While face masks have become the new normal, wearing one can be a hard adjustment if you have an active lifestyle. The combination of heat, sweat and a face covering isn’t the most comfortable when you’re on a run. That’s one reason why shoppers have turned to Under Armour.
After being sold out for weeks, Under Armour’s Sportsmask is back in stock and available in three new colors. Originally sold exclusively in black, you can now pick one up in red, navy and gray.
The mask was specifically designed with athletes mind. If you’re looking to break a sweat and still follow CDC guidelines, this could be for you.

Part of what makes the mask unique is its multi-layered design, which helps provide better breathability while exercising.
The innermost layer is cool to the touch and lined with anti-microbial treatment to help keep the mask fresh during physical activity. The middle layer contains open-cell foam, a material that allows for better air flow passage and helps keep moisture out of your face. This is especially important since a face mask can often “create a warm and humid microclimate around your face,” according to Dr. Grant Lipman, a clinical professor of emergency medicine at Stanford University.
Lastly, the outer layer is water-resistant and designed to keep the mask off your nose and mouth.
As a bonus, the face-covering is washable and comes with its own anti-microbial carrying pouch. Currently, the mask is available for pre-order in sizes ranging from extra small to double extra large.
While some reviewers took issue with the design of the ear straps, multiple shoppers pointed out how comfortable and roomy the product was overall.
“I’ve been having a hard time wearing masks through this pandemic almost passing out in grocery stores and wearing one in the sun is even worse,” one reviewer wrote. “This is the first one I’ve found that I don’t feel like a pillowcase is being held over my face trying to kill me. My nose and mouth have plenty of room and I don’t take it off with a puddle of sweat on my face.”
Another reviewer echoed a similar sentiment while adding that the mask also helped them communicate clearer.
“The fact that the mask doesn’t rest directly on my mouth/nose area is a big plus,” they explained. “One added benefit that I didn’t really consider is that talking while wearing it is much easier as well. You don’t get that muffled voice effect while speaking.”
