Definitely recommend.
Thomas T.
I have'nt worn it much. It seems to fit nice but with the velcro straps seem to be good only if you are going to wear it for a stretch.
Lance C.
This is a repeat order. This is my favorite mask. It fits tightly around nose and under chin, yet the middle stays away from nose to allow comfortable breathing. Can wear this mask for long stretches. Thank you.
Kathleen A D.
I wear dual hearing aids and glasses. Masks are truly a pain. Decided to give this mask a try. Took some adjustment to figure how it works best for me. I truly like the top and "neck" strap. Even more that there is the flap on top and the bottom to assist cover over some missing area. I truly enjoy these masks and its fitting. I am considering order another set with "CLEAR MASK"
Gina S.
well worth the money and love giving to worthy cause
Marcia G.
Well made and beautiful.
Best for average size face
Frank W.
The straps are adjustable however, they hold the mask in a fixed position (they have no stretch) so they must be "unstrapped" to gain access to drink or food.
Ginger T.
A friend posted about getting her new face mask from Backpack Buddha, and it sounded so nice, I immediately took a look myself. It looked like a great mask, with an environmentally-responsible manufacturer, so I ordered our own. Yes, this is a nice, large, comfortable mask, with hook-and-loop closures that go around your head, not on your ears. The mask unfolds to a nice comfortable fit around your face, without pinching, and the design keeps that fog away from my glasses. It's also made from lovely patterned cloth, for a completely different look.
Heidi A.
Bought these on the recommendation of a friend. The quality is terrific and I love the idea of supporting small local businesses, but just didn't work at all for my face.
Tami B.
Does not make glasses fog up! I took straps off, they don't work well and added elastic ear piece, now they are perfect!
Daniel R.
I love the design. Was actually able to use it with the lower strap only, so I cut the upper strap off.
Jose Y.
They are both very good looking. My problem is that since I have a beard they are on the small side. Also since I have limited use of one of my arms they are hard to put on. But both of these items do not take away from the quality and great look of your product.
Nancy B.
I really like the straps. They are quick to fasten and they don't slip. I wear hearing aids behind the ear and masks with ear loops tend to pull them off when I remove the mask. I lost a hearing aid this way, so no more ear loops for me. I do find that unless I am very careful about getting the mask placed "just so" that it tends to cling to my face. I'm learning how to pull the front of the mask out every time I put it on, and that helps.
David B.
Very nice design Fits well. The only issue I have is the velcro on the lower strap. To have it fit properly, only a portion of the velcro matches up... so the rest of the velcro is exposed. It scratches against my skin. They should come up with another fastener for the lower strap... ties?
STEPHANIE D.
Bought these for my husband who prefers the straps rather than over the ear. It fits well with good coverage and snug nose fit.
Larry K.
I found the masks to be too small to cover my nose and go under my chin.
Ed C.
We really enjoyed the masks, although they are a bit thick (material-wise), so I find I feel a bit warm. But my sister and her partner thought they were cool, so we bought a pair for them, too.
Sandra H.
The mask seems effective, and I like the design and fabric. It's good to have straps rather than elastic around the ears. The only difficulty I have is that the lower straps don't stay fastened--the velcro should extend further along the strap to allow for a closer fit for those of us with small heads/necks.
bruce w.
Loved it gonna order more
Jay K.
These masks are actually a work of art and extremely “covering” of all areas for safety!
Thx u so much!
I put a video on my Facebook account while wearing mask and explained the straps, and how to open cover for nose and chin/neck area!
Thxs again!

Britt C.
I wear hearing aids and the masks that hook around one's ears often yank my hearing aids out when removing the mask. Your masks have become the only masks I will use. They are great for me. Thanks so much!
Tom P.
Of all the masks I have this one
Seals around my nose the best,
Feels like it isolates my breath the best,
Allows me to whistle for my dog.
It straps behind the head rather than those darned ear loops. It's sturdy and strongly stitched.
I we have to wear masks, they might as well be good ones.
Susan A.
I bought these for my husband who wears hearing aids. He loves having the straps not interfere with his ears and is absolutely happy with that aspect. He had some trouble figuring out how to put on, especially back strap and still needs a mirror to get it “”just right.” He “tutored” a friend on how to put on after giving her a mask. Be sure to wash by hand—wire isn’t super strong.
Bernard S.
The first couple of times I put the mask on I put the straps around my neck a little tighter than they needed to be so it was a bit uncomfortable but once I figured that out it was fine. The construction and materials are very good and it makes a good tight seal. I have a little larger than average head and I couldn't find masks that adequately covered my face. These masks are the only ones I've found so far that do the trick. HIghly recommended.
Joseph B.
Everyone wants to know the website as soon as the notice the masks go with multiple outfits getting a trend going on 5 quality,
Rayne S.
Nice heavy duty mask, but light weight when wearing!
Michael H.
Love these masks! I get compliments so often! And it gives me great pleasure to know that I am supporting good causes at the same time! Guatemala holds a special place in my heart and wearing the mask reminds me of the wonderful people there.
Trish C.
I just think that the masks are beautiful, well-made and sturdy!!!
Ms L.
Bought 3 different ones and shared them with our Dr. He loved it and immediately changed to the one from you. Declared it as "Beautiful"!!!
Tom P.
They are amazing masks. Very sturdily built and the adjustable nose bridge works great. And I can whistle for my dog with it on!
Lygia S.
A friend purchased these masks and showed them to a group of us who sing in a choir. Since the pandemic we have only been able to sing with just two people, each wearing a mask. I was trying to find a mask that would give me room to move my lips and breath in without taking in some material. This mask accomplished that for me. Thank you!
Paul L.
These masks are comfortable and protective. At least three ply, and washable.
LARRY B.
Can't say I'm in love with the velcro strap setup, but they're way better than most masks on the market.
Wendy S.
This was my mask for typical trips out and about but also for a Halloween art piece. LOL. I do love the fit but also other people can actually understand what I'm saying again!
Paul L.
These masks are made of several thicknesses of fabric. The velcro on the straps holds them together. The masks are comfortable to wear, and the patterns are nice. I have four of them. I have washed them by hand and in the machine in a mesh bag on gentle cycle. They dry overnight.
Judith R.
Great.....ordered second pair and have given several friends the website. Can breath and they wash well.
Kevin R.
These masks have become my daily choice. Masks are mandated in my workplace and town, so I wear them 12+ hours per day. I get complimented on them all the time and asked where I got them. It took some time to get used to the Velcro straps (wish they were elastic) but the mask is a good fit w/o much problem with eyewear fog. I like that they can hang around my neck when not in use, so no losing them or digging them out pockets. They don’t pull down when I talk and I don’t feel smothered b/c there’s plenty of space inside.
Nancy S.
Very well made and good looking.
Sean C.
I have to wear a mask all day at work, as well as a face shield and a headset, and I have a large face and a beard. So, finding a face that fits my face, is comfortable to wear non stop for 8 hours, and works with all the other things I have to wear on my head, has been a challenge. But I LOVE this mask, I think it’s ~the one~.
The three panels make the fit so comfortable, it fits my big face, doesn’t push against my lips while talking, and isn’t itchy or uncomfortable against my beard. I like that it Velcro’s on, much faster than tying. I like that it can stay around my neck by just keeping the bottom straps connected. With the three panel design and the nose clamp, it can even be brought up from the neck and put on quickly without even having to connect the upper straps. And people love it, often asking where they can get it.
My only critique is I wish that the pattern extended onto the upper and lower panel too. But I imagine that might be difficult to engineer. So I’ll take it as is.
Overall the mask is basically perfect to me.
Elizabeth J.
Velcro on the straps is a terrible idea; there was just enough length for me to remove that and put plastic spring toggles on each set of ties to allow faster on and off and perfect adjustment; a bit more length to accommodate a knot or bead to prevent the toggles sliding off would be perfect.
I do like the space inside and adjustability of the top and bottom flaps for a one-size-fits-all solution. And love the fabrics.
Paul R.
Easy to adjust the fit, and the only mask I've worn (I have several) where people go out of their way to compliment it. (Got 2 different compliments the first day I wore it.)
Julie H.
The fabric is lovely & construction of good quality but there were some design problems for me. I had to remove the velcro from the ties as it was scratchy on my neck & caught my hair. Also the ikot fabric part of the mask is not tall enough & causes pressure across my nose
Wayne M P.
They're just too good to wear.
Robyn l.
It’s a bit stiff. A couple washes haven’t softened it much.
But the design is brilliant.
I don’t have to have irritated ears or wear a bun to hold the mask on. Perfection
Bruce K.
Very comfortable. It's great to not have pressure on the lips.
Valerie B.
These masks are comfortable to wear and fit is easily adjusted. They look fabulous, too! It would be nice if there was a pocket to add a filter. The wire nose clip keeps it very secure and reduces fog on my glasses..
Alana W.
I like how they fit. Fits over the mask I usually wear. I've gotten some compliments on them.
Brent H.
As a professional singer I’m very pleased with these masks. I can sing with ease while wearing them. They seem to be made of high quality materials as well. There are flexible metal bands inside so you can conform the mask to fit over your nose. I give them a nice thumbs up!!
Brian A.
This is my favorite mask. It fits my face nicely. It’s designed to keep the fabric off of my mouth which makes talking much more comfortable. I use only the bottom straps. I clipped the upper straps off.
Karen G.
I love these masks! Very comfortable for all day wear. Would like new fabric choices. But, I liked my first set enough to buy a second set
Karen W.
These are comfortable, well-fitting masks that dry quickly after washing and allow me to breathe easily.
Elmer W.
I really love them they are now my favorite mask.
Kaleo D.
Excellent quality. Easy to use
David R.
Mine fits too close to my lips. The one my wife uses fits her much better. She especially likes the velcro straps.
Gene D.
It’s the best mask I’ve found for fit (with the velcro bands) and for carrying on a conversation. Unlike other masks, my BackpackBuddha mask doesn’t slip down as I talk. Stylish too!
Tanja L.
It is well made but the nose wire is thin and doesn't stay tight .
Brian R.
These masks are light, very comfortable and of high quality. I wan to buy more!
Adrienne L.
I like these a lot, and did make 2 modifications: I have a small head and needed to make a knot in each tie. I also found that the metal nose piece easily poked out thru the cloth so I bent each side into a loop with jewelry pliers.now perfect!
Jason L.
These masks fit great! I’ve tried numerous kinds & love how well they cover my nose & mouth. For extra security you can even put an N95 or PM2.5 in them without anyone even knowing they are inside. They look pretty cool for a mask too!
kirk M.
The end of the ties with the Velcro should be wider so it is easier to To join them.
Peter S.
Great colors. Just like my wallet!
Kathleen D.
Unable to wear as the Velcro on the straps gets Tangled in my hair and pull it out when I try to remove them
Donald A S.
Masks is light and smaller than expected.
Mark W.
I really like these masks. They fit well over the face. They look good. And I love that they support local artisans. The only thing I don't like are the Velcro straps that connect behind the head. They are a little long for me. A better option might be having strings that can be tied, allowing for more precise fit.
Thais C.
The velcro straps are taking a bit for me to get accustomed to- a little difficult to take mask off & on, but great if putting it on & wearing for long periods. The straps are awkward to adjust when mask is on, because the velcro strip is long (makes it fit wide range of sizes & it's hard to get the two sides together evenly.) The mask construction is unusual, with black fabric extensions above & below the lovely woven fabric, (also lighter than the main body of the mask) but I adjusted quickly to the difference. If you have another person to help put the upper strap back in place, it would be very fast & easy. Seem to be of good quality.
Robert A.
Well... I'm a big guy and the truth I loved the merchandise but it fit me small and a bit of trouble with the velcro strap almost not reaching the way around. Maybe if it was tie ons it will probably be better. Maybe it should be an option velcro or tie ons.
Jim H.
One minor improvement I would suggest is to add a pocket for a PM 2.5 filter
The front (patterned) section is essentially the right size, and I am able to "tuck" one in, but it would be better if there were a pocket between two layers.
Edward W.
Works fantastic with my manly facial hair, and eye glasses. Highly recommended to anyone dealing with the these issues purchase one.
Scott W.
I can fit an N95 mask inside. Makes me feel safer with both the N95 mask and this one combined.
Stephen B.
Very comfortable, minimal fogging of glasses.
James F.
These look great, and really do fit over an N95, or can be worn alone. Fully adjustable straps, unlike most others. Hip looking.
Jason W.
My favorite most comfortable mask
Tina B.
The velcro straps irritate the back of my neck. Other than that, they're awesome masks. Lovely handiwork.
Miranda T.
Great mask that sits off face very comfortable! Takes a second to adjust straps and have to redo after like taking a sip of drink. However for this 8/hr a day mask wearing teacher, I love it.
Joseph M.
Excellent design and i love the mask! One small issue is that I have an abnormally large head and the straps are not long enough for me, so I've had to add some extra Velcro to make it fit, but this is a common issue for me with one-size-fits-all items.
Ousbon B.
I love the Face covering. It leaves space for face inside the mask. Once fitted it’s very comfortable.
My struggle is with the strapping, the Velcro catches everything I wear, and the positioning of the bottom straps get confused with the top straps.
I suggest moving the attaching of the bottom straps to behind the front of the mask. Just on the inside so it clear that these are bottom and the upper straps on the outside are for the top.
Even better though would be elastic in the straps for easy on and off.
Thomas A.
The most comfortable "Behind the head" mask I have right now, and probably one of the most comfortable overall. It filters well, but the "air pocket" means you don't notice it as much as you do closer-fitting masks, all while staying sealed on the top and bottom. The top seal is great, and definitely the best "for glasses" design I've seen.
My only complaint, which is minor, is that the straps have no elastic in them at all, which can make it a bit difficult to adjust properly without being too tight on the neck or too loose on the head.
Penny K.
I really like how the masks fit my face. They feel very secure and face forming and don’t fog my glasses. The double straps make it complicated to get on and off. I thought I would prefer having a strap that did not go around my ears but I would prefer ear straps after using this with the lower strap attaching as it does around my neck so it stays around my neck if I can remove it. I love the colors and workmanship though, quite lovely!
Katryna T.
I have 6 now! Love them so very much. I am a counselor who needs to talk. I also wear glasses! No muffled sound and no fogged glasses.
Roger C.
Excellent product!
Jennifer G.
Very comfortable and easy to put on.
Betsy M.
I bought 2 sets and my husband claimed all but 1. He lives the fit and it doesn’t move when he talks
Lisa N.
Love that the middle of the mask doesn’t touch my face. The fasteners on the straps are Velcro.
Inon S.
Great mask, feels very sturdy and I think it'll last very long time. Looks great and very comfortable. It fits with my beard, that's a big plus.
Mike F.
Our masks took a little bit to get to us. They are quality masks that fit well and are adjustable. They look good too. Keep getting compliments!
Sharon F.
I love these because they have space in the mask. I also like them because my glasses don’t fog up I have that problem with a lot of other masks
Sean D.
The masks look great and are very well made. The shape keeps the mask away from direct contact with your mouth and nostrils, which makes it much easier to speak and breathe while wearing it than many other styles of mask. My only complaint is that I have a large head, and the straps are not long enough for me to securely fasten the mask. I gave the masks to my wife and son, and they love them.
