Canopy: Comfortable and Sustainable Respirators for Everyone

What Is Canopy?

Canopy is not just another mask. It’s a supremely comfortable, transparent respirator designed to make a real difference for frontline workers and everyday people alike. Born out of a collaboration between scientists, industrial designers, and healthcare pros from top innovation centers, Canopy was created in April 2020 to solve the problems of traditional PPE. It’s a next-generation device that protects without compromising comfort, breathability, or communication. And yes, it’s made in the USA with globally sourced components, reflecting a commitment to quality and sustainability.

The Main Benefit: Comfort Meets Protection

Canopy offers a breath of fresh air—literally and figuratively. Here’s what sets it apart:

  • Over 97% filtration efficiency with no exhalation valve, ensuring safe, clean air both ways.
  • Patented 2-way filter with three times the surface area of disposable N95 masks.
  • Form-fitting, platinum-cured silicone seal that’s soft on skin and snug on the face—no painful marks or irritation, even after a 12-hour shift.
  • Transparent front lens with permanent anti-fog coating—say goodbye to foggy glasses and hello to visible smiles.
  • Feather-light, ultra-strong materials that are easy to disinfect and built to last with replaceable parts.
  • One-year warranty included, so no more endless mask purchases or landfill waste.

Designed With Frontline Workers in Mind

Canopy’s design is deeply rooted in real-world feedback from those who rely on PPE every day. The “Hero harness” addresses top user requests, featuring a splash guard to protect the filter from fluids and silicone tubes that don’t touch the face—meaning no skin abrasions and plenty of room for eyewear. Plus, it’s compatible with most face shields, with a removable shield in the works. Easy to don and doff, Canopy can be disinfected in just 60 seconds using common wipes, making it practical for busy healthcare professionals and frontline workers alike.

More Than Just a Mask: A Commitment to Sustainability

Disposable N95 masks create thousands of tons of waste every day and cost a fortune over time. Canopy flips that script. By switching to this reusable respirator, users not only save money but also help reduce landfill waste significantly. It’s a pledge to protect not just people but the planet too. This commitment is reflected in Canopy’s pending B Corp status and its direct support of nine U.N. Sustainable Development Goals. It’s about doing good while doing well—because one crisis shouldn’t lead to another.

Who Can Benefit From Canopy?

Canopy is truly for everyone:

  • Healthcare Professionals: Designed to provide peace of mind during patient care and team interactions.
  • Frontline Workers: Built to handle the demands of high-risk environments without compromising comfort or safety.
  • Individuals & Families: Offering reliable protection during pandemics, wildfires, or any situation where clean air is a must.

Whether it’s a pandemic, wildfire smoke, or everyday exposure, Canopy helps people breathe easier and stay safer.

Why Canopy Stands Out in the PPE Market

In a world flooded with disposable masks, Canopy offers a refreshing alternative that doesn’t sacrifice performance for sustainability. Its patented filter and lens combo packs nearly 10 linear feet of mechanical filtration into a transparent, scratch-resistant cartridge—no gimmicks, just solid science. The form-fitting seal and thoughtful harness design mean it fits comfortably for most users, allowing them to breathe easy and smile wide. Plus, it’s backed by a team of experts who’ve studied and worked at leading research institutions, ensuring every detail is carefully engineered. Simply put, Canopy is a game-changer in medical and dental supplies, PPE, and respiratory protection.
