If you or somebody you know is a healthcare professional, this is a giveaway you might want to enter!
As a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic N95 Respirators and Surgical Masks/Face Masks are in great demand and short supply which has led to people using them longer than they should and reusing ones that should have been discarded.
In response to this, Crooked Brook has developed the N95RM1; a reusable N95 Respirator Mask – Surgical Mask/Face Mask Cover that will protect and prolong the life of the wearers N95 Respirator or Surgical Mask in addition to adding another physical barrier to entry of pathogens and contaminants in the immediate environment.
The N95RM1 is made in the USA, available in one size and two types of 100% cotton gabardine fabric:
- 6.5oz., 244 thread count, 100% Supima® gabardine, black or white…$20.00 ea.
- 5.5oz., 244 thread count, 100%, long-staple Egyptian cotton gabardine, black or white…$18.00 ea.
Gabardine is a durable, tightly woven fabric with small raised diagonal ribs on the face and a smooth back.
Crooked Brook N95RM1 works best over a N95 Respirator however; it may be worn over a Surgical Mask or with one inserted into the inner pocket.
In an emergency, if the wearer does not have a N95 Respirator or a Surgical Mask/Face Mask (or for another layer of protection) we have read that a cut to shape piece of either of the following can be used as a filter that will add another physical barrier to entry of pathogens and may be inserted into the inner pocket:
- Polyester hydro knit towel such as ToolBox’s shop towel or ZEP’s industrial blue towel that can be found at automotive or hardware stores.
- Coffee filter.
However, this will not offer the same level of protection as if worn in combination with a N95 Respirator or Surgical Mask.
There are discussions online about the pros and cons of using a piece of a HEPA vacuum bag as a filter, so please do your research before inserting a cut to shape piece of one into the inner pocket.
If there are absolutely no other options, the N95RM1 can be worn by itself: Two layers of 244 thread count, 100% cotton gabardine are better than nothing.
The N95RM1 should be washed after each use.

Yes we do. This is a great giveaway. My fiance’s job is said to be essential so I worry.. ALOT.
I don’t see anyway to comment on Kim’s post but it was def funny.
I should be wearing a mask but I don’t have one. It’s been hard to come by any. I live in WA where it was one of the first states in the US to have an outbreak.
I am a using a handmade mask while out in the public.
I am high risk so I should be wearing a mask when I go to the store. They are so hard to find here
I don’t believe our city is requiring masks yet, but it is only a matter of time. And you cannot get them OR the material to make them! So what do you do????
I have been wearing a mask when I have to go out and in the condo building laundry room
We have been wearing them when we have to go in public. They are really hard to find though.
I think masks are required but I am not sure how they enforce it.. maybe denying your entry into a business.
Yes, I have to cover up if I leave the house.
I don’t have a mask because I can’t find hair ties, bandanas, or elastic — or even disposable masks. We aren’t required yet to wear masks, I don’t think. I would sure love to win this!
We are trying to be as safe as possible.
I have been using an old t-shirt for a mask. There are NO masks,gloves,hand sanitizer,rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide to be bought anywhere!!! I really don’t know how this virus is going to go away if everyday people can’t at least get masks,gloves and rubbing alcohol!!!
we are now required to wear masks
They recommend that we wear a mask and everyone is my son has a heart transplant so this is perfect for him to wear if he were to go out.
My fiance’ is a painter and he had masks but is down to the last one.
I have to wear a mask at work
I need to wear a mask when I leave the house and every single store is sold out here.
I made hand sanitizer the other day because there is none in the stores.
We are supposed to wear masks out in public but they are VERY hard to find near me.
Yes, I have been wearing one.
I cannot find any masks near where I live
Yes in NY we must wear a mask. Rumor has it I will also have to wear in the office when we return to work.
We can’t find masks here anymore sadly.
I think our governor has lost his mind.. he reopened pretty much everything here today. I am still wearing a mask because I think it is way too soon.
We are taking every precaution we can. I think this won’t be gone for awhile.
I am going to have to make another batch of hand sanitizer!
They opened up the lake here where we live. I think that was a bad idea.
I do wear a mask when going out, but going out is seldom. I have not been in a grocery or other store in about 4 weeks, as I am doing pickup or having items shipped to me.
