Slick Surf: Stylish Face Masks That Keep You Safe

We like to keep things real. We are currently going through a time period that, we all are sure, is not that enjoyable. But, we’re doing it in spirit, and you can bet that we’ll make it through this mad maze of a pandemic.

Safety is a top priority as we work from home in our hip-hop styled cribs and get into super-hero form. Safety is not only important for our safety but also for the safety of our families. Because, as a person of substance, you have a moral responsibility. It’s the same as decency, empathy and common sense.

We are here to inform you that, in these times of endless Zoom conference, broken politics and forest fires (and did we mention a raging Pandemic?) wearing a mask outside is the best way to keep safe. That strip of fabric with two strings or, as some call it, “our last chance to stop the spread COVID19,” is what you need.

What’s the deal? Do you want to look great? We get it. Not everyone likes to wear a surgeon’s face mask. You can upgrade your look with the most recent facemasks. These will keep your look stylish and safe.

• HALOmask

The HALOmask is a hazard-free, functional device that was used in Australia’s raging forest fires and Bali’s eruptions. HALOLIFE, the manufacturer, uses a proprietary nano filter technology that blocks 99.9% of all pathogens, pollen, and smog. It’s pretty cool.

• Adidas Face Cover

Adidas, the giant of sports fashion, was the first to offer designer face masks in the early days of the pandemic. This minimalist, sleek design quickly became a favorite choice for people looking for face covers with a cool factor. These facemasks were sold in blue and black with the Adidas logo. Recently they disappeared and have not been seen since then. Adidas has announced that the highly sought-after Adidas Face Cover is soon back in stock and can be ordered for those who want one.

• Ralph Steadman facemasks

“There is no mistake. It’s just an opportunity to do another thing.” This quote is a good one. Ralph Steadman, a Welsh illustrator, is most well-known for his collaborations and writings with Hunter S. Thompson. Steadman, who is now 84 and still active, has created a range of unique face masks that provide layers of protection while adding a personal touch. For extra comfort, the gonzo face mask is breathable, form-fitting, and has adjustable ear loops.

• Graf Lantz Regular Zenbu Organic Cotton Face Mask

This is not your average drugstore face mask. This one-cut design, made from organic cotton helps keep pathogens and dust at bay. This fabric is made from organic cotton and is a great choice for people who suffer from frequent flare-ups or want to avoid the dreaded masks.

• The Huckberry Face Mask

Huckberry’s Merino wool mask is made of a soft, lightweight fabric that is extremely breathable. It also has moisture-wicking qualities. The elastic straps ensure that it stays put as you go about your day. It also prevents your glasses from fogging due to its unique design. There are plenty of other options. But this mask was chosen because it was “2020’s most fashionable accessory.”

The face mask, which once had a waiting list of 4,000 people, is back in stock after being sold out six more times since the Coronavirus outbreak. Huckberry has even created two new colors. Huckberry pledged that 10% of all sales would be donated to the Opportunity Fund’s Small Business Relief Fund, which supports small business owners affected by the pandemic.

• Project Rock UA Sportsmask by Under Armour

You want to feel pure coolness and have your whole body drooling. Dwayne Johnson, aka “The Rock”, recently launched a line of face masks specifically designed for athletes. Under Armour’s Project Rock athletic apparel collection includes a reusable mask. It has impressive specs and a sleek design that will make you look great in and out of the gym.

This three-layer mask, featuring the distinctive Brahma Bull logo and featuring a stretchy side panel and a adjustable nose bridge, has been the most popular item in the Project Rock line. You can also wash it, so you can keep that smoldering look longer.

Rock, who has recently fought (and laid the smackdown on COVID’s candy ass), was a strong advocate of wearing a mask.

Yes, we are in the middle of a pandemic. It’s a Coronavirus nightmare. This is no excuse to not live your life or not to wear a mask. Put on your mask whether you’re at the gym, if one has opened nearby, or out hiking with high-fiving pine trees in nature.
