@bronchiectasaurus I will add that there are vented N95 masks that make inhaling/exhaling during exertion or in hot/humid weather easier. I cannot mow/weed whip or other heavy exerting in the plain N95 mask, but these work for me.
Here is what we use:

@sueinmn Thank you. Going to get me some of those.

@sueinmn Sue, does the cushioned nose on the masks you suggest help? I have found N95 masks so uncomfortable-so much pressure on my nose that I can’t wear them more than a few minutes. I usually wear a KN95 mask which I can tolerate much longer.
