January 14, 2021 clothesadmin Comments Off on UA SPORTSMASK – Best Facemask for Exercising?

Need a face mask for exercising, working out, or training? There aren’t too many options yet – but we think the best bet for a facemask for athletic use is the UA SPORTSMASK. Our review pair of masks has arrived! (We’re testing two different sizes). Let’s talk about what makes this the best facemask for working out. Here’s the product we are reviewing: UA SPORTSMASK – The Facemask Designed for Athletes and Working Out As soon as the CDC recommended wearing a facemask (even for healthy people), UA got right to work and started building prototypes for athletes, trainers, and fitness enthusiasts. What is so special about a facemask for athletes? Well, it has to provide airflow – but also minimize the moisture and droplets that your exhalation can produce. It also has to be comfortable and stay put – for running, training, HIIT workouts, CrossFit and more. How did UA do this?

The UA Meridian line of performance wear is great – let’s look at the newest addition, the Women’s UA Meridian Crop. What’s a “crop”? It’s like a Capri, basically.
