A face mask comprising:
- a main body comprising:
- a rear that is adapted to be positioned adjacent a user's face when worn by a user,
- a front that is adapted to face away from the user's face when worn by the user,
- a bottom,
- a top positioned opposite the bottom, and
- a pair of opposing side portions extending between the top and the bottom,
- an opening formed through the front and the rear of the main body;
- an opening cover member connected to the front of the main body and moveable between an opened position and a closed position;
- a first fastener member connected to the main body and positioned to surround the opening;
- and
- a second fastener member connected to an inner portion of the opening cover member and adapted to engage the first fastener member to secure the opening cover member to the main body;
- wherein the opened position of the opening cover member is defined as the opening cover member being partially separated from the main body to expose at least a portion of the opening;
- and
- wherein the closed position of the opening cover member is defined as the opening cover member being positioned in contact with the main body so that the opening is fully covered.
