686 Infinity Merino Facemask

Price: £35 / €36 / £36 / 3-pack
Sizes: Youth, S/M, L/XL

It wouldn’t be a 21/22 Buyers’ Guide without some pandemic inspired accessories now, would it?

The anti-microbial finish on both the inner and outer fabrics of the Infinity Merino Facemask protect the mask from contamination, while its moisture-wicking abilities keep you from sweating underneath it.

For added comfort and breathability, the inner layer is made from a merino wool/polyester blend. The mask is reusable, washable, and has an adjustable internal nose metal stirp for a customized fit.

686 Polygiene ViralOff Reform Facemask

Price: £25 / €30 / £30
Sizes: Youth, S/M, L/XL

The 686 Polygiene ViralOff Reform Facemask is made from a fabric that features a special antimicrobial treatment to protect it from contamination. The ViralOff Polygiene technology is developed to enhance the hygiene of fabrics and products by using silver ions to attract and deactivate microbes that land on the surface of a textile and remain effective through at least 30 washes (remember though, you do not need to wash it after every single use).

The breathable merino wool blend inner lining also adds to the mask’s comfort and the UPF 50 protects the face from the sun. The ergonomic fit and elastic ear loops will hold the mask in place, while the elastic taping for added structure around the nose and face improve its seal.
