When it comes to keeping yourself and others healthy, all-day comfort is just as important as exceptional protection. That’s what Outdoor Research designers set out to do when we promised the Department of Defense the most effective solutions to the global pandemic. What we created for the DOD, and later for essential workers and hospital staff, was the most naturally breathable, spacious, and customizable solution for protecting yourself out of your home - and now, it can be yours.

Three key ingredients set the Outdoor Research Face Mask apart: First, the mask itself uses a revolutionary HEIQ V-BLOCK treatment to be resistant against spoilage from microbes. This science-backed technology was industrially oriented to reduce contamination for medical staff, and is only now available to the general public, making it the adjustable, reusable, and crushable mask alternative that’s more protective than basic cotton face coverings. Second, the filter has been tested to ASTM standards to filter greater than 95% of virus, bacteria, and particles. Third, a roomy design shaped to create a more comfortable breathing space, along with a nose wire to custom fit the mask to your face and prevent glasses from fogging.

This mask lets you breathe like you’re not wearing a face covering at all, and its spacious, customizable design lets you adjust for the most comfortable fit that’s tailored to your unique face size, shape, ears, and glasses.

OR's reputation of delivering only the highest-quality protective solutions is the reason why the Outdoor Research Face Mask is so trusted, and so effective.
