I am trying to get filters for my neo-mask , but most of online links says "Out of Stock". I even tried to go BOTs couple of times and i dont think they are getting that anytime sooner. Any clue where else i can get ?

I don't want to buy a brand new mask again just for sake of filters. I wish we could do mask at home ;-) ( DIY kind )

Also, Any BBC reviews on new Dettol mask being sold for 599 on amazon ?

Thanks and Regards

Don't buy neo mask. It's a cruel rip off. Buy a 3M mask on Amazon, much cheaper and effective

Cruel ripoff...? I have been using it for a few years and can vouch for its effectiveness.

3M might be cheaper and better, but that doesn't mean neomask is a ripoff. There was a blog (shared here earlier) that compared different masks and neomask was one of the better ones...

Check procycle (Indiranagar and Koramangala) for replacement masks. Masks were also available on eBay, but there used to be no option to select size

"Cruel ripoff" was just my opinion sir. I found the 1.2k price tag quite expensive. The Nexcare 3M mask that I've been using for a while now, is just about Rs 175.

I have used Neo mask, Autofurnish anti pollution mask and now the 3M.
The nose clamp on my Neo mask broke and I had to look for a new mask. But as long as I used it, I had no complaints, it worked very well.

I bought The autofurnish mask, and it was the worst of the lot.

Although the 3M mask doesn't have the air vents, it is quiet breathable. That being said, it doesn't compromise on filtering the smoke or dust. I have ridden behind a BMTC Volvo, that blows up dust from the road, mixed with smoke, it still held up pretty well. Not much fogging my riding glasses as well. The elastic straps that are used to wear the mask, my sister says, are not tough enough, they snapped in her case. I have been using it longer than her, and is still fine.

By the way, I am referring to the nexcare mask linked below.
