Ski Mask for Men Women Balaclava Face Mask for Cold Weather Winter Warm Fleece Face Covering for Skiing Outdoor Work

This came through in a clutch. It got cold for my ride home on my motorcycle last night and I decided to try my new hood contraption. I'm glad I had it tucked away in my bag. The balaclava(I think the name of it)saved me and made the ride through the crisp, cold night bearable and even enjoyable because of the comfort it exuded. Putting it on for the 1st time was confusing for a minute. The orientation of the flap had me puzzled. Took a bit to adjust it correctly, with the flap remaining on the INSIDE of the hood part. But once I had situated it, the rest went smoothly. It was delivered relatively on time and packaged accordingly. It's a nice, soft material and comfortable under a helmet with minor adjustments. The choices are maddening between the types of headgear available. I'm so glad and a little proud of my decision to get this one/two. Well worth the $. The way it protected me is glorious, with its lightness and softness was satisfying. Also, there are a few different ways of wearing it, with each having its own benefits. I would buy again if needed, but I think I'll be fine for a while with the 2 I purchased being sufficient.

Comfortable, great quality, sized correctly nice and thick

Perfect fit, easy to put on, and it actually keeps my head and face warm while working outside in 30 to 50 degrees (F). Its thin enough that I can wear it under my hoodie but not thick enough to make me get too warm. It significantly helps reduce windchill on my head, face, and neck. I actually ended up buying a second one to leave at work once I realized how useful and effective it is

I’m a female, 5’1” and about 100 pounds, so I’m very tiny, and I bought this balaclava for the Bears vs. Packers game at Lambeau Field (which gets freezing). I really needed something to keep my head and face warm. I didn’t try the balaclava by itself outdoors, but I did test it layered with a hoodie underneath and then a beanie on top. During the game, it kept my face—especially my nose and mouth—very warm, which I loved. I could definitely feel the difference once I layered it properly. My only issue was the sizing. On my head alone, the balaclava was extremely loose and saggy. It wouldn’t have kept wind out at all, and it just didn’t fit a smaller woman’s head. That’s why I wore a hoodie under it—the hoodie gave it a tighter, secure fit and kept my ears warm too. With the hoodie underneath, it worked great. Because of that, I knocked it down from 5 stars to 4. The warmth is great, but the sizing is clearly made for men. I also bought one for my boyfriend, and it fit him perfectly right out of the package. If you’re a woman with a smaller head like me, just know you’ll need to layer it with a hoodie to get the right fit. I took pictures wearing it both alone and with the hoodie, and you can definitely see the difference. Other than the sizing, the balaclava kept me warm and did its job well—just better suited for men or for women who plan to layer.

I gave this a 5 star due to how inexpensive this product is for the quality material I got. The stitching is good. I’m not having any problems with any seams irritating my skin (I have sensitive skin), like poking or rubbing. The inside material is very soft as advertised. I wear a size 7 1/4 fitted cap, so not the biggest head. The fit of this mask was perfect for me. My concern initially was the bagginess on my head, thus letting wind or snow inside the mask. I recently went for a mini run in -10 F weather 10-15 wind gusts, surprisingly it was warm. Even though I do winter sports I still don’t like the cold lol, the mask did it’s job. Add a skullcap or hoodie, you’re definitely good. If you’re in minus degree temps and it’s windy outside, be sure when you put it on to cover your mouth(and/or nose) with the first layer of the mask and then place the second ventilated layer over it. If you don’t, your nose and mouth areas will be cold and may cause ice to form. The neck covering has a good length. On me it covers down to the top of the sternum. No problems there. Ventilation is good as well. I don’t feel like I’m suffocating etc. I personally think its not worth buying a mask thats $20 and higher. Unless it was water proof, bullet proof, indestructible etc... you get my point. Some go for super expensive brands because it makes them feel better or confident that it’s absolutely going to meet their needs. There are exceptions and this is one of them. If you want something inexpensive, has great head/ face coverage, good warmth, quality made, not baggy, good fit. This is for you. Ps I’m very picky when it comes to clothing and apparel, this met my expectations.

This is nice and warm and does not make my nose feel pressure. It's a bit on the thinner side, so if it's very cold I may use a scarf as well, but fits my needs quite well, I wear a baseball cap over it. It's pretty easy to get on and figure out as well.

The product is excellent and practical; it keeps me super warm against the cold and prevents my nose from freezing.

Got it for deer season but also used it some cold nights at work feels good against skin. I’m bald so it really helps against a hard hat.
