Some health experts are now recommending that the public double-layer their masks–since wearing two masks offers a better shield against airborne virus particles–and Champion is now offering deep discounts on many of its premium outdoor-friendly masks.
The Champion masks, priced between $5 to $6 USD, will ensure consumers have more on hand to curb the spread of the virus. These lightweight, non-medical-grade masks boast moisture-wicking technology that is optimal for outdoor sports. Plus, these masks lay flat against the face for a secure fit and are soft against the skin.
Consumers can purchase the Champion masks, as well as other outdoor accessories like the Reversible Beanie and Beanie with Cuff, online and in select stores.
