7 Breathable Face Masks To Keep You Comfortable All Summer Long

As the temperature rises, so does the uncomfortableness of a face mask. With the heat, some face masks may make you feel gross and wet from the moisture of sweat. The good news is that there are breathable masks available that fix this issue.

An Expert Opinion

Dr. Rand, chief medical officer of Live Cell Research, shares some advice on maks. According to Dr. Rand, the typical mask, which is not the medical N95 masks worn by medical professionals, can provide an increased 10-30% protection against the COVID-19 virus. Because of this, it’s important for people to find masks their comfortable wearing. Dr. Rand says it starts with the fabric choice.

“Cotton, wool, polyester, and other fabrics—preferably all washable—can be used,” says Dr. McClain. “The weave and its density are responsible for its breathability as well as its protection, but—in terms of protection—most any fabric one chooses will provide significant protection to others, and therefore ultimately to oneself as part of the community, from transmitting the virus through droplets and aerosolized breath.”

With no near end to the rising temperatures, it will be smart to have a few comfortable, breathable masks in rotation.
