How to choose a golf face mask
As golf face masks come in a variety of different shapes, styles and materials, there is a lot to think about when purchasing the right golf mask for you. From comfort to protection, we've set out a few key considerations below that you might want to take into account when purchasing your next golf mask.
1. Protection
Ultimately, a mask is designed with the purpose of protecting you and those around you, so when picking your mask you need to get yourself one that is going to offer that level of protection. That means buying a mask that is thick, but is still made from a breathable material. You may also want to purchase a mask that has a space for a filter that can be inserted or removed at your desire.
2. Comfort
This is the most important factor to consider when buying a face mask. As it is going to be worn on your face and around your ears the fabric must feel soft and comfortable. Not only that but it shouldn't feel restrictive and give a good degree of stretch too.
3. Design
Face masks are a great way of mixing things up whether it be with a patterned design, or maybe you want to show your team support in the NBA, NFL College and so on. That being said you can also get designs that are more neutral if needed, such as the Mizuno or BOSS designs above. Whatever you are after, there is a design for you.
4. Value
Of course, there are face masks at different price points and you should obviously consider how much you are willing to spend on a face mask. But another aspect to consider here is value in relation to how many masks you get. Many of the models above come as a single mask, or as a three-pack so it is worth considering if you want more for your money with a multi-pack.
