3 layers of protection guard against harmful particles that pose a risk to your health. With its U. S. rating of N95, the generously sized scarf is capable of blocking 99. 75% of all particles 0. 1 microns in size or larger —and 95% of all non-oil based airborne particles measuring 0. 3 microns.
With the recent addition of a nano-fiber layer, they can be washed 50 times before they begin to degrade in the slightest. They can be washed 100 times and still be the equivalent of an N95.
