Full-Surface Filtering
The entire surface of the textile portion of the BendShape™ mask employ an American-made filter with a 95% filtration efficiency (42CFR, Part84) (0.3 microns @10 cm/s) that is light (0.9 osy, 30 gsm), malleable, and breathable. Considering that a gap as small as 0.1mm in a mask’s seal can reduce its filtration efficiency by ~14%, masks with comparable but removable filters that only cover a portion of the wearer’s face are more likely to experience degraded filtration performance [1].

A ShapeFit You Can See & Feel
A mask’s effective filtration is a function of both materials and fit. BendShape Mask provides a breathable ShapeFit seal that you can see and feel as your mask gently expands and contracts with each breath. ShapeFit seal was engineered to hold during dynamic facial motion. A seal that moves with your face is paramount as a <1mm gap can undermine filtration performance [1]. ShapeFit starts with an enlarged sealed area that extends from the bridge of your nose to your ears and under your chin allowing users more freedom to smile, speak, sing, or shout. Our textile manufacturing process allows us to embed extra, mobile layers of material and functional supports which follow the motion of your chin. Our design process rests on capturing faces in motion and testing our mask’s fit during speech and a range of facial expressions.
Our proprietary facial-scanning-to-technical-embroidery production pipeline enables a rapidly expanding set of standard mask sizes fueled by a growing database of sensed facial variation across the human population.
Today, we offer BendShape masks in 3 sizes: Large, Medium and Small. BendShape Masks are sized from the tip of the nose to the bottom of the chin. See below.
Be Social & Personal
The general purpose BendShape masks were engineered to allow you to be social and personally expressive. Our masks were built from the ground up with communication in mind. The BendShape masks are designed to sit off of your face and employ high quality filter fabrics that improve your voice’s elocution and resonance. Our masks resist losing fit during dynamic facial motion so you can laugh and chat without having to constantly readjust your mask. The BendShape™ transparent mask takes our commitment to a truly social general purpose mask even further. The mask lets you share smiles and allow others to see your lips move while you speak.
Breath Freely
BendShape masks are built to maximize breathability by creating air space between your face and your mask. The masks and employ high quality filters that are surprisingly airy. Combined with our all-day comfortable, soft, and colorful elastic head straps, BendShape masks re a great workout companion that can keep up with you on a run, or a sprint to catch your flight. BendShape masks' fit and comfort make it ideal to wear in public.
