 A simple piece of cotton that straps over the mouth. Provides a small amount of protection from air-borne illness and dust. 

This is a very light clothing item made of cotton and iron, which covers 50% of your mouth, and which has no storage capacity. It doesn't occupy any significant space, encumbers you a bit, and will keep the areas it covers barely warm.

It offers very low protection against bashing attacks and very low protection against cutting ones (that includes bullets), while offering low protection from environmental hazards.

It has no extra particularities.

This clothing item can be repaired, fitted (if appropriate) and reinforced via the tailoring skill, by using a sewing kit or bone needle and rags.

Notes

Light smoke protection: 92.58%

Medium smoke protection: 61.72%

Heavy smoke protection: 3.84%

While the smoke protection of this item is minuscule, and utterly useless against toxic gas and fungal haze, wearing a dust mask decreases the chance of catching a cold or flu, therefore one may want to wear this item whenever they can.
