The first thing to know is that you can’t protect against the dust at Burning Man. You have to go knowing “DUST GETS EVERYWHERE”!!
Having a good dust mask is important, and can help against “playa lung.” Many people try different masks, but the most important aspects are the following when getting a mask:
- it completely closes with your goggles
- it is of a grading that can take fine particles (fashion scarfs of one layer don't work)
- it feels comfortable
