Surprisingly, it seems like the topic of transparent masks has never come up in this community before. Since I need to buy new masks anyways, and I may be getting more involved with the Deaf community in the near future, I'd like to try them.

Previous comment of mine

I've long thought about combining something like this (cw: masked women in a skimpy Harley Quinn cosplay)

Okay new stuff. There was a popular transparent mask that people were using but then started advising against. It may have been this one.

This is the most recent one I'm aware of.

That omnimask looks pretty stylish!

Yeah, I'm wondering how costs compare for the filters when you've gotta use 3 at a time tho.

Edit: vs the bulk 3m auras I typically buy. Tho 3m supports Israel and I am looking to get away from them.

That's the thing, yeah.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

There's the SeeUs95, but I'm hesitant to recommend it after seeing that omnimask, which looks like it will have a little bit closer of a facial interface to a regular elastomeric. The SeeUs ones have a reusable adhesive bit to it with an optional headstrap.

Just saw this recommended on reddit. Looks UK based.
