A lot of negativity here but I guess the target market is locations where the air pollution is bad enough that the benefits of escaping it outweigh looking like an extra from a sci-fi B-movie. I remember hearing on the radio in London how air pollution was going to be very bad one day approaching 10 on some scale. A scientist was being interviewed and was asked "Where would the pollution in Beijing be on this scale?", he replied "About 300"

Any day there AQI is below 100 in any of the Indian metros is a good day.
Agree 100%.

Visited most cities in India (Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bangalore) and the pollution is atrocious. I wanted to return back but had to stay on due to a business trip. I can't imagine why/how anyone would want to live in any of the big cities in India. Love the country though.

There is a strong within our executive team to offshore to Latin American countries.

I'm not sure how this is more compelling to use when Beijing is already comfortable with using masks, and we all suddenly have a giant pile sitting at home that aren't going to get a lot of use.
If I live in Beijing I’d probably wear a mask _with_ this thing on.
I remember similar negativity in the western press when tesla unveiled their 'biohazard mode'.
