Irish designer creates anti-fog clear face mask

Irish designer Deborah Veale, together with her team at DVProfessional corporate uniform specialists, have created a clear face mask, which aims to be a solution to the visual communication issue caused by opaque masks.

Clear Fáilte Mask is a barrier mask that features a transparent anti-fog panel combined with a nose wrap, showcasing the mouth to help improve interaction and communication.

According to the DV team, it's estimated that 55% of communication is non-verbal, and with many sectors of society struggling with the traditional opaque masks during the pandemic, it has developed the Clear Fáilte Mask.

Designed to suit a range of sectors, including the hair, beauty and spa industry, the mask offers virus security in a sustainable and reusable manner, while addressing the communication issue.

The unisex design is made of two layers of poly cotton with an anti-fog and anti-scratch clear panel, a nose wrap that stops glasses fogging and adjustable ear elastics. It is available in three sizes and five shades: sand, navy, light blue, pink and light grey. Each mask is washable and lasts for up to 40 wears.

The Clear Fáilte Mask has been produced as per guidelines supplied by the National Safety Authority of Ireland.
