Masks
FITS FOR EVERY SPORT OR EVERYDAY LIFE
This mask complies with the requirements for Community Masks according to the Swiss National COVID-19 Science Task Force (NCS-TF) recommendations and according to the French AFNOR SPEC S76- 001 - UNS 1 and UNS 2 guidelines.
UYN® is taking action.
Break the chain.
Unleash your nature.
It could be that you are infected with Covid-19 but are not showing any symptoms. You don’t know you’re infected, so you could pass the new coronavirus on to others unnoticed.
In order to protect others from infection, you have to wear a face mask. The recommendation is for as many people as possible to wear a face mask, because this at least enables droplets and particles of mucus to be caught to some extent. The chain of infection is broken.
Design
Ergonomic
and comfort
Its fit makes the Community Mask the new darling among mask wearers 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.

Moisture-repellent
Thanks to processing with Texlyte Nano, the UYN® 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.
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® Community Mask still allows you to breathe easily, so the mask can be worn during sports activities, too.
Ergonomic and lightweight
The UYN® 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.
Made of a material that performs, naturally:
TEXLYTE
NANO
Raising the level of comfort.
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 polypro-pylene, one of the lightest synthetic fibres on the market.
MATERIAL PROPERTIES
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.
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.
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.
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.
Texlyte Nano has a very low conductivity so it guarantees an exceptionally high level of insulation – which makes for excellent thermal comfort.
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.
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.
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 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 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.
COMMUNITY MASK
1 Since you touch your face when putting on the mask, your hands should be thoroughly washed or disinfected beforehand.
2 Cover your mouth and nose with the mask. The UYN® logo must be visible on the outside.
3 Attach the straps well behind the ears.
4 Pull the mask into position. It must sit well over the nose and close off under the chin.
5 Do not touch the mask with your hands while wearing it.
6 Remove the mask from your face using the straps at the sides (from back to front), but do not touch the mask.

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.
