Wearing a mask not only helps with social distancing, it enables an extra degree of protection for anyone around you. When thinking about face covers, whether tactical face covers or for daily use, shape and layers are important elements to consider.
In terms of the shape, how a mask is able to shield your face is important for filtering out particles. You want it to be comfortable but fit snug enough to add that important element of protection. Cotton masks that are form fitting are a great everyday option, while moisture-wicking and antimicrobial material masks are great for performance.
Layers are another important element to consider. In some studies, masks with multiple layers are more effective at blocking smaller particles. The more layers, the better protection provided. From military grade face masks to face covers for athletes, we’ve compiled a list of the best military masks we offer.
