The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that people wear face coverings when out in public in places where it’s hard to stay at least 6 feet away from others.
While transmission of COVID-19 is less risky when running, cycling or exercising with no one around, many people still opt to use a face mask.
The problem is that it’s difficult to breath through a mask when running or doing physical activity due to a lack of air flow. As a result, Under Armour launched a face mask designed specifically for athletes, called the UA Sportsmask. It comes in four sizes and is hand washable.
The mask is designed for comfort and breathability, among other features:
-
Water-resistant outer shell features smooth, breathable spacer fabric
-
Anti-microbial treatment on the inside layer to help keep mask fresh
-
Polyurethane open-cell foam lets air through but makes it hard for moisture & sweat to pass
-
UA Iso-Chill fabric on interior lining & ear loops feels cool to the touch for as long as you wear it
-
Fabric is soft & smooth for next to face comfort & moves moisture from your mouth to the insert layer
-
Lining fabric extends up & is strategically shaped to lay flat across the bridge of your nose
-
Soft, adjustable nose bridge to secure it across the face
-
Stretchy ear loops & side panels for a more comfortable fit
-
Includes washable, anti-microbial carrying pouch with locker tag to mark your name or number
