Respro® has recently added a splash of colour to the cycling mask market with their new line of Skins™. You can either buy the Skin as a neoprene shell without valves and filter  and use it with your existing components, or alternatively you can buy the Skin fully assembled with neoprene shell, filter and Powa valves.

As a first-time wearer of a cycling mask, I found the experience generally a good one. My commute is about eight miles each way, and I generally switch between regular and faster speeds.

Although the mask does get sweaty, as to be expected with any mask, it fitted comfortably and didn’t affect my breathing.

In terms of the style of the Skin, it’s going to depend on your personal taste. If you’re already wearing a mask in a place such as London, where they are less commonly seen than in other parts of the world, then you think that the benefits are worth it.

In that case, there’s a good chance you’ll enjoy sprucing it up with one of Respro®’s various colourful Skins™. And if you’re considering buying one for the first time and want something both practical and stylish, then Respro® Skins™ could be a great choice.
