World Balance Nxt Gear Collection is designed to protect

MANILA, Philippines — In the new normal, wearing a face mask and face shield has become mandatory to protect us from an unseen enemy – the novel coronavirus.

Stricter rules on wearing protective gear are being implemented especially in public spaces, with most establishments complying with the no face mask, no entry rule, and the varying levels of quarantine procedures being observed to curb the spread of the virus.

World Balance has joined the fight and created a series of protective gear to equip Filipinos as they move forward in these challenging times. The new line of products is meant to be protective and stylish at the same time. Introducing World Balance’s Nxt Gear Collection.

Made to protect

The Nxt Gear Collection consists of face masks, neck gaiters, caps & masks, packable and protective jackets, and hoodie tops.

One of the most notable products in the collection is the Nano Silver 3-Layer Face Mask. Infused with silver nanoparticles polymer, it exhibits excellent antimicrobial efficacy up to 99.9% across a wide spectrum of microorganisms and viruses. The face mask is composed of a three-layer protective system made with fine textile fibers that are fused with Nano Silver Technology which allows higher filtration efficiency and better air-flow for easier breathing.
