I’ve played basketball wearing an N95 and was perfectly fine, and that’s coming from someone who has shit conditioning and gets out of breath easily. I actually had a harder time breathing in a cloth mask because it was directly in contact with my face while playing. The N95 on the other hand provides an air pocket.
I carried my 55L pack on my back and my spouses 35L pack on my chest last week through the airport wearing an N95 mask just fine. The other person is just making excuses.
Wildland firefighters wear n95s while in 400 degree Fahrenheit heat. All while wearing up to 75 lbs of gear and carrying around heavy equipment. They literally choose to wear n95s for outdoor scenarios because they are lighter weight and easier to breathe in than their normal indoors masks.
If they can do that, I think we can wear them while we're in a store or whatever.
