EVEN athletes have to wear masks these days, so Under Armour (UA) has come out with the Under Armour Sportsmask, which is now available in the country in select Under Armour brand houses in the metro.

Boasting of Under Armour’s latest innovation, the sports mask is a reusable, water-resistant, and first-of-its-kind performance face mask designed to optimize breathing and provide maximum comfort.

It has athletes and active people in mind, those who want to continue with their dynamic lifestyle despite the limitations of the current situation with the coronavirus pandemic.

UA touts the sports mask as reducing the spread of respiratory droplets by the wearer.

The top of the mask features a moldable nose-bridge to secure it in place and mitigate airflow to the eyes, preventing glasses from fogging.

It features a unique, three-layer model engineered for athletes during performance. Layer 1 is the spacer fabric which is light but has air pockets for structure, so it stays off the mouth and nose for better airflow; layer 2 is the open-cell foam which is the breathable middle layer that lets air through but makes it hard for moisture and sweat to pass; and layer 3 is the UA ISO-CHILL — a fabric that feels cool against the skin, stretches, and is treated with PROTX2TM, a non-metal anti-microbial technology which inhibits growth of bacteria on the mask to keep it fresh.

The UA Sportsmask is available for P1,395 at select Under Armour brand houses, namely, Bonifacio High Street, SM Mall of Asia, Trinoma, Megamall and Greenbelt 3. Soon it will also be made available at Under Armour Ayala Cebu.
