Just Air

Just Air came to frog with an innovative air filtration system at the start of a global pandemic, and asked frog to make it into a consumer product.

We worked to create a compact ‘ribbon’ system which could deliver clean air from a filter worn on the back of the neck, or around the waist, directly to the wearer’s nose - in as small and comfortable a form factor as possible.

The constant air flow kept the transparent mask from fogging up during use, a common issue with other clear masks, allowing for better communication of non-audible facial cues.

The ribbon was designed to fit all face sizes with 3 different ring sizes. With the mask loosely sealed along the cheeks and below the chin, CFD showed N99+ performance levels - but it could be operated without the seals and still retain N95+ performance.
