Sportswear brand ASICS has developed a face mask that is intended to keep you safe while you keep yourself in shape. Developed at the ASICS Institute of Sport Science (ISS), the scientifically engineered mask is designed to minimize the spread of water droplets while providing maximum breathability and comfort.
ASICS research uncovered that 5 in 10 runners (53% globally; 53% in the U.S.) said they would feel safer running while wearing face cover while exercising. Additionally, 8 in 10 (79% globally; 83% in the U.S.) runners said that dawning face coverings while running is uncomfortable due to difficulties breaching and skin irritation. As a direct response to the running communities concerns, ACICS developed its cutting edge ASICS RUNNERS FACE COVER.
“We know how important it is for runners to protect themselves and others when running, but also that many find face covers uncomfortable and restrictive,”
Kenichi Harano, Executive Officer and Senior General Manager at the ISS
