greetings!!! my brothers and sisters in Christ in the world of two wheels.
i've been riding my scoot to work for almost 2 weeks na po, ok naman. ng bigla n lang akong inatake ng ubo at maratay ng 2 days.(ub0! ubo!) siguro dahil sa pollution, ano po b magandang mask? (kung my ginagamit man kayo?) o lahat ng mask e pinapasok ng usok? (unless naka gas mask. :crazy: hehehe hirap ata nun a.) share naman ng tips nyo. ride safe. ty :)

At first ayoko sa balaclava iniisip ko kasi mainit, etc. pero nung nai-try ko ok naman pala... nakaka-filter the pollution & once pawisan ka masasalo 'to nun. Para hindi mo na masyado lilinisin yung pawis ng Helm mo :cheers:

I was wondering kung meron combination ng gasmask + balaclava .... hmmm...

I have allergies and sinus propblems.

If wear a mask it helps a bit. Even if its just a hankerchief over the nose and mouth. the masks they sell at pharmacies is also good.

Wear a mask and bandana or balaclava and u wont have to clean the inside of ur helmet as much :)

tnks mga tol sa reply. yung pngpintor ginagamit ko na lang plus hanky. ride safe po.

How abuot those good looking black masks that I see around on motorcycle riders that just cover the mouth and nose area? I see them often. Does anyone know where to find them? Are they available in most bike shops? Thanks.

uy ganda nitong mask mga sirs, mapasyalan nga exceed. mukhang nakakafilter tlga. tenk yu po sa info nyo. God bless!

I think all bikers should wear filter masks especially in Metro Manila! It's no joke to have chronic lung disease and breathing problems. One could just imagine the volume of pollution coming from dilapidated vehicles (read: 99% of all PUVs, SUVs, trucks, and tricycles). Try riding with a white hanky tied to your face in your nose and mouth and after a 30 minute ride you'll see how black it is. Now multiply that by the number of times your ride and voila! Instant impurity delivered right to your nostril. :vomit:

I travel around 50 kms a day and I don't forget to wear a balaclava and at least a disposable dust filter mask (which you can buy at most hardware shops in malls @ arond P25 each; it lasts around 5 days) or even a cheap bandana wrapped around your face bandit style :W (it's about P25 also in PureGold Cubao, but this you have to wash at the end of the day). These are cheap alternatives to the real riding filter masks, but they're better than nothing. :rolleyes:

I've seen and tried on the Makoto brand but I feel that it's too expensive considering the material and non-replaceable/unwashable filter. There are other brands like HJC but they're way too expensive for the average biker (like me & you). But it all boils down to preference and your lungs. :R

I have this mask pero may problema ako..san kaya nakakabili ng holder nang filter diko kasi alam kung san nahulog yung sa akin sa sobran lakas ng hangin eh....yung kulay black sa picture..tinawagan ko naman yung exceed wala daw..baka naman may alam kayo na mabibilhan....thanks

Hi Clutch,
for the meantime, you can use the 3m masks that they sell at mercury or any drug storte. Just remove the straps. I've been using that for close to 4 months already, it's effective and darned cheaper to replace.

Really wouldn't want to gamble with my lungs specially during rush hour.

I still have the filter I just lost the thing that holds the filter.The one that is colored black in the picture.its the one that sandwich the filter and the strap..thanks
