A customer recommended the Livinguard fitness mask to me, saying it was interesting because it was said to be comfortable to breathe in while running and coated with a substance that protects against and destroys viruses.
So I didn't wait and quickly looked up information and contacted the importer to order one to try out myself to see if it really worked.

A few days later, the Livinguard fitness mask arrived. I didn't wait, took it out of the box, and went for a run right away.
Fabric
Single-layer fabric that is quite stretchy, soft, and very thin. No wonder it's comfortable to breathe in. It's different from regular thick fabric masks that make it difficult to breathe... But what surprised me was, "Can it really protect against viruses?"
.
We can't prove that ourselves, but at least the manufacturer clearly claims on their website that the positively charged coating can destroy 99.9% of viruses. In addition, they have already obtained patents in several countries, including Bangladesh, China, Japan, New Zealand, South Africa, South Korea, and Taiwan, and are in the process of applying for them in many more countries.
At least there are several things to guarantee.

Actual Use
When worn, the mask fits quite snugly because it has a Velcro strap.
Breathing while running is very easy, but not so easy that it feels like not wearing a mask at all. If running in Zone 2 or Zone 3, there's no problem at all.

What about when the mask gets wet with sweat?
If it's just slightly damp there's no problem at all. I can still breathe comfortably as usual... I don't sweat much. Running 10 km, there was no problem with sweat at all.
If it's completely soaked for heavy sweaters like me, by around kilometer 7, the mask is completely soaked. I can't breathe, so I have to pull it down to cover only my mouth.

For me, I highly recommend this mask.
For people who don't sweat much and exercise outdoors often, or those who wear it to the gym, it's very suitable... But for those who sweat a lot and run a lot, I don't recommend it because if it gets wet with sweat, you'll have to pull it down anyway.
Another group I want to recommend it to is the elderly. Buy it for your father, mother, grandfather, or grandmother. For walking outdoors for exercise, because these people don't exercise intensely. The mask is comfortable to breathe in and helps protect against viruses... I highly recommend it for this group.
Cleaning
This is very important. The brand says not to wash it with laundry detergent because it will reduce the effectiveness of the coating. Wash it in plain water for at least two minutes, then dry it in the shade.
The anti-virus properties remain even after 150 washes.
