Choosing a Gas Mask for Protests: A Practical Buyer’s Guide

A Verge buying guide blends personal experience with reporting to compare gas masks for protests, arguing full-face coverage is preferable to goggles or half-face respirators. It rates options by ease of use, fit, durability, and value, highlighting the Parcil PT-100 (~$120) as best value for most people, the Mira CM-6M (~$199) as a top high-end pick, and the 3M 6800 (~$140) as another solid option. The piece notes that journalists and protesters often buy masks online amid state repression and reflects on tear gas’s use and the politics of protests.
