SSOL Panel Mask (KF94-inspired) - An improved version of the 3D mask.

Updated! (29/3/2021)
There are currently 2 versions of the KF94 masks in the market. One has a rounded rectangular middle panel, which was what my Panel Mask was based on. This style will be known as Version 1.0 from now. The other has an angular middle panel, which will be referred to as Version 2.0.

V2.0 will come up a wee bit shorter on the sides but I'll give it one notch up for its aesthetics.

The SSOL Panel Mask was inspired by the Korean KF94 mask. I loved the way it looked and more importantly, I loved the fit. It has a great seal, ample breathing space and does not slip off the nose!
GREAT SEAL (no air leaks)

In my opinion, the SSOL Panel Mask Pattern has all the advantages of the 3D/Origami mask has to offer, but even better. The middle panel offers a tall nose to chin height but then tapers off short towards the ears. This reduces gaps at the sides that are sometimes found in the 3D/Origami mask design.

AMPLE BREATHING SPACE (does not touch lips)
This mask sits out further from the lips because of the way the middle panel is constructed. There is no risk of staining the mask with lipstick for lipstick-wearers.

DOES NOT SLIP OFF THE NOSE!
More importantly, this mask allows for jaw expansion when one yawns without the mask slipping off the nose. If it does slip for you, go up one size.

ROOM FOR CUSTOMISATION
This pattern is made up of 3 separate pattern pieces. This means there is actually more room for customisation to suit a wider variety of faces. For eg. If someone has a long and narrow face, the middle panel could be re-drafted to be taller (without changing anything else).
