If you're reading this website, chances are you're familiar with the brand K&N Engineering. They're best known for their aftermarket air filters, wildly popular for their high flow rates, ease of installation, and reusability. With the COVID-19 pandemic in full swing, K&N has done the logical thing, and applied its world-class filter-making skills to designing a face mask.
The company recently launched its own face covering, using many of the same design philosophies found on the filters it makes for cars. Made with a material K&N calls "ProCool" fabric, it's washable and reusable, while also being breathable and comfortable to wear. The ear straps are adjustable, meaning it will fit individuals of all shapes and sizes. And that third string? It's a neck hanger that allows the mask to be kept close by even when you take it off, making for easy on/off transitions.
Want one of your own? K&N's face cover is available in three colors: Black, Gray, and dark Camo. Just $19.99 will get you two masks from the company's website. With the only real branding on the top right corner, they're not too flashy, meaning you can wear them wherever you'd like. They also make a great gift for the enthusiast in your life.
We know what we'll be wearing to our next track day.
