The main reason I bought my Cinqro was because I run a lot in Milan, so I decided to try this model (it’s my first experience with an anti smog mask while running), because from my home to the place I run there are more or less 4 km of busy streets with lots of cars. I have to say, I expected the mask to be useful also while doing fast runs but I found it almost impossible. After a few runs though I understood perfect ventilation is not easy while wearing a mask, so I decided to wear it only during my slow jogs, or while warming up. And it works very well for that, and I feel the little resistence you feel while breathing had a positive effect cause it improved my breath by making it a little more difficult. Now I am used to do slow runs with the Respro and I am very satisfied. I also wear it when I bike and when I ride my scooter (it also provides a little warmth, which is nice), and I cannot believe I used to go on a scooter without an anti smog mask. I don’t know how it’ll be to run in the hot summer, I am concerned the mask might be too much at high temperatures but I cannot be sure right now: I will post an update when I’ll try. Overall I am very satisfied with this product, I have it in silver which is pretty cool too. I think there could be some improvements to do, in particular regarding stability of the mask (I’d like to be able to move my mouth and open it without causing the mask to move, maybe something that connects to the ear might help?) and the ability to take it on and off without having to stop ( I know it’s not easy, but sometimes, especially while running, I have to spit or clean my nose, and I have to take off the mask in order to do it). Another upgrade could be a nose clip that supports sun glasses, or an official Respro goggles that fits perfectly on the mask…that would be awesome! And of course, I hope you keep improve the air flow: it can always get better.
Thanks a lot
a very happy customer
