Athletic Face Masks for the Gymnastics Community and Beyond
As parents ourselves, we know that a poorly-fitting mask is a no-go for most kids, so we meticulously designed our masks to account for the changing shape of the human face between preschool and high school. Our masks are tailored to each age range for a contoured fit that’s so comfortable, you may forget you’re wearing it. Premium braided elastic over the head holds the mask securely in place during tumbling practice and beyond. We think they’re cute enough to wear around town, too.

Why We Wear Face Masks for Coronavirus
