Face Coverings - Running With a Mask

For those of you who think a face mask is useless, unnecessary, or worse, this video isn't for you. This video is for people who have been curious about non-medical grade face coverings and what it's like to run in them. I've tried a variety of styles and materials as my wife and I have been trying out a variety for use by ourselves and our children. And I've also been running in a neck gaiter during winter temps for years, for whatever that is worth.

In no way does this video address whether one must or should wear a mask while running, nor does it cover the medical efficacy of any of the face coverings.

Making a review video of different face coverings I've used for running was something I hoped I'd never do. But here we are.

None of these are medical grade or intended to be compared against an N95. My wife and I purchased all these masks with our own money. No one sent any of these to us or will be reimbursing us for our purchases. No one will be paying us to make this video or to use these particular face masks. I do not make any money from any of the links to the masks below.
