AIRPOP MASKS

-

Whether you like it or not, these days mask-wearing is simply a fact of life. It used to be only a select few travellers at airports that you’d see wearing face masks; now it’s a part of everyone’s EDC (everyday carry) kit, along with your phone, car keys, wallet and sunglasses.

So if you’re going to wear a mask, why not make it as pleasant an experience as possible? Masks from AirPop, the world’s first ‘air wearables’ company, are now available in South Africa. Factoring in ergonomics, air filtration, material science and advanced manufactur­ing techniques, AirPop has created a range of masks that provides class-leading filtration performanc­e – up to 99 per cent of particles and droplets coming into contact with the masks, in either direction, are filtered.

Two standouts, the AirPop Original and Active, feature cutting-edge fabrics, as well as the brand’s patented 3D Air Dome design that creates a canopy of clean and balanced air around the wearer’s nose and mouth. The Original is made for everyday use, while the Active is particular­ly well suited to aerobic activities.

There are also sustainabl­e disposable options, as well as masks made for kids. All feature an Adaptive Soft Touch

Seal that creates a flexible seal around the nose bridge area (which also helps to reduce fogging of glasses).

Fit, filtration and breathabil­ity are three key factors to consider in masks, and the AirPop range takes care of all of that. If you need to wear a mask, why not make it one that not only looks good, but also does the job it’s intended to?
