It is not the first mask that Razer manufactures, but it is the most striking of the two that it has decided to create to date and the most intelligent on the market according to it. Of course, before we get into the most important topic of all, the actual level of protection it offers, let's talk about how Project Hazel I want to be the reusable mask with microphone, speaker and even RGB lights that you carry in your day to day.
Project Hazel, the mask for gamers
During all these months of the pandemic, we have seen how numerous manufacturers have been launching different proposals related to protection measures against COVID-19. From boxes that disinfect mobile devices to, as is the case, masks with certain elements that seek to provide them with a certain "intelligence".
Logically, many of them, beyond the spectacular of their designs, fail in their basic task, which is to protect the wearer or those who surround the wearer from contagion by coronavirus. But before seeing if this one from Razer complies or not, let's talk about the proposal itself at the design and technology level.
Project Hazel is the name of this new mask that, with a very particular design, stands out mainly for the use of RGB lights and for being transparent. Yes, about the lights, don't ask too much about who might be interested, but it seems that if Razer has decided to include them, it is because they have surely seen that there is a market. Like all those fans of the cyberpunk aesthetic and with a certain gamer profile.
Manufactured so that the user's mouth can be seen, the mask incorporates two ducts on the sides through which the previously filtered air is let in and out. Those holes are also the ones that are illuminated with RGB lights and that the user seems to be able to customize through the use of a mobile application. Hence this qualifier as the smartest mask on the market, although there is more.
Razer has also integrated a microphone and speaker so that the user's communication with other people is much more effective. Something that here we must admit is interesting, because surely the vast majority of us have suffered from that situation in which they did not understand what we were saying very well.
For the rest, the mask is reusable and you can or should be able to use it as many times as you want. All you have to do is change the filters and that's it. In addition, it is easily washable and the edges are made of silicone to provide comfort and greater durability.
Is it really safe?
And now the big question that many will be asking themselves, Is Project Hazel a really safe mask? and valid according to the measures stipulated by the competent bodies? well for now no, to date it is still just another N95 type mask.
This means that until it receives the certification from an authorized health body, it will not stop being a very attractive proposal, but nothing safe compared to an FFP2 mask.
Therefore, along with the fact that it is a concept that Razer has not yet put up for sale, the mask that gives its name to this Project Hazel will not stop being a striking product that could have been perfectly taken from Cyberpunk 2077.
