D4,
Some of those single-use 3-ply masks are no better at all than reusable masks and gaiters. There is also the expense factor. $0.50 per mask ain't cheap. Gaiters are easy to make dual layer or even quadruple layer. Dual-layer works for me. Depending on where I'm going, I go with dual-layer gaiter only or dual-layer gaiter with a cone coffee filter in between the layers.
The combo of a gaiter and coffee filter ends up actually being quadruple layer and is very effective. Two layers of gaiter and two layers of coffee filter. And, coffee filters are dirt cheap and readily available. Depending on brand, you can get 100 qty for less than $2.00.
'course, for masks, it's easy to get an extension piece that attaches to the ear loops. Just sits behind your head or at the top of your neck. Makes a mask _far_ more comfortable.
