The reason is urban air pollution. Depending on the size and preferred transport of the inhabitants, every larger modern-day city is basically sealed off with a lid of harmful airborne particles. And that\u2019s why R-PUR was born.<\/strong><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>This French start-up project is still in the prototype phase but their air-filtrating face mask has already reached 343 % of its goal on the crow-funding platform Indiegogo and is offered in a variety of designs. The R-PUR claims to allow you \u201cto breathe a\u00a0clean air\u00a0by filtering toxic particles,\u00a0fine and diesel particles,\u00a0pollen\u00a0as well as\u00a0viruses\u00a0and\u00a0bacteria\u00a0present in the air, all without compromising on\u00a0comfort\u00a0and\u00a0style.\u201d According to their promo video, the mask boasts to catch up to 99,8 % of any potential airborne nasties while making you look badass. We wouldn\u2019t expect anything less than a functional haute couture from the French.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NTTBf1pUH3M<\/p>\n<p>The mask itself is fully adjustable, ergonomic, and supposed to make a perfect fit with any kind of helmet because it was designed primarily with two-wheeled commuters in mind. Cyclists, bikers, scooter riders or even joggers can enjoy a five-tier air cleaning system that should offer a new generation filtering and protection higher than the European FFP3 norm, placed on heavy-duty dust masks. To make it sound even more sci-fi, the R-PUR mask is connected to your smartphone via a namesake app that tells you when to replace the main filter.<\/p>\n<p>The mask still isn\u2019t available for commercial market but you can make a pre-order through their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiegogo.com\/projects\/r-pur-first-two-wheelers-anti-pollution-mask#\/\">Indiegogo page<\/a> \u2013 they promise to deliver as early as February 2018 and you will be able to choose your own design<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a morning ride to work or a day of running errands on your bicycle throughout the city, have you [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":163198,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[330],"tags":[1685],"global-categories":[],"class_list":["post-163197","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-urban-cycling","tag-r-pur"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.3 (Yoast SEO v25.9) -
