Coronavirus lockdown and exercising outdoors

[TNT1]

I saw these - they looked like something i liked but have no reviews - i need a big size for my big pip.

The one with strap looks good. Those things that go over the ears would irritate the heck out of me after half an hour.

These are a good option.

But remember, any mask is a flow restriction device pain in the arse, so you need to make peace with that fact.

buffs are actually worse, they wick the sweat from your head down to your face hence the waterboarding effect.

 

Anatomic or similar are the way to go. Reality is a good mask has minimal effect. I have been within 20s of my 5km pb a few times in a mask so it is possible.

 

Interesting to see Sweden starting to question herd immunity a bit.

I reckon everyone is different. I've been riding with one for years in cold weather and never experienced the effect you speak of.

 

The last few weeks in warm weather was no different.

Don't masks also accumulate all the breath moisture/condensation? (head-sweats aside, just talking about breathing)

 

I've always imagined the buff was best because you can just rotate it around slightly and you get a dry area again, 20 mins later turn again, and on and on

Using a buff instead of a mask also means that you can pull it down to have a drink

Or wear it around your neck and pull it up only when near other people...

not now, only from the 1st of june, and the 5km should also be lifted according to mosts people's understanding.

I never meant now now ... lol but you get what I meant

 

Thanks

I live in the sticks on transkei coast so I ride alone all the time .

I also have no real issue with a Buff, also been riding for years with one. If it get too wet around the mouth just give it a twist around your neck and you should be good for another 2 hrs or so.

Ah, Just now, not Now Now.

I'm confused now, when I first moved in to SA, I thought now now meant even more now than now (like right now), but then I understood that on Cape town time, it means more "maybe later... inch'allah".

 

Now you said you never meant now now, but we're talking now now as it's probably going to happen later, or not

Cape town is the MOTHER city .... since everything takes at least nine months ....

 

 

"now" and "now now" are both just indicators of something that may happen in the very distant future ...

[RocknRolla]

I'll reply now-now....

[Slowbee]

I'll reply now-now....

but not just now

what idiot wears the buff on his head and over his face? Clever folks wear it like a scar pulled up over the mouth and nose.
