What our customer say
The Upper Hand Mask is a community mask made from high-tech materials. It has been developed with scientists from RWTH Aachen University and Freie Universität Berlin. To keep it fresh and clean, the textiles contain an anti-microbial ingredient (CAS number: 41591-87-1). The mask has not been certified as a medical device nor as personal protective equipment (according to EU regulation 2016/425).

Upper Hand uses self-disinfecting materials that do not need to get washed on a daily basis. The materials deactivate >99.9% of many viruses and bacteria over time, when these come into contact with the material surface. Researchers from Freie Universität Berlin and RWTH Aachen University have proven: it works!
Our mask is still a mask. But we have worked hard to make air flow more easily: the built-in nano filter is made from one of the thinnest fibers on earth. It has more micro-pores and lets more fresh air flow.
Wearing masks is no fun. That's why we use lightweight and breathable materials.
Soft comfort cotton on in the inside and adjustable ear loops give comfort on long-haul flights and extended shopping trips.
Our mask replaces up to 210 single use masks, because the materials disinfect themselves and can be handwashed up to 30x. All without heavy metals like silver, which is better for you and the environment.
Upper Hand Masks are a little bit like space suits for everyday life. They are made from self-disinfecting materials. But you might still want to take off dust and stains. Here is how to wash Upper Hand Masks and how to keep the materials active.
