There are now countless manufacturers offering face coverings, both Zhik, Henri-Lloyd, and Helly Hansen have tailored new face coverings for those of us on the water a lot. Zhik\u2019s \u201cFace Mask\u201d design is weatherproof and comfortable. \u201cIt is not just another facemask,\u201d they say. \u201cZhik\u2019s industrial design team has thought this through.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ll take their word for it for now, but the design does appear solid and versatile: a good snug fit and washable to boot.
