Masks for the Future

A large part of the world population will happily never wear a face mask again. Even if you count yourself among them, writing them off would be a mistake. Here’s why:

Masks were worn long before the pandemic in some parts of the world. People in East Asian communities in particular wore masks on a regular basis to deal with smog in the cities and to protect themselves from air-borne illnesses.

Now, as the western states are once again engulfed in wildfires that pollute the air and viruses both old and novel circulate the country, people in America are starting to see the value in occasionally donning a mask.

For those folks, we offer some promotional product suggestions:

Mask Shirts

Badger has found a whole new take on masking. Instead of having to keep a mask with you at all times, Badger decided to attach a mask to some of their classic T-shirt styles.

The 2B1 T-Shirt with Mask is made of 100% polyester moisture management/antimicrobial performance fabric and comes in several variations: T-shirt, long-sleeve T-shirt, and sleeveless T-shirt– plus companion styles for youth and women.

S&S Activewear offers the whole line of Badger PPE including 2B1 sleeveless, standard, and long-sleeve Tees.

Casual Bandanas

This style is ideal for the casual wearer: someone who wants to be able to pull the bandana on and off as the situation requires. It’s not the best option for those concerned about germs, but it can protect your airway from dust and ash. (Prefer a fitted gaiter? Check out this post.)

Sportsman Cap & Bag offers the Valubandana, which is available in a variety of solid colors and patterns including the classic red paisley (pictured).

The Valucap VC21 Valubandana is made of 100% cotton, measures 21" x 21", and has hemmed edges.

Last-Chance Masks

Looking to cash in on deals by finding the brands getting out of the mask game? Do a quick search of “mask” on Kati Sportcap & Bag’s website, and you’ll find several “All Sales Final” options that are deeply discounted. Choose from an array of cotton/polyester styles, gaiters, adjustable/one-size masks, and top-tier KN95 disposable masks, all for pennies on the dollar.
