Looking for a breathable mask

Can anyone recommend a mask like the one below---but breathable?



This is a Vogmask. I tried one, but I felt like dying after 10 minutes of cycling.

I have also tried Hoo Rags, which are actually both comfortable and breathable, but I don't like the fact how I have to pull them to the top of my head (balaclava style) in order to get them to stay on my face while riding.

Are you looking for warmth or for particulate capture?

Definitely the latter. There is simply too much junk floating in the air from the trees around here as I ride.

It looks like it's very effective against space invaders.

Maybe something like the 3M 8210 industrial Respirator?

Those quality paper masks are available at any hardware or big box building supply. My mother has severe allergies and gets some relief wearing those during peak pollen. But if your not allergic.... that tree "junk" is all natural. Even the bugs that smash against our teeth... are all a part of nature. [h=1][/h]

exhalation vale is recommended:From there website-
"The proprietary 3M™ Cool Flow™ Exhalation Valve reduces heat build-up inside the respirator to help keep the wearer more comfortable. it's adjustable noseclip and cushioning nose foam help provide a custom fit with secure seal and reduces potential for eyewear fogging. These features help promote greater worker acceptance and may help increase wear time." They are what I use because they won't fog glasses.

Does the mask come with the other accessories in the picture?
