> I can clearly see by the fabric's motion that air is substantially being pulled through the material rather than around it.
I suspect that the fabric’s motion doesn’t mean what you think. You’re just seeing motion from the pressure change. A non permeable plastic film will also move as the pressure changes. This doesn’t mean any air is going through it.
> If my mask is only filtering 80% of the air
If your mask is leaking around the edges, it is extremely unlikely that your mask is filtering anything close to 80% of the air.
My most important point though is that if your goal is to reduce your risk, then wearing an 95 type mask, even an unfitted one, achieves that goal. Its not all or nothing.
