By now, we all know how important face masks are to stopping the spread of COVID-19. In fact, experts say it's not only safe but recommended that you wear a face mask even while exercising, including tough workouts like running.
However, as fun as it is to collect cute, patterned face masks the way we collect hair ties — after all, they're essentially part of your outfit these days — not all of them are great for your next training session. If you want to avoid discomfort, sweat stains, and breakouts, a moisture-wicking mask is the way to go. We've rounded up a few of our favourites that can help keep sweat and germs at bay.
Under Armour Sportsmask
The Under Armour Sportsmask ($30) is structured to sit up off your face and lips for extra comfort and breathability. It's moisture-wicking, with an antimicrobial-treated inner layer and a water-resistant outer shell, as well as UPF 50+ sun protection.
Aerie Reusable Face Mask
The Aerie Reusable Face Mask ($15) is water-resistant and finished with an antibacterial treatment to help prevent the growth of germs. It comes in three pretty patterns.
Carbon38 Mask Kit
The Carbon38 Mask Kit ($29) includes two masks and a laundry bag for easy machine-washing. A multi-layered filtration system and fast-drying antibacterial fabric ensure you stay cool during your workout.
Fabletics Solidarity Mask
The Fabletics Solidarity Mask ($8) comes in 16 gorgeous patterns, and you'll want to order them all. Plus, the masks are upcycled from surplus legging fabric, so they're ideal for a workout and environmentally-friendly.
Hanes Wicking Cotton Masks, 10-Pack
Made with the brand's Cool Comfort™ moisture-wicking fabric, these Hanes Wicking Cotton Masks ($18 for 10, originally $25) are great for a workout or for everyday wear. Not to mention, they're a steal.
Koral Infinity Face Mask
The fast-drying Koral Infinity Face Mask ($20) is made with antimicrobial performance fabrics, and it gets bonus points for its tight-knit UV protection, so you can feel confident wearing the mask inside and out.
Onzie Mindful Masks
These Onzie Mindful Masks ($24 for two) are made from upcycled activewear material, which means they're designed to move with you while you work out. The fabric is quick-drying and breathable, and each mask has a pocket area for a filter.
Wolford Classic Mask
The Wolford Classic Mask ($35) has a completely water-repellent finish, which means it's great for sweat and if you get caught running in the rain. It also includes extra-thin bands and an adjustable aluminium nose wire for extra comfort.
Bedgear Performance Mask
The inner and outer layers of the Bedgear Performance Mask ($15) are made from the brand's Dri-Tec moisture-wicking fabric, which helps reduce sweat and heat buildup while combatting humidity. The middle layer provides filtration.
Uniqlo AIRism Face Mask
Every layer of the Uniqlo AIRism Mask ($15 for three) is working hard for you. The first layer wicks away moisture; the second has a washable, built-in filter; and the third blocks UV rays. You can buy it in three neutral colours.
