Totobobo

Throwback to 2008, Totobobo Maskinventor, Francis Chu joined Goska and Hervé on their Develotour adventure. As they cycled across Asia, they relied on Totobobo filtration masks — a simple yet remarkably effective solution for urban and rural air pollution.

From India to Thailand, Vietnam, and China, the duo wore their masks every day, changing the filters every six hours. Each used filter told a story, revealing the level of soot and dust they had just passed through.

By the time they completed their journey, they had gathered a striking visual record — a gradient of darkened filters, each marking the air quality of a different city.

That expedition was the first true long-distance test of Totobobo under real-world, high-exposure conditions. Goska and Hervé’s feedback proved invaluable, guiding refinements that made the mask even more practical for cyclists everywhere.

Totobobo inventor Francis Chu joined Dévélotour Asia’s Goska Romanowicz and Hervé Bonnaveira on a nine-day cycling journey from Hanoi to Ha Long Bay — testing air pollution, documenting their findings, and experiencing life on the road at the 7,000 km mark of their 16,000 km journey.
