The Makana story
In 2017, while on a medical mission to Asia, Makana Masks founder David Mathews, MD, observed cyclists and pedestrians using ineffective paper surgical masks to protect themselves from badly polluted air. He also saw streets strewn with discarded masks on their way to landfills or the ocean. Inspired, he set out to design a comfortable, reusable face mask that would fully protect the wearer against pollution, industrial pollutants, and viruses.
After a dozen iterations, the Makana Mask was born. Today, Makana Masks are available in two sizes, with two filter options, and with unlimited possible colors and patterns.

“I chose this mask for its N95 status to ensure the highest safety in doing tasks that require filtration. It’s comfortable, easy to put on, and fits well. This is the best mask to have around to protect myself from inhaling airborne particles with woodwork/handiwork/painting. ”

“I bought this mask as an N95 mask for my son to wear when he helps my husband with construction projects like sanding and staining. I had no idea how important this mask would be. My husband wore this mask to protect his lungs while he tried to save our house from a brush fire. The firemen were all asking him about it when they arrived. The only problem was that the medium was a little small on a grown man. I will be ordering a larger size for sure.”

“Product fits my face well and has easy breathability. Comfortable to sleep wearing on a plane and also used it while painting my room. Easy to wash and dries well (maintains its shape). Filter change is simple. I live in Los Angeles and when I remove the filter to replace it I can see everything the filter caught instead of it going into my body.”

“I have sensory issues, and most masks are a) too tight like being attacked by a facehugger from “Alien” or b) need constant adjusting. This one has memory foam on the areas that touch your face and adjustable straps. Also the frame part is super flexible and helps the mask mold to your face. The padding can get sweaty if it’s hot out, which feels like I’m just asking for acne. It’s washable tho, and you can also wipe it down with alcohol. Overall I HIGHLY recommend!”

“Purchased this N95 mask for house projects, wanted something reusable and sustainable to replace our throw-away masks full of chemicals we probably shouldn’t be breathing/aren’t great for environment. This mask is built with materials that feel secure, non-toxic, and reusable for the long haul. It is surprisingly flexible, doesn’t feel constricted in any way for someone sensitive to that. Would recommend. I suggest size Large as a tall woman or man as the Medium was a bit small.”
