Just like your keys, phone or wallet, these days you never want to leave the house without a face mask.
Cloth face masks are an economical and environmentally-friendly alternative to disposable face coverings, but with so many on the market, it’s important to find one that’s both comfortable and affordable.
One of the most popular reusable face masks on Amazon (it’s currently the site’s top mover and shaker in the clothing and accessories category) is designed specifically for the the urban traveller, ensuring both comfort, style and most of all, peace of mind.
TRAVLEISURE Adjustable Face Mask
SHOP IT: Amazon, $15
What is it?
The Traveleisure Face Mask by NxTSTOP Apparel combines style and functionality to create a “breathable” and practical face mask for life on the go. Each mask is made from a dual layer of 100% jersey cotton to act as a barrier against particles and droplets while remaining wrinkle and odour free.
With more than 320 customer reviews on Amazon, the Traveleisure mask has earned a plethora of positive customer reviews thanks to stretchy ear loops and adjustable nose covering for added security and fit. Thanks to it’s soft jersey fabric, each mask can easily be folded to fit into your purse, pocket or backpack without altering its shape and fit.
What people are saying
The Traveleisure mask is a versatile go-to for those looking for a mask they can wash, wear and repeat. While there are patterns and colourful options that many wear to suit their personality or outfit, many of us are looking for the basics that we can have at the ready at all times.

“This mask is simple, but it's comfortable, light, adjustable (ear), nose rod for better hold,” one shopper wrote. “It's better than most of the mask we've purchased.”
While some people have noted that the mask can be slightly large for some adults, the adjustable ear bands seem to take care of potential gaps. Traveleisure also offers sizes for both adults and children, which may be beneficial for petite adults.
“I wore this for about two hours the other day while doing my running around. It's a little warm, but I was able to breath fine and it didn't seem to obstruct my speech very much. The nose bridge worked well and kept my glasses from fogging up which was nice,” another wrote. “The strings are easily adjustable and the mask was big enough to cover both my nose and mouth. The only real downside I would say is that it's not tight under the chin, but for COVID purposes I don't think that's a problem. It probably wouldn't stop anything bad from getting in through the bottom, but it will block anything from getting out which is what you are looking for with COVID masks. Overall, pretty comfortable and gets the job done. Way better than anything I was able to find in the local stores, and it arrived quickly.”
Verdict
If you’ve been looking for a face mask that isn’t made of the stiff, patterned fabric that many of the popular masks are made of or you’ve been having a hard time finding a mask large enough to wear comfortably, this might be a great mask to try.
At $15, it’s an affordable investment perfect to keep in your pocket for those last minute trips into a public space. Like all masks, the Traveleisure should be washed using cold water and laid flat to dry.
