Perfect mask (please make more!)

This mask has kept me safe through surges and shallow COVID times, on international flights and crowded venues, flawless every time. It creates a perfect fit around facial hair, and fits easily in a pocket. Protip: tie each side into a fisherman's knot over each other on the lower loop and it becomes much easier to adjust. My only regret is no... Read Moret buying more while they were available... A naughty cat stole my black mask, so I've been nursing a single blue one through the past year. And hey, this still isn't over, so please consider manufacturing a few more!

Super light and breathable

These are great, especially for people that have may need to where a mask for long periods of time....for example, sitting on an airplane! The masks are very adjustable, and have one strap that just lets you hang it from your neck when not in use. A must for travel, commutes, or events when you need or want a mask.

Best Mask on the Planet

Hands down the best mask on the planet. The Nano-Air fabric is smooth and cool. The best part is you don't have straps behind your ears holding the mask in place so my ears don't get angry! The mask was so comfy - especially long travel days in airports and planes I had to buy a second one.

February 2, 2022

Poor design

There are lots of positive reviews here, so maybe my face is shaped funny, but I was not a fan of these masks. First, the massive tag on the inside that literally goes across the whole mask is super impractical for a face mask. You can rip it out, but then the info should just be included in a card separately in the first place. It also didnt fit... Read More right with my face. When the strap was over my ears, the mask was pulled so far up it was practically in my eyes. Pulled down, it gave me elf ears. I measured to ensure I bought the right size, but maybe I needed to size up? I also thought the fabric was suspiciously thin and doubt it provides much protection. Finally, maybe non-ear loop masks just arent for some people. As someone with longer hair, the over-the-head style immediately interferes with hair and is hard to take on and off neatly.

Great for Nordic skiing in groups and casual wear

I used this when at Nordic ski practice, which was required by our club last year. Ive also worn it consistently over the past year when indoors. I recently ordered an additional one because I find it to be my preferred mask, and lets face it: masking isnt going away any time soon (no pun intended). Its comfortable, light weight and breathable, but... Read More still tightly woven and double layered to provide protection. It air dries quickly after washing and has kept its shape and elasticity. The straps are also very well thought out and easy to adjust and pull on and off. Its lightweight and breathable enough to wear while doing intense cardio activities such as skate skiing.

January 2, 2022

Very efficient for daily use

I am in and out of buildings all day. This mask makes it super easy to mask on / mask off with one hand - keep the lower loop around the neck and slip the top to the crown of my head. I bought 4 so I can rotate regularly. They wash and dry very quickly. Its made a big difference in my routine. I cant recommend these highly enough.

My go-to mask

Im a Patagonia retail employee and I wear this masks for 9 hours straight 5 days a week. Even when Im not at work, this is my go-to mask. I own at least a dozen of them at this point.

FWIW, customers get a little disappointed that they dont have the patagonia label on them.

Comfortable Mask

This mask is far and away the best I've tried. The fabric is really nice, doesn't trap humidity like other materials. Also the double head straps are much easier and comfortable than masks with ear loops, I wear this around my neck when outside for work then pop it up with one motion before entering a building. Worth the 15 bucks.

November 19, 2021

Stretchy

Every part of this mask is stretchy. Its also lightweight and Plwats in the mask keeps the material from hugging your nose and moth so you can still breath comfortably. I also like that the straps go around your head instead of ears so you can let it hang around your neck when not in use

November 2, 2021

THE PERFECT MASK!!!

I CAN NOT SAY ENOUGH!!! GOOD THINGS!!! ABOUT THESE NANO AIR MASKS!!! GREAT FIT!!! COMFORTABLE!!! FAIR PRICED!!! SIMPLY PUT!!! TOP QUALITY!!! I OWN 8 OF THEM!!! I SUGGEST YOU DO THE SAME!!! EXCELLENT MASK!!! A+++

NO GAPS

This is a form fitting face mask. No gaps for aerosol droplets to slip through. Achieved with stretch in material and a little extra cloth folded into mask if needed.

Perfect mask

This is the perfect mask and the only one I want to wear most days. Best fit for a long period of time and easiest to both talk and be active in.

Love these

Yes. Weve had longer than wed like to mask. This mask is great for gym, campus & masking up in vans with students.

Mask fits well with a fine seal, It stays in place and does not wear out your ears!

I am a high school teacher so I wear a mask all day and I have to do a lot of talking. I have tried many masks and this is by far the best one I have found.

Best mask ever!

I love this great mask as you can put it around your neck and not worry about losing it. It provides good protection and is breathable. I have worn a variety of masks during this pandemic and this one is the absolute best. I would love to see it offered in more colors.

August 27, 2021

Love the mask but the label?

Love the mask. The stretchy ties are a very nice touch. The enormous product label inside seems a bad idea. And, even if it is snipped out it will likely leave a stub. Seems like it wasn't well planned out. I'd have given a 5 but label placement is a definite loss of 1 star

Hello Elliott, we appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. For comfort, the tear-away labels can be removed—just give them a slight tug or cut them off.

Best mask available

The masks are not going away... This mask was engineered with the user in mind. No stress on the ears. The tie end works perfect for a loose fit on the neck. The mask fits comfortably on the face, and the top elastic band is almost ideal for any situation. The only time I have had trouble putting it on, it when I am wearing a ball cap, forward.

August 5, 2021

Fav Mask!

This is one of my favorite masks to wear for personal/professional use and I find it beyond comfortable! Just disappointed that its never available in my size in black or any other color outside of the blue/turquoise. Highly recommend it tho!

Best mask by far

Great product, easy to get used to, breathable and so convenient. Another great Patagonia product.

Perfect. I own quite a few of these, got a few friends stoked on them as well. Best mask to climb in.

Perfect mask

Purchased this mask when mask requirements first started and havent looked back. Its the only mask I wear now. They way it fits around your head makes it very easy to pull down if youre eating/drinking and it is perfect for working out. Also I purchased the blue and it was darker than expected, but looks better than pictured

Best mask so far

I can actually breathe in the mask. Had one from another company that I couldn't and this is night and day. Really like how it ties too. Dont hesitate.

I have a birdwell mask which I love but cannot breathe in. I got two for myself and my wife and we both love them. Walked around campus and worn it with another mask underneath. No issues.

I love where the profits go, and the practicality and better protection of the ties. However, without a nose wire and filter pocket the mask is not useful for me!

Thank you for this valuable feedback on our Nano-Air Face Mask. This is the first mask we've made, and more information on what is truly effective has come out since then. Doubling up this mask with a disposable underneath could definitely help and is what currently aligns with CDC recommendations.

Nice material, breathes well

The material is soft and breathable and very lightweight. I find breathing to be comfortable and not restricted. The mask covers my face easily from the bridge of my nose to under my chin.

Lightweight breathable mask

Love the lightweight feel of this mask. Breathable for hiking and running and doesn't get damp and sweated out like some.

Very soft but Small fit

I have a normal to small sized head and thought the small would fit better than the medium, but it is actually tight. The material, while very soft and comfortable and high quality , kind of sticks to your mouth because it is so thin. I wanted to love this because it is made very well but I havent worn it much.

I bought this mask for myself (XS/S - I have a small head/face) and for my husband (M/L). We both love these masks (easily our favorites).

Too Loose and Too Tight?

I'm not sure how it's possible but this mask is both too tight and too loose simultaneously!

SO small

This is a great quality mask, however the sizing is way off! As a petite female and based on reading the reviews, I went with the xs/s and it is so tight and uncomfortable it hurts my ears and leaves marks on my face. Would like to exchange but dont think that is an option with masks.

Nose piece?

After trying tons of masks designed for outdoor activities, I've settled on this this as one of my favorites.

It's also comfortable and can be worn under a helmet which is great. The only thing I wish it had is a flexible nose bridge as the only gaps in this mask (on my face) are between the bridge of my nose and my cheeks. A bit of air escapes and enters through that gap making it slightly less effective and with prolonged use, that air irritates my eyes. I also wear it with a silicon mask bracket to keep the fabric away from my mouth and with the exception of the previously mentioned nose/cheek gap, it works great! All in all, it's an awesome mask and I just ordered more so I can swap them throughout the day.

At first I was wary of buying a face mask that wasnt elastic ear loops, but put my faith in the companys ability to innovate everything they do- thankfully it paid off.

Great mask that doesn't drop below your nose

The mask is great in that it is secure enough to stay in place while you are having a conversation (other masks that I have purchased tend to slide down as I speak). The fact that it loops completely around the back of your head means that you can slide it down to your neck while eating/drinking, and then just pull it up when you are done.

That hasn't been a problem so far. I have to say that overall the mask just feels very premium and I am very happy with it. I have ordered another one for my girlfriend because I am happy. In the pictures on the website, I thought the color was black but in person, I would probably call it more of a charcoal color or very dark grey.

Not good for hiking

I was hoping this mask would be an improvement on my disposable ear-loop N95 masks, but it's not. The fabric on this mask is too loose and makes it hard to breath during a hike or bike ride.

Nice materials, but bad design for athletic activities.

December 5, 2020

Thanks for leaving us a review on our Nano-Air Face Mask. Unfortunately, this mask would not be comparable to an N95, as that mask is created specifically for healthcare workers and includes a respirator. This mask is more for day to day use, though you are still welcome to use it while on the trail! We'd recommend tying it around your neck, that way it is easy to take it on and off when need be. With that said, if you are unsatisfied this mask is covered by our Ironclad Guarantee and you are welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html).

Confortable Mask

This is probably one of the best fitting most comfortable masks that I have worn. The ties around the head and neck are far superior than having the ties around the ears.
