I still maintain these masks are the best, but so much of masking comes down to face shape - especially if it's fogging your glasses. For reference, I had the same problem and these masks (when using tightening clip around back of head, not just over the ears) solved the problem completely.

Thanks, I'll take a look.

Yeah, that's the "trifold" style I was talking about. I buy mine here. They have them with either head straps or ear loops. I have some of each design, using the ones with head straps if I need to keep the mask on for extended periods and ear loops if I'm going to be putting it on and taking it off repeatedly.

My biggest mask problem is finding one that doesn't exhale out of the top, which fogs my glasses.

(My eyes are bad enough that glasses are non-negotiable. They can't make contacts strong enough to match my prescription.)

In a world where no one is masking against disease, I think you can ethically argue it's acceptable to wear an N95 exhalation valve - like this - that will also keep your glasses from fogging.
