OmenexBalaclava Half Face Mask Adjustable Fastener Windproof Men Women for Skiing Snowboarding Motorcycling Winter Outdoor Sports Highly Breathable (Half-face)

I purchased these for an overnight hike and camping trip with REI, they stated we need to have face coverings and I believe it was old information from covid. However, I purchased these anyways, as they were great for the cooler weather when hiking early in the morning or later into the evening when setting up camp.I found the ventilation to be easy to breathe, and aired out adequately to avoid moisture buildup. I bought a few different kinds to cycle through, to avoid getting chilled, noting that this product dried quickly.Because of its adjustable velcro fasteners, I found that the fit was easy to accommodate, and did not slip down my face, lacking overall face protection.Overall, I found the product to be effective and adequate quality for the activity that I purchased it for.

A full face helmet makes me claustrophobic, I usually wear a bandanna to cover my face but was looking for something softer and easier to put on.Super easy to put on and it stays in place, soft on my sensitive skin - no chaffing, lots of compliments, worn in 100 F - comfortable, did not overheat, great sun protection had no issues with allergies from pollen or grass. Did a great job though rain and hail did not become saturated and protected my face. Will be ordering more.

The cheeks/sides are comfortable and warm however the nose and mouth covering tends to hold a lot of moisture. It does dry quickly but this is something that you will need to plan for.

Overall, this is a great adjustment fitting half mask that keeps your face protected in cold wind situations. The material layer near your nose and mouth is also breathable making it ease to breath even through you nose normally. The ear covering works surprisingly well and has the added bonus of internal ear loop elastic straps to avoid the ear covering from sagging or slipping off of your ears.

Have to fully stretch it out to put it back on again. Feels comfortable, just small.

Works well! You will not be disappointed

I live near Chicago. That alone creates visions of very cold weather. I got this mask to help me get thru those cold days. We recently had temps of only -6 and 0. This mask delivered in keep my face warm those days. Yes, you can breathe easily with it, but your breath can make it moist. You should carefully hand wash it after use. But for the price is hard to beat. + it uses a Velcro strip making it easy to put on and take off.

First and foremost; I live in South Texas. This product might be used two weeks out of the year and then thrown into a closet. That being said, I like the half mask. Yes, it's tight around the face and head but I think it's designed to hold the mask in place. Big head people will be hit or miss. The price point is exactly where it should be versus a full baklava. There is no smell (unless it's you.) Stretch is limited due to it's purpose but still has a little.
