We don't just want to prevent the transmission of Covid-19. Like Jim Cramer and Marc Benioff, we want to stop the transmissions altogether!

Thanks to our Manufactures Honeywell, our team was able to create "ProtectR". We believe that our mask will show Covid-19 out the door! We all want a safer tomorrow and we know that our "ProtectR" is up to the task.

Introducing ProtectR!

ProtectR is a polyester mask hybrid with detachable PETm polycarbonate shield. The style is minimalistic and sinuous.

The mask itself has the addition of three elements which solves problems for their predecessors. The thermoplastic nose piece, a filter and adjustable headgear.

The nose piece is made of thermo polymer, Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA). Its sinuous “T” form closes the gap above the cheek preventing excess breath for escaping and fogging glasses. This piece extends past the nose tip creating a space for the mouth to move freely while talking.

The pocket also allows the air to circulate to the filters on the cheeks; the second element. This filtration system using HEPA fabric work like “gills”. Holding in the moisture of the of the persons breath and relieving the air out and in the mask. Preventing heat insulation and room to breathe.

Two sets of straps follow the curvature of the jaw line to the crown of head. The back strap can be adjusted to the customers persons head circumference, using the line of Velcro, and avoid ear soreness as there is little to no contact around the ear. The chin straps prevent air from escaping from the sides of the face while also being adjustable for comfort. Keeping the seal without causing harm to the head and face. Making this a beautifully useful mask.

Thank you to the sponsors of this competition!
