While Canadians are starting to get their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, it's evident that face masks will still be a requirement for summer and beyond.

As vital as they are, face masks can sometimes feel uncomfortable especially if you're wearing one when it's 35 degrees outside.

But you can opt for a mask that's lightweight, breathable and moisture-wicking to avoid sweaty situations.

Knix FreshFix Air™ Face Mask

Knix

Price: $19

Details: Even though this mask is triple-layered, it's still light and comfy. Plus, it has 99% bacterial filtration so you can feel safe and secure wearing this all day. Besides navy, they have 11 other colours and prints you can choose from.

UA SPORTSMASK

Under Armour

Price: $35

Details: 35 bucks is pricey for a face mask but if you're someone who spends a lot of time playing sports outside, it's worth it. The open-cell foam in this mask lets air through but keeps moisture & sweat out.
