A mask to protect athletes!
When you walk, run, jump, pull, climb... your heart rate and breathing get faster!With these sensations, you release more particles than usual. These projections are more intense and your perspiration may affect the capacity of a regular mask. To protect your environment from these projections during exercise, the selected polyester fibre filters over 90% of the particles you release, while wicking away perspiration."
Inhale, exhale...Experience the thrills of sport, even with a mask on!
Say goodbye to masks that stick when you breathe more heavily!Thanks to its frame inspired from bra underwires (clever !), your mouth is protected from contact with the fabric.
As well as protecting the people around you, the breathable polyester fabric easily purges the exhaled air (air permeability greater than 300 L.m2.s-1 for a pressure of 100 Pa) and wicks away your perspiration.Work out unrestricted and without discomfort!"
Indoor, outdoor... What practices is this mask suitable for?(1/2)
This mask was tested for outdoor and indoor individual non-contact sports. It complies with the requirements for high-intensity sports defined by AFNOR in its AFNOR SPEC S70-001 standard.
Masks are not recommended for high-intensity sports involving a high rate of breathing, during which it isn't possible to have a conversation, perspiration is very high and the level of difficulty is greater than 8 on the OMS difficulty scale from 0 to 10.

Our advice before you start:refer to the recommendations and authorisations of the Ministry of Sport and your sports federation.
What is the AFNOR S70-001 Standard?
Practising your sport intensively requires a mask that allows you to breathe comfortably and ensure the safety of those around you.The AFNOR S70-001 sets thresholds that meet these specifications.Our laboratory and field tests ensure that we comply with these requirements:
- Filtration of over 90% of 3 µm particles (higher than a Category 1 mask)
- Air permeability greater than 300 L.m2.s-1 for a pressure of 100 Pa (high intensity practice)
Practising sport safely:our tips for better use
Masks tend to lose their filtering properties when damp.To retain these properties for as long as possible, avoid touching the area that protects your mouth and nose.
Although this mask ensures better safety for you and those around you during your workout, we can't recommend preventative actions highly enough (washing your hands regularly, social distancing, reduced contact with other people).
How to adjust your mask
- Hold your mask by the straps, place it over your face and tighten the small elastic band behind the neck by pulling the buckles outwards simultaneously.
- Position and tighten the large elastic band behind your head.
- Adjust the mask over your nose and under your chin, to cover your mouth completely. The label should be on the left cheek.
- The edges of the main section are made from a more flexible fabric.Check that they are facing outwards.

This mask has entailed...8 months of intensive research and development
Did you know?This mask is the result of many months of tests, design, selection and prototyping based on the expertise of DECATHLON Sportslab, our research centre focused on the human body.We were able to develop this safe and comfortable mask using our expertise combined with the expertise of the French Armed Forces Biomedical Research Institute (IRBA), the University Hospital of LILLE and a collaboration with the Racing Metro 92 Rugby Club.
