For the first time in the history of sport, all athletes have the same problem. It does not matter if you are a professional or just like to go for a brisk walk, now we all need a mask that protects us. The coronavirus pandemic has suddenly caught all companies, but especially sports brands. Over the weeks they are launching sports masks that seek to adapt to the needs of any athlete.
Below we collect the best masks that exist today. We will update as more specialized sports brands come out. And, even if you are not an athlete, it can also be useful to use it in your day to day.
Under Armor sports mask – SportsMask
This mask is one of the last to come out. It has been designed for athletes, seeking to promote air flow and freshness, in addition to a comfortable and waterproof fit.
As it is a light and soft fabric, it does not disturb the mouth and it wicks sweat at the same time that it favors the flow of air. It also highlights that it provides security, but does not oppress. In addition, it contains an adjustable nasal bridge and an inner strap to put it under the glasses.
Under Armor has designed a mask with 3 different layers:
- Layer 1: separating fabric. This lightweight fabric has air chambers that shape the structure and thus prevent it from disturbing the nose and mouth.
- Layer 2: open cell foam . Breathable midlayer allows air to pass through but hinders moisture and sweat
- Layer 3: UA ISO-CHILL . This fabric provides freshness when in contact with the skin, is flexible and has an antimicrobial treatment.
You will find it on its official website at the price of € 30 per unit. It is not so expensive if we assume that we will have to wear sports masks for several months.
