Say goodbye to uncomfortable moisture this winter!
Dashing through the snow, on a pair of super skis~
Down the hills we go, huffing all the way~
Condensation forms, soaking all our masks~
What a horrible time to ski and feel cold moisture on our necks!
Oh! Soggy masks. Soggy masks!
As we venture into the colder months of the year, we have the snow and winter sports to look forward to. But, we also have the problems that come with trying to stay warm as we enjoy the cold. One of the biggest ones is the one described in our holiday time play on “Jingle Bells,” “Soggy Masks.” We know we have to keep our airways warm so that we can breathe and exercise properly. We put scarves and masks and gaitors and neck warmers on to try and tackle these problems, but we’re normally left with wetness around our mouths, noses, cheeks, necks, and sometimes even ears and heads!
Our wintertime and holiday time solution to avoid the most uncomfortable situation when exercising in cold weather is to wear something specifically designed to tackle our wintertime woes: a good winter mask.
That’s where NAROO steps in. We plan, test, and design our masks to take care of athlete’s safety and comfort. Wearing wet clothes in freezing temperatures stresses not just our minds but harms our bodies as well, causing us discomfort and potentially weeks of colds and recovering with tea and blankets afterwards. Tea and blankets are nice, but not when we could be outdoors!
We design our masks with moisture-wicking fabric. In laymen’s terms, that means that the fabric is quick dry. The condensation from our humid breathing and sweat is absorbed by the first layer of the mask, and then moved through to the top layer for a quick evaporation process, keeping us nice and dry.
We should be mindful of the most important features of masks needed to exercise in winter:
- Insulating – it keeps us warm
- Easy breathing – we won’t struggle to breathe
- Quick dry – moisture quickly evaporates
- Washable – good for many uses
- Comfortable – pairs nicely with wintertime gear like helmets, googles, and hats
- Does not slip – the mask stays in place with customizable fabric and bendable parts
- Protects against UV radiation – protects UV glare from snow or directly from the sun
- Moisture-wicking fabric – fabric made to enable the quick dry to keep you dry as you go
- NOT absorbing – moisture is not absorbed, it is quickly evaporated
A mask needs to be washable for serious sportspeople who want to be up the mountain or outdoors every day. We’re not just one-day skiers, snowboarders, and athletes – if we do winter sports, we do it seriously. As we sweat, it’s important to pay attention to hygiene, to avoid unpleasant odors, and avoid feeling sticky. NAROO’s moisture-wicking fabric moves moisture from your skin to the surface of the mask so it can evaporate. Wash your mask, and wear it the next day, and it will give you the same comfortable and easy breathing features, just like yesterday and the day before. Amazingly, our masks can be washed hundreds of times and retain the same filtering, moisture-wicking qualities as the first time worn.
So grab a great wintertime mask and head out to enjoy the wintertime and your favorite sports.
