The world’s first protective face mask for water
By News Release | June 2, 2020
Unusual times require unusual measures. “Innovative Thinking” is more important than ever before. As a pioneer and global market leader in the floating aquapark business, Wibit has not only developed a new way of enjoying life at the beach with thae BeachCocoon, but also in the water – respecting the new corona safety regulations: The world’s first protective water face mask for unlimited fun in the water.
The Wibit WaterMask is made of neoprene, comfortable to wear and easy to open and close. Slits on both sides of the mask make breathing simple. When you dive, the mask fills with water but the specially designed drainage opening in the center allows it to drain immediately once you dive back up.
The WaterMask is available in three sizes (S, M, L) and with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces. Utility and design patent applications have been filed.
“This innovation is another step into the new normality we are facing. It will re-enable fun on the water, may it be the open sea, lakes or swimming pools”, says Romann Rademacher, CEO of Wibit Sports. “This is a game-changing product and unique in the world. We are happy to support many areas, not only aquaparks, but all business connected to water, such as lifeguards, paddleboat, canoe or SUP rentals, and many more. We expect that even showering in public pools is possible again.”
The operation of inflatable water playgrounds requires a concept dealing with new safety conditions. Wibit has founded the International Aquatics Organization to support customers with strong guidelines for (re-) opening aquaparks. These are based on Wibit’s global market leadership, more than 24 years expertise and close contact to customers in over 100 countries.
Robert Cirjak, CEO of Wibit Sports, explains: “We considered all operations related to inflatable aquaparks and came up with solutions for each individual process so that our customers are ready to (re-) open with a good feeling for their guests and businesses.”
