A case (10) for a mask (11) includes a first panel (24) secured to a second panel to form a pouch into which the mask may be inserted and removed. The second panel may include a pair of overlapping panel sections (26, 28) defining an opening (32) for insertion of the mask. Apertures (38) on either side of the case accommodate passage of a strap (14) attached to the mask. Alternatively, straps (52, 54) may be permanently secured to the case. Closure elements (33, 35) on either side of the opening maintain the case in a closed position. The case may be positioned behind the user's head when the mask is being used, and may be inverted into a storage configuration to cover at least the mask lens. The closure elements are oriented in mutually facing relation in both configurations to maintain the case closed. Panels of the case may be made of floatable synthetic materials, lightweight or net materials to promote drying of the case, and mask following use. Embodiments are disclosed for the complete enclosing of a mask within a pouch, and for the covering only of the outer surfaces of the primary lenses. The uncovered portions of the mask remain exposed to ambient air, and may dry more quickly. |
