Why Light Weight 3D Masks?

Until this pandemic is over, masks are an extremely personal accessory that each of us needs on a daily basis.   In other countries, people have worn masks because of polution and poor air quality, not necessarily contageons.  In the West, mask wearing is all new to us.  Most important is how a mask fits, becuase that is half of the functionality.  It should be snug, secure and not bulging on the sizes and leaking air everywhere through big gaps. That being said, masks need to also be breathable and filter out large particles. We take a lot of care to ensure that your masks not only make you look and keep cool, they have utility and functionality built into each stitch of every mask we design and produce.  We  follow the CDC guidlnes on sizing, double layerd fabric structure, and fit.  Please see their Q&A for the standard in proper structure, care, wear and sanitation of general face cover masks.

It's only a mask. Why the high-tech engineering? Masks need to enable us to continue doing what we normally do, which is why our masks are durable double layered, washable and reusable fabric just like your favorite work out gear. They are also light weight, made with only the material they need. They're also soft and comfortable, with no lumpy seams to press against your skin.

No seams?  Then how are they made? Our masks are made in 3D on state of the art electronic Stoll Knitting Machinery - the same ones that make your favorite light weight running shoes. Our masks are produced sustainably and on demand (only when you order them) from high quality sports materials.  That means no post production waste and no unwanted masks get put into the world. With 3D textiles, we're able to do more function with less material by putting fine yarns only where we need them. We've used the same performance yarns that you've seen in your favorite  work out gear to make masks that function the same as any general purpose, non-medical mask, but with a lot less material and no cutting or sewing. 

Our masks weigh 12 grams - that's it!  Malibu Knits on Etsy  

How do they fit?   So many masks are hot and uncomfortable, not practical, and create a lot of waste in manufacturing before you ever unwrap them. We've changed that through mindful design and engineering. Our masks are light weight and made from recycled drinking bottles that are turned into fine yarns.  The high tech 3D knit structure in combination with the soft double layered fabric, contours the curves of your face, creating a snug fit around chin, cheeks, and nose, with generous space around nose tip and mouth inside the mask.

What about Sizes?  We make 4 sizes 

• S/M, 13 cm X 17 cm
• M/L 14 cm X 18 cm
• L/XL. 15cm X 19 cm
• XXL 16cm X 25.5 cm
• 
  

We measure the mases folded in half and flat on the table.  The first number is measure from  bridge of nose to chin, and the second number is the width edge of cheek to the other side. The small is basically graded about a half inch less that the M/L from the bridge of the nose to the chin and a half inch either side of the cheeks. The XL is grade up.
