Face masks are the new re-usable shopping bag during the coronavirus lockdown, and interest is spiking in re-usable and sustainable facewear and neckwear.<\/h3>\n

XTM Performance, a Torquay-based company, had the products on offer ahead of the pandemic for snow and outdoor enthusiasts, but the facewear and neckwear is still selling well despite no-one heading to the slopes this year.
\nXTM has a range of multi-use (non-medical grade) facewear, including products that are made using Australian Merino wool, which is anti-microbial, odour-resistant and breathable.
\n\u201cWe love using Aussie Merino,\u201d XTM\u2019s Aly Lamb said. \u201cIt\u2019s non-itch, it\u2019s amazing\u2026 it\u2019s pretty much a miracle fibre, which is why it\u2019s in our face masks, but we also have polyester facemasks if you don\u2019t want that option.\u201d
\nAll facewear \u2013 including multi-snoods, balaclavas, neckwarmers, neckbands and neck tubes \u2013 is washable and re-usable, to improve sustainability and cut down on landfill.
\nAly said she had different types of face masks for different sorts of activities.
\n\u201cI have my exercise and walking the dog mask, which is my XTM neck tube, because it\u2019s really breathable and you can pull it down easy. But when I go to the shops, I wear an over-the-ear face mask because you don\u2019t take it on and off so much.\u201d
\nAs well as face masks, XTM is still selling its full range of snow and outdoor products online, including puffer jackets, rainwear, socks and gloves.
