Questions

Is a PEFORE. mask a medical device?

No. PEFORE. masks are reusable fabric masks for everyday use, made with a Medical Grade Fabric layer. They are not surgical masks or respirators.

How does a PEFORE. mask compare with a surgical mask?

PEFORE. masks are reusable fabric masks. The Medical Grade Fabric is anti-bacterial and water-repellent, and our most protective mask, Classic+, averages 92% bacterial filtration efficiency. They compare with other fabric masks, not with surgical masks or respirators made for clinical settings.

Which collections use Medical Grade Fabric?

Look for the Medical Grade Fabric badge on the collection or product page.

Does the treatment wash out?

Feline coronavirus reduced by 99.74% before washing and 99.46% after 100 washes (2 hours' contact). On Classic+, the added filter wears with washing, so it lasts ±30–50 washes depending on how it’s washed, while the fabric keeps its properties.
