3. Keeping your glasses and sunglasses from fogging up

I’ll review the following:

Update 12/15/2020:
I FINALLY got my hands on the new Outdoor Research Adrenaline Sports Face Mask and it FLEW to the top of the leaderboard for best masks to work out in.
Coolest features:
-Even with the filter (due to the mesh design I HIGHLY recommend you wear the filter with it) there is almost zero limitation on breathing.
-The design (although not super sexy) creates a tight seal yet keeps the mask far from your mouth. No sucking in. And people can hear my voice just fine.
- There are adjustable ear loops AND a head strap. You can do one or the other, but I like to use both, then it takes the pressure off of my ears.
Here are my current exercise mask standings:
1. Outdoor Research Adrenaline
2. Primal 2.0
3. Outdoor Research Daily Face Mask
4. Under Armour
5. Stormy Kromer
6. Athleta Activate
7. Halo
8. Athleta Everyday
9. Silk/Cotton Mask from “TheWhiteInviteGifts” on Etsy
10. Disposable Mask
11. Cotton Masks
12. VENT Training Masks (note- these are unsafe to use unless you put a filter on the exhale vent)
Mask tips and tricks:
- For masks that suck into your mouth (I have this problem with Halo and Athleta masks) purchase a “mask bracket” from Amazon.
- To prevent fogging of your glasses check out www.masktite.com (can be found on amazon) OR use a piece of medical tape over the bridge of your nose.
- For maximum protection please try your best to also wear a filter with your mask.
