The Best Types of Face Mask for Techwear
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Face masks might not be essential in techwear, and in some cases can detract from a highly functional and versatile techwear look, but have their uses for warmth and concealment.
We go through some of the styles and specific models of mask and what they're best used for, from functionality to purely creating 'themed' images.

I feel like most techwear in general is worn for stunting - and if you're gonna want to stunt, you should be comfortable enough with people staring. It's like when people used to wear bape shark hoodies - everyone would stare, but it just comes with the territory if you're going to wear something that stands out.

I’m a fan. Almost all the masks (besides the full-on helmet) you highlighted can also serve a purpose, given the right circumstance. I think your discussion was right on point Antwan, good vid!
I've been in this style for a while and I love seeing the practical being worn especially the high end products not looking goofy. I also like the people who are creative with the style.
With Covid19 everyone can be Kakashi without anyone making fun of you.
Been waiting for this episode thanks!
Really enjoy the content. While I am not a tech wear super enthusiast per se, I do take a lot of single pieces and incorporate into my wardrobe. More bc of the functionality and cleaner aesthetic of many of the pieces. This video became particularly helpful given the COVID 19 issue we are all dealing with now. Again great content...oh and keep up the self roasting/adlibs to the right (I mainly tune in for those also). Keep the vids coming.

For me, I like that I can wear a hygiene mask for my fits since I live in Japan. And here even if you aren't sick, a lot of people do wear the masks on public transportation and stuff due to close proximity. That said, I also have the Nike ACG 3-in-1 hat with the balaclava, and I like to wear that as a face only cover when I'm riding my bike here in the cold weather. Great video!
We need this now
Lovely video dude!!
Would love to see a review of some Rosen-X stuff! Very interesting pieces in the new Rosen-X 2 drop

Omg finally a video about masks
I love the one on the thumbnail
Hygiene masks are actually quite useful for preventing allergies during spring and summer, and when you live in an area with pollution or bad air quality, these can be useful to keep bad air out of your system. Also, if a lot of people around you are sick, they are helpful too.
Dang you sold me on the Nike Squad Soccer Snood, everytime I watch one of your vids I end up buying something lol. Good video though, i've always considered getting a mask that I would actually wear for functionality (not just IG clout) and this seems pretty good.
time to revisit this
This guy is the true 🐐 of techwear
This is coming in handy for 2020 😷
i actually like both sides tbh. On one side i love the maybe a bit extra cyberpunk "hackerman" look that some people go for but i also like seeing more realistic aproaches. Because on one hand the aesthetic cyberpunk side of it is what drew me in and its kind of cool to see how creative people can get in making these crazy futuristic costume like outfits, but ALSO i think it takes creativitiy to integrate the technical aspect of things into an outfit that doesnt scream "i have NGE(or any other futuristic anymaymay) posters on my bedroom wall"

Living in Canada a Balaclava is an essential piece of attire for winter weather. I even ware a non fleece lined one during spring when I run in the rain. Plus it makes everyone move out of your way when walking.

Whenever I'm on the bus and someone coughs into their hand and then grabs one of the handrails, I wish Canadians would adopt the SARS mask too

I just got into teach wear since oct 2020. Not that long ago. I only started wearing my face mask recently. The reason being One because I’m literally always in public alone. So you know that feeling when everyone is dressed casual and you’re the only one whose over dressed for the event? That’s basically what it feels like to be wearing tech wear. so I like having that anonymity so when I’m the one sticking out the most in a store, atleast my face is covered so no one knows who i am. also it helps with unwanted conversations. so if I see someone I used to know they won’t know it’s me and I’m not stuck talking in store with them for 30 minutes. I wear a lot of dxxm life, guerrilla group, and Nike so I tend to stand out a lot and having that mask just helps me blend myself in a little more. Also, is because it just looks so fucking bad ass. Sometimes in tech wear your outfits don’t Always come out as flamboyant or as stylish as you intend and adding a mask only adds more detail to your mask!
machine56 helmets are so fucking dope, wish i could get one
I am watching this now and i just enjoy the irony about wearing masks nowadays
I wear my Nike snood everywhere. Will keep wearing it even after corona
If you are looking for some good neck gaiters for cheap there is this company called SA fishing company. They usually have this sale where you can get 5 for $15. I ended up buying some and I am very satisfied with their quality
