What’s better? High performance athletes have already tested this mask. Stephen Curry, NBA player, is one of the already tested model. In addition to Deonte Harris of the NFL. “As long as you have something covering your mouth and nose, at first it will feel a little restrictive,” Harris said. “The other masks do not give as much air flow as this maskso that is one of the best options for the protection during the performance”.
