Allergy/Pollution Masks?
Anyone recommend any? Mainly for the allergies in the air. Looking for a mask that I can use under the helmet, not any pills or medications. Just a mask.

I'm interested to find out if there are any effective masks too.

I've used the Respro City Mask with moderate success. Hardest thing is keeping the seal around your nose and under your chin while under the helmet, and this one worked decently.
I've also been able to fit a disposable N95 mask with my helmet, but I have a modular helmet so it's got a little extra chin room http://respro.com/store/product/city-mask Side note: It gets hot as hell with the mask on. |

I use the RZ Mask. Worked great when there was tons of wildfire smoke in my area. Outside of that incident, I don't use it all the time out of laziness and currently just use it for longer trips. I feel like it helps with the general nastiness on the highway so it'll probably help with the allergies. They have lighter-weight, more breathable versions of both the masks and the replaceable filters.

Was better than the standard basic style masks for me since I have a small face. The shape certainly works better with a helmet in my opinion. I don't really expect anything less than a respirator with a rubber gasket to seal that well though.

Perhaps it may be easier to seal helmet to neck. Then add filter to helmet?

Could be a good idea actually.
Also I have seen these but they're $40.00 https://www.vogmask.com/products/black-vmc2v

That seems like the most complicated solution lol. Way more variables to deal with.

Most allergens are going to be too small to filter out effectively. Good luck
