Mask recommendations
 

Good morning - getting ready to start the season after taking last year off for family health concerns. Looking for recommendations for the best mask to wear while officiating. Not looking for your opinion on whether we should or shouldn't be forced to wear a mask. Thanks in advance.

I used a Fox 40 gaiter that had a whistle clip inside. Used all of last year with great success. But that was me.

Peace

I tried several different masks, the Under Armour Adult Sports Mask was the best for basketball officiating.

These Under Armour Adult Sports Masks are sized. Please note the size chart on the Amazon site.

While I used mine with an Fox 40 Electronic Whistle (with a powerful nine volt battery), other local guys had plenty of room for a regular Fox 40 whistle under their Under Armour Adult Sports Masks.

Note: Connecticut officials were not allowed to use gaiters of any type, so check your local listings.

I highly recommend the Under Armour Adult Sports Mask. In fact, it's my every day mask.

I, and all members of my immediate family, do not work for Under Armour, nor do we work for any of their advertisers.

Note: I do have some fogging problems when wearing my eyeglasses with the Under Armour Adult Sports Mask, luckily, I don't wear my eyeglasses while officiating basketball.

For me, a standard K95 was the best option. The dome kept my mouth/whistle untouched.

Any trouble breathing while running up and down the court?

None

I'd suggest that you either were not wearing it as designed or you were not running.
