ONE of the most common reason (or argument) on why some people are so adamant on not wearing face masks properly, or wearing them at all, is that the mask takes away the wearer’s ability to breathe freely.
For those that practise an active lifestyle, this might be an obstacle that could hinder them from conducting their routines. Joggers might be forced to skip the activity as jogging while wearing a face mask might obstruct the amount of airflow that the body requires for such exercises.
To address such an issue, high-tech wellness brand OURA introduced its notable range of reusable, self-sanitising face masks in Malaysia and Singapore earlier in May, offering unparalleled protection to users and especially people with an active lifestyle.
For example, OURA’s Active Mask is built to provide comfort while ensuring maximum protection and extreme breatheability, even while performing high-intensity activities.
Combining advanced technology and detailed craftsmanship, the self-sterilising and deodorising mask is made from ultra-lightweight fabric that is designed to pull sweat and moisture away from the face.
Consumers can enjoy hassle-free workouts with the Active Mask’s air diffuser that prevents air from blowing into the eyes when exhaling.
Meanwhile, OURA’s Air Mask 2.0 is also built for a higher level of protection compared to regular masks.
Made from featherweight fabrics which filter particles that is capable of killing germs, the material is 30% lighter than other standard textiles.
However, similar to the Active Mack, the Air Mask 2.0 also ensures all-day comfort and ultra-breathability.
OURA’s masks are constructed from three layers of tightly woven, medical-grade fabric that has been permanently embedded with antimicrobial silver oxide and titanium dioxide.
While most masks use antimicrobial coating which wash off after just a few uses, OURA infused the compounds directly into every fibre so they kill pathogens, inactivate viral particles, break down odours, and sterilise the mask even after being washed repeatedly.
Available in different sizes suitable for all face shapes, the Active and Air Masks come with an adjustable nose clip for a personalized seal as well as a travel pouch, making it convenient for travel use and easy storage.
The Active Mask also comes bundled with OURA’s Active Tape, a pack of 30 double-sided medical-grade strips, to secure the mask for increased filtration.
Since it’s official launch in the country, the OURA Active Mask is priced at RM230 (N95 filter included) while the OURA Air Mask is priced at RM195 (N95 filter included). – May 19, 2021
