Masks Now Available in the GRM Store

Hi all, 

I really don't want to open up a debate about the effectiveness/politics/whatever of masks, so I'll just say this: Like it or not, masks are going to be a part of racing for the foreseeable future.

That left us with a dilemma as we planned our own return to racing: Where the heck do you buy masks? We looked all over for something that was decent quality, shipped fast, and wasn't sold by a fly-by-night price-gouging seller. 

After looking around a bunch, we found a good supplier, and have now decided to offer them in our store. These are very comfortable, seem to be well-made, and ship fast–you'll have yours a few days after ordering.

Full disclosure: We make $1 when we sell these. That's before overhead, taxes, electricity, returns, etc. etc. We're not going to get rich selling these, but we figured it might help a few people out. 

And what if we want branded ones?

In reply to Mr_Asa :

That's not on the table at this point, but could change in the future. We haven't found a reasonably-priced supplier that can ship quickly, and these don't help anybody if they take a month to arrive. 

Ordered a set.  I needed something different than my work mask anyway.

Thanks for looking out for us GRM!

I want to say that I really enjoyed this post - it's not a debate about functionality and such, it's about a reasonably priced product that we WILL Need to have on hand in the future.

Many stores are strongly suggesting, some requiring, the use of them, so it's good to have an inexpensive option from a reputable place that we like to support.

Thank you

Here's a vote in favor of a mask with a GRM design on it.  Ideally one from BRUTE! 

FIA certified?

Monday at the Post Office the sign said "Masks Recommended".

Today, in bold and all caps, "MASKS REQUIRED".

I have a couple of the BlipShift ones on the way already. Thank you though GRM.

You guys are absolutely incredible.

In addition to keeping us informed, connected, and entertained, you're now in the business of keeping us compliant and safer.

I hit the "check out" button, entered all the necessary information, and was about to hit the "submit order" button when it occurred to me to mention the order to my wife as she's been sewing up masks for herself and my two daughters.

I'll be getting a home made "Miss Kitty" or some such mask shortly.

GRM, I totally appreciate your thought process but please help guys like me out and at some point, offer a GRM branded mask.  Honestly, I'll happily pay twice the current price...whatever you need to make it happen, pre-order deposit blah, blah, blah...name your price and terms;  Doesn't matter, I want a set.

Your graphics are awesome and I'm sure I speak for many when I say we'll happily pay a premium to get GRM branded masks.

I've been wearing a balaclava at the track. Fits the bill and it protects my scalp from the sun. And it's fireproof for my beard. Makes me look like a lame ninja too.

No "DORK" model?

I am both relieved, and saddened.

Great idea. I think there's going to be time to find a vendor for some branded masks, but it makes sense to get some out there like this now.

My wife has been cranking them out since the onset. This is an early prototype.

Ordered to add to my growing collection. Good to have variety for sure.

The company I use to make my custom bike jerseys has added custom printed masks to their arsenal. They're in Minneapolis and apparently they are doing as well making masks as they are making jerseys. I was just talking to them yesterday and my guy was delivering to local bike shops. Apparently the shops are doing branded masks and just giving one to every person who come in the store.

I know nothing about their masks, but they make a nice bike jersey. PM me if you want contact info.

Just to clarify, the intent is to offer branded masks at some point, but our current swag supplier isn't offering branded masks at the moment, just so they can get as many into circulation as possible as quick as possible. And switching suppliers for a single item is not something we want to deal with now. But as soon as they're available you guys will know about it (after I order mine). 

Ordered. I needed some new ones as some of mine have seen better days.

I <3 you guys in a socially distant kind of way.
