      We're over a year into the pandemic, and things are still up in the air. Mask mandates vary city by city and state by state, but with the CDC recommending everyone still mask up, it's a good time to have ones you like on hand.

      You have options, of course, from the classic cloth mask to disposable ones. Regardless of your material preference, you should make sure it fits properly, i.e. no gaps on the sides and covering your face from nose to chin. The best thing to do is to measure your face, both width and length, and find a mask that will meet those measurements.

      The N95 is also more widely available for consumer now, so if that's more your speed, you can invest in some right on Amazon or another retailer. If you're still looking for a better option than the one that you had throughout 2020, find our favorites below.

      Masks to Exercise In
