For this week’s competition, we’ve teamed up with our good friends at Liquid Sports to give away five Envirus Everyday+ Masks, which have been created by dive equipment manufacturer Sharkskin!

Made in Australia, the Envirus Everyday+ Mask is easy breathing, flexible and comfortable. Specifically designed to be used for long periods every day. The mask has two layers; the material is “splash” resistant, and features a slot in which a filter may be added.

FEATURES

Nose Bridge: The bridge of the nose is a point of leakage that affects many masks. A mouldable, comfortable nose bridge has been inserted to ensure a better fit and minimise leakage. Just squeeze gently and push onto the nose and against the face to mould the mask to your face.

Over the head straps: Envirus tested many designs including around the ears. In their experience over the head designs are more comfortable. Envirus’ staff working in the mask construction area are required to wear masks during manufacture and are wearing them for a large part of the day.

Flexible and adjustable elastic: A thicker high quality elastic is used which is flexible and provides a comfortable fit. The elastic features an adjustable strap to accommodate various face sizes. 

Durability: The hydrophobic masks have been tested for 30 Industrial Wash Cycles at over 60 degrees and 30 drying cycles. Masks still repelled water and had no apparent degradation of water repellent properties. Envirus recommends replacing the mask on approximately 30 washes depending on condition. Water droplets should bead on the outer surface.

Fit and comfort:  If you observe people wearing masks in public, you will notice there are often gaps down the side of the nose, under the chin or sides. A well fitted mask is essential in providing protection. Envirus have used years of tailoring expertise and chosen flexible materials to ensure a comfortable and well fitted mask.
