I am a neurosurgeon and I have a love affair with the surgical mask for 20 years. I came to respect the safety it offers to my patients and to myself in the OR. During surgery the mask is the last thing you think about and its properties beyond safety are irrelevant. However, the last year, as it became a mandatory “dress code” it started to show its limitations and caveats as a social item.

To be honest, I didn’t think that much can be done in order to improve the classical design of an otherwise trivial item. Yet, I am proven very wrong by the brilliant guys behind Shilma mask. You need to wear it for a couple of hours to realize what the classic design is doing wrong. There are many things that took me by surprise. First is the choice of material, which cannot get wet. Needless to say, that all textile masks suffer from moisture quite fast during their wearing, and even more so in cold weather. Besides becoming a biological risk as the barrier properties diminish, it becomes very uncomfortable to keep your face in moisture even for a short time. That never happens with the new invisible mask called Shilma.

I am a dentist and I have to wear a mask all the time. I did this before the COVID-19 pandemic, being constantly exposed to all the other threats that people seem to neglect today.

The Shilma mask I tested seems good to me, considering the design and the shape that doesn't steam the glasses. This is a strong feature of the mask. It is also light and easy to wear.

However, people tend to approach protection onesided. I wear a mask not only to protect others, but also to protect myself. In this regard, I do not have the same feeling of protection, of air filtration that a so-called ordinary mask offers me. I will be happy to learn that I am wrong.

My advise is to wear this new mask called Shilma in addition to other classical means of barrier.

Yes, Shilma is lightweight, highly reusable, easy to use and maintain and quite comfortable.

I wear it with my sunglasses, finally making use of the later. Shilma mask is really user friendly - not ending with foggy lenses and blurry vision being almost a miracle. Also, its transparent feature really helps making communication way easier.

For all of that I mainly use it when shopping and in the office. It is not the only mask I have and use but Shilma mask really helped me increase the overall time wearing a mask with additional ease and comfort.
