Introduction

The SSOL Panel Mask was inspired by the Korean KF94 mask. I loved the way it looked and more importantly, I loved the fit. It has a great seal, ample breathing space and does not slip off the nose!

Product Features

• GREAT SEAL  (no air leaks) 

In my opinion, the SSOL Panel Mask Pattern has all the advantages of the 3D/Origami mask has to offer, but even better. The middle panel offers a tall nose to chin height but then tapers off short towards the ears. This reduces gaps at the sides that are sometimes found in the 3D/Origami mask design. 

• AMPLE BREATHING SPACE (does not touch lips)

This mask sits out further from the lips because of the way the middle panel is constructed. There is no risk of staining the mask with lipstick for lipstick-wearers.

• DOES NOT SLIP OFF THE NOSE! 

More importantly, this mask allows for jaw expansion when one yawns without the mask slipping off the nose. If it does slip for you, go up one size. 

• ROOM FOR CUSTOMISATION

This pattern is made up of 3 separate pattern pieces. This means there is actually more room for customisation to suit a wider variety of faces. For eg. If someone has a long and narrow face, the middle panel could be re-drafted to be taller (without changing anything else).

Comparison with a commercial KF94. You can see that it’s close to a 100% resemblance from the side profile.

Panel Mask V2.0 – My Purple Melody in Size L

Model wearing V1.0

This model has a very small face. S+ suits her best. 😉

Here, she is seen wearing the M+, it is too big for her. However, the “excess” can be tucked away at the fold between nose and chin flaps (where it meets the middle panel). This creates room for her to open her jaw wide without the mask slipping off her nose. This could actually work out to be an advantage when wearing one size bigger, depending on how you see it.

My eldest is wearing size M.
