Face masks in short supply? Try these face coverings instead

Author:

Organic Cotton Face Mask — Leave it to a mattress brand to help solve a problem that’s keeping us up at night. West Coast-based Avocado Mattress is now offering reusable face masks for the whole family. The masks are made from two layers of 100% certified organic cotton canvas, with two simple tie straps to secure the mask in place. No elastic or plastic is used. The masks are being sold in a “family pack” of four adult and four children’s masks.

Under Armour ColdGear Balaclava Hoodie — This Under Armour hoodie does double duty, as a way to keep you warm and dry, while also adding a protective cover for your face. The hoodie is made from a sweat and moisture-wicking material, that’s great for a run or workout. The built-in balaclava pulls over your face and head for a stretchy and comfortable fit, with mesh panels on the side and face for ventilation.

Reformation Masks — Womenswear brand, Reformation, is using its factories to help produce masks for both public and business use. The brand is selling mask packs on their website that can also be purchased for donation. Note: these are non-medical grade masks with ties. One pack comes with five masks. Their next shipment is scheduled to go out in a few weeks.

Face Mask Bandanas — Cover up quickly with these tube-style bandanas, which slide easily over your face and neck to keep you protected. The bandanas are made from a soft and breathable microfiber, and come with a built-in filter to keep out dust, smoke, allergens and germs. This set includes two face coverings per order.

Ergodyne Balaclava Ski Mask — These ski masks make appearances every winter, especially in the colder parts of the country, but they’re making a comeback right now as an effective face covering. Pull the material over your forehead and face to wear it as a classic balaclava. Or, keep the hood off and just wear it as a face mask. This ski mask is made from a thermal fleece so expect to feel warm under the material. Reflective details let you wear this at night while still remaining visible.

Classic Bandana — If all else fails, cover your face with a classic bandana, like this one from Amazon. It measures 20 x 20 inches; fold it in half or by the corners to form a mask or scarf that can be tied behind your head. The traditional paisley design is printed on both sides, and the material is lightweight and machine-washable.
