Throughout the pandemic, men with beards have struggled to find face coverings that meet CDC guidelines and work with their facial hair. Beard-friendly masks weren't available for a while, especially if you had a long beard. These face masks for beards will make wearing masks much more pleasant and are perfect for navigating the rest of the Coronavirus mask-wearing mandate.
We've put together a list of some of the best face masks for bearded men so you don't have to shave it off to comfortably wear a mask. Many of them are extra large and perfect for anyone with a long beard (or even just a big head)! Check these out if you've struggled to find a face covering that doesn't bother your facial hair.
Best Masks for Beards
1. 4 Pack Bearded Men Extra Large XL Face Mask
This four-pack of extra-large reusable masks is perfect for anyone with a beard. These cloth face masks have adjustable ear straps and come in different colors, so you won't have to rely on owning just one. Because they're extra large they have more space for your beard without causing more attention and pulling on your ears.
2. Purian Face Mask Adult XL (Extra Large) for Men with Beards
With triple-layer cotton filtration, these reusable beard-friendly masks are a fantastic high-quality option. They're machine-washable and use toggle-strap locks to keep the pressure off your ears. They're fairly easy to breathe in and, like the #1 choice, are XL with some extra room for your beard or any other facial hair you may be rocking.
