Anyone using an allergy mask?

After riding my 8-mile round-trip commute a couple of days this week, I am barely functional today, even after an Allegra, Flonase, Zaditor, and Sudafed, each attacking different symptoms. The air is thick with pollen, and aerobic exercise pulls so much of this into my lungs and sinuses. Yuck.

I have seen masks for sale that are supposedly designed for outdoor exercise just like this, but does anyone here have any real world experience and recommendations? I have some disposable N95 masks left over from last year's wildfire season, so I'll give those a try next week, but I'm a little worried about air flow and my glasses fogging up at stoplights. Thoughts? TIA
