SISTER site Spot.ph got dibs on the official price and release window of the Uniqlo Airism face masks. The much-awaited product will be retailing for P590 for a pack of three. Uniqlo being Uniqlo, it will be available in two minimalist colors: black and white. The three-pack will drop in mid-September.
With this bit of news, the ‘Big Three’ face masks — adidas, Under Armour, and Uniqlo — have now been officially revealed in our country. We call them the Big Three because they come from well-known brands (two from major shoe manufacturers, one from an apparel store), and were so popular they were sold out within hours of their release abroad.
Here’s how the three stack up, arranged in order of release.

adidas Face Cover
Price: P300 for three pieces
Colorways: Black and Blue Bird
Sizes: Small and Large
Availability: Released last July 15. Currently sold out, but adidas Philippines told SPIN Life last July 17 that they would be restocked soon.
Features: According to adidas, the masks are “not medically graded," but are “designed to help prevent the spread of transmissible viruses and germs, to help protect those around you." It’s made of soft, breathable, and washable fabric.

Under Armour Sports Mask
Price: P1,395
Colorways: Black
Sizes: S/M and M/L
Availability: No exact date, but Under Armour told SPIN Life that it will drop in September.
Features: With a price like that, the Under Armour face mask naturally packs in more features than its competitors. Built for athletes to wear while training, the Sports Mask has a breathable triple-layer construction. It is water resistant, and comes with a moldable nose bridge for an even better fit.

Uniqlo Airism Face Mask
Price: P590 for three pieces
Colorways: White and black
Sizes: Small, medium, and large
Availability: According to the Spot.ph report, the mask will be released in mid-September.
Features: This face mask has three layers, with the innermost one made up of its trademark Airism fabric — a cloth so comfy Uniqlo even uses it as material for some of its underwear. The middle layer is a protective filter that stands between the outer mesh and the inner Airism layer. The company claims that the “filter can block 99% of droplets, bacteria, virus-contaminated particles, and pollen.”
