Under Armour Adult Sports Mask

The mask is very soft and feels good. All but the little piece of wire that goes over the bridge of your nose. that wire is meant to form your mask top to your face or nose. That wire is so weak it can't even hold its own shape so it allows the mask to fall down and eventually fall off the tip of your nose while you're running. Or if you tend to like I do open up your mouth while you run or ride your bike it pulls a mess down off your nose. Great mask just needs some more design help on it. I will have to return this because every time it slips down it renders the mask ineffective. So instead of fidgeting with the mask during my entire run I'll find another one that works correctly. So here is my update; I went to the gym last night and did a 3 mi run on the treadmill. Before I was able to complete my first mile my heart rate was way up more than normal. I'm normally around 131 bpm avg. And at the gym I was over 160. It was very difficult or at least it felt difficult to bring enough air into my lungs. The cool effect of the mask does nothing. I was just sucking in hot air. But I can say the mask is very comfortable for walking around or going shopping or going into a restaurant. But as far as the sports mask goes I had to take it off and put my old mask on. This is only my opinion you take it for what it's worth. The mask looks good, it's really soft on your skin and it does stay away from your mouth so you can speak. I think it's excellent for everyday use such as shopping or going out or being in a group or at work however I won't be running any 5Ks with this mask on.

I was on the fence about ordering this since it’s pricy and there are mixed reviews. Boy am I glad I tried it out. I got it specifically to use at the gym, and it is great for that. It is soaked by the end (gross, but unavoidable) but unlike my cotton masks, it’s not touching my face where it makes that uncomfortable. I’m not going to act like breathing hard in any mask is a cake walk, but it’s better than any other and I feel much safer in it. What I didn’t anticipate is it’s also the best mask for singing. I’ve tried several and this is far and away the best for it. You can take quick deep breaths without it sucking into your mouth and the foam lining keeps it from getting too foggy in there. I don’t know why some people found it hot. It is thick, but it’s very light. I even put another mask on top (we wear matching paper masks for performance) and didn’t notice any difference in ability to breath. It doesn’t shift around either, so while my mouth is going, my mask stays right where I put it (unlike some of my fellow singers who I saw fiddling with their nose piece). I wore it for about 20 hours on and off the last couple days and never felt uncomfortable. The only explanation for the bad reviews is we are all unique little snowflakes. One size never fits all. I highly recommend at least giving it a shot. Life changing for me!

I bought for running in my area and hiking. Too many people are out to maintain a good distance, so I put a mask on whenever I need to. Typically, I'll have it on for 2-3 minutes at a time. It's much easier to breathe in and much more comfortable than any of my other masks. But, it certainly isn't "easy to breathe in" or "comfortable to run in." Make sure you measure your vertical and horizontal measurements and use Table B. If they don't match the same size, get the larger one. There is no way I could have worn the size recommended by Table A. Table B has my vertical measurement at the top end of LG/XL while my horizontal measurement was in the middle of MD/LG. The only challenge is that there is no adjustment to the earloops, so the mask can feel a bit loose. The earloops are very thin and stretchy, good for comfort, not so good for fit. They rapidly get soaked in sweat and hard to manipulate. Since I am putting it on and taking it off constantly, I'd prefer soft, tubular, but non-stretchy earloops with a way to adjust their length to the width of my face. The flimsy nose wire requires a good bit of pressure to get it into proper shape, then loses that shape over time, requiring another push after a minute or so. I think the UA wire is closer to best than the standard flat nosepiece you see in most masks, but it would be better if it was a bit stiffer. The mask material is puffy, which gives it a bit of shape, but that thickness and the fact that at rest there is a significant space between your face and the mask also makes the air you breathe stuffier, as you re-breathe the air that doesn't get forced all the way through the mask. I suspect there is some benefit against disease spread, but since I'm only wearing it outdoors and generally staying more than 6 feet from everyone, that isn't my primary concern. I have an N95 for when I need to go to indoor public spaces. I'd prefer a tighter fit to my face, with less airspace behind the mask, and a slightly less flexible fabric in the breathing area. So, it's far from perfect, but more perfect for my needs than any other mask that isn't just a glorified bandana. I'll buy a replacement as soon as someone makes something better, but I'll buy another if this one wears out before anyone does.

I teach fitness classes at the gym and I've tried at least 30 different masks. This is the best one. Is it perfect, no. But, it's the only mask I can keep on during a whole one hour class without suffocating. The other masks get completely soaked inside/outside, which takes away from the effectiveness and I have to do mask changes at least 3-5x's during a cardio type class. Yes, this one still gets hot and sweaty inside but the outside remains dry and the mask keeps its shape away from my face so I can breath. It is the most soft mask and feels like a pillow. The top nose piece actually is loose and will slip when I start doing jumps and higher intensity workouts, however, I accidentally put it on upside down once and it's actually better. The chin piece is really secure and fits my nose perfectly. It's expensive but worth it to me, I ended up buying several more so I didn't have to handwash the one after each class to have it ready for the next day's class.

I love this. most masks like common surgical masks and kn95 masks very quickly get full of tiny fibers that tickle my nose fiercely. I have asthma and wear a mask regularly. this is the first one that is smooth on the insidez but it is shaped and stays off of my nose and mouth pretty well. it's also easier to wear with glasses than I expected, and the thin little straps are comfortable.

This one of the best mask I have ever purchased. I use all the time and when riding my Ebike. I am very allergic to the POLLEN :( . But this mask helps 100%. It does block the pollen that I inhale when on my bike. Works

Jan 8, 2024 - Just received this today. It looks great, is comfortable, snug fit, and seems to be well designed. That said it has a chemical smell and I'm sure it will fade over time. The bigger issue is the elastic ear bands. They are so thin and feels as if they will not last too many uses. I guess they designed it wth perishability in mind so that you will have to buy more masks, whether theirs or someone elses. Seems like everything is intentionally made these days with a limited lifetime in order to force you to buy more. I like the mask but can't give it 4 or 5 stars because of this. Too bad. When the earbands tear, I will look elsewhere. One thing about the smell. It's a strong chemical smell. Synthetic materials and probably chemicals sprayed on during the manufacturing process. With so many thing getting imported from everseas, I highly doubt these masks have been tested to see if the volatile chemicals in the smell have been tested for any health effects. If you don't see an update in a few months, just assume I died of some cancer stemming from inhaling the chemical scent.

Got my first mask during Covid. Decided it was time for another one. I use them when it’s windy and cold outside. Keeps my lungs from getting cold and my lips from getting chapped. Is easy to breathe through and comfortable.
