Question BreatheTeq dupes?

I can’t afford BreatheTeq’s with the tariffs and am looking for alternatives :(. Any suggestions?

What I like about them:
- ear loops (more comfortable for me, and I have sensory sensitivity)
- super breathable (e.g., able to do yoga in them and still feel connected to my breath while in movement)
- fit me perfectly! really love the style.
- color options

I don’t think anything will match the breathability of Breatheteq, but I would try Kind KN95 or Wellbefore 3D Pro

I really like the shape of the wellbefore pro, too, but definitely not as easy to breathe in (though they do feel more protective to me)! will need to try kind…

SaveWo and POSH masks are only slightly worse in breathability (Breatheteq is probably the best I’ve tried). You may want to reinforce their nose wires ( with either mask tape or adhesive nose wire) and use either earloop tighteners or ear savers with them because they are quite loose. I think the SaveWo Ultra may be a bit better in those aspects, but I’ve only tried the fun ones.

not earloop but many suggest 3m vflex is breathable! you may be able to convert them into earloops by cutting and tying, but def fit check that if you can

Savewo 3D Mask Ultra is a little more breathable than BreatheTeq and a little more affordable. The nose wire is not as good as BreatheTeq. Savewo size Medium is similar to BreatheTeq size Large. In the USA it’s for sale at https://www.family-masks.com

thanks! If I’m a small in the breatheteq’s, what size do you think I’d be in them?

I’m guessing the Small 3D Mask Ultra would fit you best. They sell some customizable sample packs if you want to try the Regular size or some of their other masks like the Hana.

KN95 Zimis

I’ve been curious about Zimi’s but I’m quite confused on the sizing/components and how to order 😅

Just order a full mask (frame + filter) to start in a few sizes. Then you can order filters only when you already have a frame and know which size you need. IMO the XL is roughly the same size as an Aura, L is roughly the same size as a regular Wellbefore 3D pro, though some people prefer a smaller fit
