Face mask regulations change frequently; check out the latest rules across Australia. Masks are compulsory on flights and at airports. Even when masks aren't mandatory, they help reduce transmission and protect the vulnerable.

To do this, they often feature performance-based moisture-wicking fabric as opposed to cotton which absorbs sweat. We've listed some of the top sites below for breathable and lightweight face masks so you can get on with your daily routine.

Why would you consider getting a lightweight face mask?
If you're not used to wearing a mask, a lightweight mask could be easier to wear when getting used to it and you may feel like you can breath a bit easier knowing you're protected but are still comfortable.
If you're looking for a light mask for the purpose of exercising, check out our roundup on where to buy masks for exercise, including cotton masks which are easy to wash and re-use for use during multiple workouts.
Are lightweight face masks effective in preventing the spread of infections?
Non-medical masks, which can include lightweight fabrics, are recommended by the World Health Organisation as a way for the general public to suppress transmission of coronavirus. That said, they aren't ideal solutions for health workers, those who already are sick (or have symptoms) or those caring for people who are sick. If you fall into one of those categories, it's best to wear a medical mask

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We compare from a wide set of banks, insurers and product issuers. We value our editorial independence and follow editorial guidelines.
finder.com.au has access to track details from the product issuers listed on our sites. Although we provide information on the products offered by a wide range of issuers, we don't cover every available product or service.
Please note that the information published on our site should not be construed as personal advice and does not consider your personal needs and circumstances. While our site will provide you with factual information and general advice to help you make better decisions, it isn't a substitute for professional advice. You should consider whether the products or services featured on our site are appropriate for your needs. If you're unsure about anything, seek professional advice before you apply for any product or commit to any plan.
Products marked as 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money here.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labelling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
Providing or obtaining an estimated insurance quote through us does not guarantee you can get the insurance. Acceptance by insurance companies is based on things like occupation, health and lifestyle. By providing you with the ability to apply for a credit card or loan, we are not guaranteeing that your application will be approved. Your application for credit products is subject to the Provider's terms and conditions as well as their application and lending criteria.
