Protect your Oculus Quest 2 from sweat and grime with these face covers - Android

Perfect for sweaty gamers

VR Cover for Oculus Quest 2

Staff Pick

VR Cover is a trusted name in the VR community because its high-quality accessories feel like an upgrade on the default material built into most headsets. Its Oculus Quest 2 product gives you two polyurethane leather pads, plus a replacement plastic gasket with a light-blocking nose guard and vents prevent lens fogging. Available in multiple colors, the VR Cover face cover can be easily removed and washed, so you're not constantly smushing your face into months of built-up bacteria.

Take a chill pill

VR Cover Cool XG Foam Pads

If you've already picked up the VR Cover facial interface replacement, VR Cover offers a ton of alternative foam pad types and colors that you can buy to change up the look of your Quest 2. The Cool XG Foam Pads don't come in a range of snazzy colors, but they afeature a fancy cooling gel inside tucked between a layer of comfort foam and the PU-Leather outer material. Stick it in the fridge ahead of time — like any normal cooling pack for muscles — and you'll get sweet, sweet relief for the last few minutes of any play session. This two-pack comes with one standard thickness pad and one thicker extra-comfort pad.

Keep it tight

AMVR Facial Vent and Pads

AMVR's facial interface replacement is designed quite a bit differently from VR Cover's, with a totally different pad design and a nifty set of secondary pads that flank the sides of your eyes for an extra-tight seal. This helps prevent light leak that could happen when the foam pads crinkle up, and AMVR's unique vent design ensures that your sweaty face won't fog up the lenses. The facial interface is sold in several different colors, while the pads are all black.

For different head sizes

Oculus Quest 2 Fit Pack

These aren't technically face "covers," but we're including the official Oculus Fit Pack because we suspect people shopping for a more comfortable fit may just need a wider or narrower interface. These will relieve pressure or give you a more secure fit, while also adding a convenient nose guard to block light bleed and let you fully immerse yourself in the VR experience.

Slip on some silicone

Esimen VR Silicone Cover for Oculus Quest 2

For anyone worried about removing the default Quest 2 pad, these cheap silicone covers are a simple solution that'll keep your face cooler than warm foam and also block out light bleed around your nose. They snap directly onto the frame and can be just as easily removed and washed in the sink after getting sweaty. Choose between a dozen different color options, including some unique multi-color options.

Leather or flannel

VR Panda Face Cover For Oculus Quest 2

Most two-pack face covers are duplicates, but this set actually gives you two different materials based on the type of game you're playing. The flannel offers a warmer, softer feel for calmer experiences, while the leather polymer makes the headset more breathable and repels sweat during VR workouts. It also ships with a replacement plastic interface.

Anti-sweat, anti-slip

VR Cover Silicone Cover for Oculus Quest 2

Another snap-on silicone cover that can be easily removed and cleaned. We like this version because it stays secure on your face when moving around fast, so you don't have to readjust your headset constantly. VR Cover fans that don't want to take apart the Quest 2 to install a new pad should look here. Keep in mind that some users with glasses have noted that these seal air in more, which can cause fogging.

Built for VR parties

VR Cover Disposable Hygiene Covers

When you have friends or family over, there's nothing more fun than having a VR party. What's not so fun, however, is the sweat that will no doubt accumulate on that pad from everyone using it. Whether you're having a VR party or are a developer showing their tech off at conventions, these disposable covers are perfect for keeping your headset clean for multiple users — and could technically let you enjoy a germ-free VR session yourself if you're feeling too lazy to swap out or clean the pad. These pads are adhesive and designed to stick to a PU leather or silicone pad, so be sure you're using that first.

Wick the sweat off

Temple Tape headbands

While this isn't a face pad, it will keep your face pad from becoming egregiously sweaty by absorbing most of the sweat before it even makes its way down your face. This particular design is VR-friendly, as it's non-slip and designed to cover the front half of your skull rather than just your forehead. It comes in a two-pack for easier sharing —without sharing sweat, of course!
