For the first time in the history of sports, 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 to protect us. The coronavirus pandemic has caught all companies by surprise, but especially sports brands. As the weeks go by, they launch sports masks that seek to adapt to the needs of any athlete.
Below we compile the best masks that exist today. We will update as more brands specialized in sports 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, as well as a comfortable and waterproof fit.
Being a light and soft fabric, it does not bother the mouth and wicks away sweat while promoting air flow. It also stands out that it provides security, but does not oppress. In addition, it contains an adjustable nose bridge and an inner strap to put it under the glasses.
Under Armor has designed a mask with 3 different layers:
- Layer 1: spacer fabric. This lightweight fabric has air chambers that shape the structure and thus prevent it from bothering 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 in your official website at the price of €30 per unit. It is not that expensive in price if we assume that we will have to wear sports masks for several months.
