Unlock the power of nasal breathing
Efficient nasal breathing drives performance, builds control, and holds you steady under pressure. Here's what it does.
Improved Sleep
At night, nasal breathing shifts the body into real recovery mode.
It calms your system, blocks mouth breathing, and reduces snoring or restless sleep.
More oxygen. Better rest. Deeper recovery.
That’s how you wake up ready to train again.
Better Performance
Breathing through your nose locks in rhythm. Rhythm builds power.
It helps regulate your breath rate and controls ventilation under pressure. That delays fatigue and keeps you composed when intensity spikes.
The result? Longer endurance, sharper pacing, and better output when it matters.
Increased Oxygen Efficiency
Nasal breathing isn’t about more air. It’s about better air.
Slowing your breath through the nose gives your body more time to absorb oxygen and actually use it. Every breath becomes more efficient, more targeted, and more controlled under effort.
More oxygen. Less waste.
Deeper Relaxation
Nasal breathing activates your body’s natural rest response.
It lowers heart rate, reduces stress, and helps your system settle.
Whether it’s post-workout, pre-sleep, or mid-reset, nasal breathing puts you in a grounded state that supports real recovery.
Strengthened Immunity
Nasal breathing filters, warms, and humidifies every breath before it hits your lungs.
It’s your first line of defence against airborne junk.
By keeping the respiratory system clean and stress levels lower, it helps you stay healthier and ready to train harder.
Sharper Focus
Nasal breathing feeds oxygen straight to your brain without the chaos.
You think clearer. Move faster. Stay alert.
Controlled breathing helps regulate stress and keeps your mind sharp under pressure. In the gym. In a race. In recovery.

I use Zone 8 nasal strips for Hyrox, hard Zone 5 sessions, and long ultras (5+ hours), and they never come off, no matter how sweaty. They improve airflow noticeably without feeling restrictive, stay comfortable the whole time, and do exactly what they’re meant to. I’ve tried others, but these are a level above. Highly recommend for anyone pushing hard in training or racing.
Honestly a complete game changer! Having suffered my whole life with breathing through my nose. These completely open up my airways and makes it so much easier doing day to day stuff including training and also improving my sleep. Would 100% recommend 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
I seriously love these, particularly the larger strips. They genuinely help my breathing whilst running, I can see improvements in my running, when I use them. The other thing that I love about this brand, is the service, the guys are so friendly and are always quick at dispatching orders. Thanks Zone8 for a great brand and the strips, they definitely make me a stronger runner!
They’re a little bit more expensive that some others but they’re levels above it terms of quality.
I use them for sleep every night and also for running. The beauty of these is I can apply them in the evening to sleep and then the same strip is still firmly applied and lasts for my whole run in the morning. But on the days when I’m not running I can just peel it off in the morning without any skin irritation.
Get yourself some Zone 8 and thank me later.
I have a deviated septum and these are the only nose strips with enough lift for me to breathe through my right nostril.
I’m told that my snoring has almost entirely stopped since switching to these and my sleep scores are up.
They’ve totally transformed the quality of my sleep. Since wearing them every night I’ve been sleeping throughout the night and waking refreshed, rather than feeling as tired as the evening before.
It’s amazing to think how much difference clear breathing can make to the quality of your sleep.
After nearly six months of nightly use I can confirm these are the best nasal strips on the market. Nothing else comes close for stickiness or comfort.
There’s no comparison between these and others that I’ve tried.
The best strips on the market by far. Stickier, more premium materials, and superior lift. Absolutely bulletproof against sweat.
The product itself is top class, but delivery took a few days longer than they said it would at checkout. Which was a bit annoying because it made me worry it wouldn’t arrive before my Hyrox race. It made it just in time, but an unnecessary sort in the lead up to a race I’d trained very hard for.
The difference when you put one of these strips on is genuinely amazing. If you struggle to breathe through your nose like I do, these are a must have for sleep and exercise.
Been using these for the last week or so , and there excellent for exercise and sleeping , used loads in the past that fall off after about five mins , these last my full workout , and last all night sleeping , defo worth a try if your on the fence .
Easily the best strips on the market. You can tell that a lot of engineering has gone in to make the product superior to what else is out there.
Small things like the silk, the more rigid bars and the stronger glue really elevate it for me.
Slightly different review here, but positive nonetheless. I'm a sleeper not a runner 😜! I suffer from sleep apnea, and sleep with a mouthguard which helps, but fpr it to work properly I have to breathe through my nose. I also have a deviated septum which means I struggle breathing through my nose some times. My partner bought these strips to improve his running, so I tried them at night and have been using these ever since, I can't begin to describe the relief I feel. I am able to get deep breaths through my nose regardless of which side I sleep on. Thank you Zone-Eight!!!!
My sleep quality has improved immensely!
Tried the Max strips during a long run yesterday and was dead impressed. They held on better than any other nose strips I’ve used, even when I was dripping.
My breathing definitely felt a lot easier, particularly in the last couple of miles when I’d usually be gasping.
I ca see them becoming a fixture for me.
The best nasal strips out there. Trust me, I’ve tried so many brands to try and find one that’ll stay on throughout my ultras.
This is the one that has so far.
For somebody such as myself who has a deviated septum, these are a breath of fresh air (pun intended).
Joking aside, they have had the most monumental impact on my ability you breathe through my nose. I wear the max ones when I’m running and training for my hyrox and then I wear the lite version at night.
I have already recommended them to a couple of friends who also love them.
I've tried all the different sports nasal strips brands that are popping up and these are the best of the lot so far. They're far stickier than anything else out there and without a doubt give more airflow support. I did a 10k yesrterday in only nasal breathing throughout.
There's no chance I could have done that with the other brands I've tested because they just don't open the airways enough.
This is a genuinely game-changing bit of kit. I've see people wearing them for Hyrox and assumed it was a bit of a gimmick, but I tried some that my friend at my box gave me and the impact is incredible. So I went and nabbed myself a pack in the sale.
Consider me converted. JP x
Put them to the test on my first run and they definitely passed. Stuck to my nose from start to finish of a 10k and there’s a big difference in my nose breathing.
Get one of these if you’ve got a deviated septum. I’m not exaggerating that today was the first breath through my right nostril in 10 years. Life changer.
