WINTER COMMUNITY MASK

Break the chain

It is clear by now that we will have to live with the Covid-19 virus well into the winter. Nevertheless we do not have to give up our winter sports. By wearing Community Masks in the skiing areas the risk of infection is reduced to a minimum.

The UYN® Winter Community Mask reduces the risk of infecting others because it can shorten the range of the droplets that are ejected when people cough, sneeze and talk.

This mask complies with the recommendations for minimal specifications for the community masks of the Swiss National COVID-19 Science Task Force (NCS-TF) and with the AFNOR SPEC S76- 001 - UNS 1 et UNS 2 French guidelines

WINTER COMMUNITY MASK

HOW TO USE?

Masks can support awareness of social distancing and health-related behaviour, both for ourselves and in our interactions with others. Nonetheless, protective instructions such as maintaining a distance of 1-2 metres and hand washing should never be neglected.

“NOT A MEDICAL PRODUCT – NOT A PIECE OF PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT”

The Winter Community Mask is not a medical product and does not provide protection from infection. By wearing it, it is possible to reduce the speed of respiratory flow and saliva/mucus droplet ejection, thereby helping to reduce the further spread of Covid-19. However, the Winter Community Mask has not been shown to have any protective effect in a medical sense.

The required distance of one to two metres and regular hand washing is still the best protection from infection.

1
Pull the mask over your head and put it around your neck. The logo must be placed on the right side.

2
Pull the upper part of the mask over the nose. Adjust the mask with the inner marking on the nose.

3
Pull the helmet over the mask so that the closure of the helmet also fits over the mask. The mask can be additionally sealed with ski goggles.

4
Pull the helmet over the mask so that the closure of the helmet also fits over the mask. The mask can be additionally sealed with ski goggles.

FOR ANY SPORT

The UYN® Winter Community Mask is suitable for any kind of winter sports. Its ergonomic shape and perfect fit mean that it can be worn for running as well as cycling.

FOR URBAN MOBILITY

Not just sports. The UYN® Winter Community Mask is so comfortable and practical that you can also use it for your urban trips. When you cycle to the office, when you ride your scooter or get on and off public transport. Its function is twofold: it reduces the risk of infection and protects you from the cold.

INNOVATION.

IN EVERY FIBRE.

Since we have our own production facilities and collaborate closely with AREAS (Academy for Research and Engineering in Apparel and Sport) and CeRiSM, we are able to respond quickly and flexibly. We collect valuable data in our own laboratories while at the same time carrying out sports medical examinations to test the suitability of innovative products.

Research and development in the textile sector has reached a whole new level. Laboratory results can be directly incorporated in the development process. Internationally proven testing equipment is used to carry out tests on fibres, threads and fabrics so as to determine and continuously improve response under load.

So in times of need, we have channelled our entire expertise into developing the Community Mask. We believe the results are very impressive. Try it out for yourself.

WINTER COMMUNITY MASK

MULTIFUNCTIONAL

While face masks are already part of our everyday life when shopping or using public transport, they are often a hindrance and a nuisance when doing sports. The right fit and a comfortable product are crucial here to promote a sense of well-being so the mask is not felt to be a foreign body.

Ergonomic and lightweight

The UYN® Winter Community Mask fits perfectly around mouth and nose, sealing nicely at the edges and interrupting the airflow. The ergonomic three-dimensional shape allows you to breathe comfortably without feeling boxed in. The mask has an asymmetrical design: it is half as high at the neck as at the front of the mouth. Due to the unique design it fits perfectly without unnecessary wrinkles.

Breathable

The three-dimensional knitted structure is more densely knitted in the mouth and nose area: this reduces the speed of respiratory flow and saliva/mucus droplet ejection. But the UYN® Winter Community Mask still allows you to breathe easily, so the mask can be worn during sports activities, too.

Moisture-repellent

Thanks to processing with Texlyte Nano, the UYN® Winter Community Mask is moisture-repellent. This property of the yarn is permanent and is not affected by repeated washing. Texlyte Nano does not store moisture but dries very quickly. For pleasant wear comfort.

TEXLYTE NANO

Extremely light fibre

What makes Texlyte Nano so special is its weight: it is lighter than water, 34% lighter than polyester and 20% lighter than nylon, so it provides more volume and less weight. In addition, Texlyte Nano is water-repellent, as well as being recyclable and environment-friendly.

TEXLYTE NANO IS MADE OF POLYPROPYLENE, ONE OF THE LIGHTEST SYNTHETIC FIBRES ON THE MARKET.

Material

Properties

Healthy

The Texlyte Nano used for the Community Mask has been certified and produced in Europe according to Oekotex Standard 100. It does not cause any allergies and is therefore particularly suitable for articles with high hygiene standards.

Thermo-regulating

Texlyte Nano has a very low conductivity so it guarantees an exceptionally high level of insulation – which makes for excellent thermal comfort.

Light

Texlyte Nano is 50% lighter than cotton and 34% lighter than polyester, so of all synthetic fibres this material is very well suited for use as a mask.

Dry

Texlyte Nano is hydrophobic by nature. The moisture-repellent property of the yarn is permanent and is not affected by repeated washing. Texlyte Nano does not store moisture but dries very quickly. For pleasant wear comfort.

Ecological

The production and maintenance of Texlyte Nano requires 30% less energy than for polyester. No pesticides or toxic dyes are used. For this reason, experts consider it to be one of the most environment-friendly synthetic fibres. Furthermore, Texlyte Nano is 100% recyclable.

Durable

Abrasion, tension and tearing is no problem for Texlyte Nano. Its abrasion resistance is 2.5 times higher than that of cotton. Even sweat, sun and moisture have no effect on the durability of Texlyte Nano.

Easy-care

Due to the hydrophobic property of Texlyte Nano, the material is insensitive to dirt, can be washed at 60°C and dries within a short time. Ironing is not necessary. The mask can be used again after a short time.

Design

ERGONOMIC

Its fit makes the Winter Community Mask the new darling among winter sports enthusiasts because its ergonomic design and anatomically shaped mouth section are combined with a tight-fitting but elastic neck section. As a result, the Community Mask stays firmly in position and provides protection for others while at the same time allowing freedom of movement.

1. Highly elastic ergonomic nose shape
2. Flex Ribs for a perfect fit
3. Asymmetrical neck
4. Breathable 3D breathing ribs let the skin breathe
5. Particularly densely knitted mouth and nose sections
6. Highly elastic band at the neck for optimum wear comfort

“Youngsters can pass on the virus, too.”

It’s especially difficult to explain to children why they are not allowed to touch their faces. The UYN® Winter Community Mask is available in two sizes so it fits perfectly on small heads, too. So even in these times nothing stands in the way of winter fun.

IT IS TIME FOR:

COLORFUL LIFE

In times of crisis, nature reveals its most colourful side. Red tulips, light green shoots, yellow daffodils. This generates a positive mood and is good for the soul. Colours have huge impact on our feelings.

UYN® is very much aware of this. In times of social distancing, we miss a sense of closeness to other people and this impacts negatively on our mood. UYN® deliberately counteracts this by injecting colour into everyday life. Blue boosts your spirit and has an enormously calming effect. Green stands for balance, harmony and hope. Red attracts our attention, while orange triggers optimism worldwide.
