Could phrase it another way, the size of the masks from SportKilt are smaller than the masks from other folks cranking them out. So they were too small for me to feel protected wearing them. Sad since they were in tartans I wanted to fly.
My "unfair" comment was to your accusation that they skimped on size to save cloth, as if they were intentionally providing an inferior product in order to maximise profit. I really don't think that's the case. The fact that they cut the tartan for a symmetrical pattern at the centre seam means that they are actually wasting a lot of cloth, not trying to skimp. Most likely, they are just using a mask pattern that isn't optimal for some face sizes or shapes but suit others just fine. I've found that mask designs are all over the place in terms of fit and coverage, and there's no way to make a one-size-fits-all mask.
At any rate, if their masks don't fit you well, I can understand the frustration. But saying that they did it just to save cloth doesn't seem like a fair representation of what's going on.
