Possibly - the airflow dynamics would be interesting to look into. The material would make a big difference; one of the reasons masks are so effective is that they're positively charged, making negatively charged viruses cling to them, something I find unlikely for Mr. Helmet over here. But for droplet transmission, like with covid, as long as it's not too breathable I bet it would still be pretty effective in the short term.
Your comment comes across as not believing masks are effective, do you believe that?
No, I believe masks are effective. I was just observing that a material on the inside of those “air hole” (which we wouldn’t be able to see from this picture) would be just as effective as a mask - a mask made of the same material. Didn’t know they were positively charged. But he could have filters on the air holes made of the same mask material for all we know. Or for all we know those aren’t even air holes. I assume those are some kind of (attempt at) filters protruding from the sides. If it’s not a joke and not purely cosmetic, then I assume even this guy knows his air holes would ruin any protection from the filters. Also obviously we’d need to see how this protects / insulates around the neck and shoulders. So until I see the full specs on the bucket helmet, I’m willing to withhold judgement.
