@megabusofficial Thanks for the great review and the feedback. We understand the struggle with the insert, it's unfortunately a tradeoff we had to make to create the glasses indent. One idea is to wash your insert and let it air dry in the mask so it'll better retain it's shape. Keep us posted.

@NgoTheWorld @Devsd @ingomar_gutmann @flo_mask @masknerd @MisterEconGov I noticed that the kid filter gets wet quite fast (within ~20min) outside in colder weather (little droplets of water form on the inside of the mask on the filter and it also feels rather wet, when I touch the filter from the outside). Does this impair the filter mechanism?
