Review on Kids Face Mask Balaclava Neck Gaiter: Warm and Stylish Face Cover for Boys and Girls - Ideal for Cold Weather Activities and Skiing by Tim Hollins

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Tested in Keystone - my new test report

I wore it all day skiing in Keystone in my teens to 20's. Even though I wear a turtleneck, I still consider gaiters to be essential skiing gear. These weren't as good as my wool blend leggings, but they were good enough. He's big and flexible. The tightness of the elastic would have pulled it off my nose if I hadn't tucked it under the back of the helmet. The elevators kept reminding me to pull up my spats on the elevator line (COVID thing). It's not very thick and I could feel the wind through it when I was skiing faster, but overall it kept my lower face quite warm. It got a bit damp inside at the end of the day. It doesn't absorb moisture as well as we'd like. In general, any ski weather would be fine, but on the coldest days I would prefer wool blend leggings. In addition, it does not slip as much and does not absorb as much moisture. If you can't afford wool blend leggings, this will do.

Pros
  • It's very warm and I live in Minnesota where it can be well below zero.
Cons
  • The fit is best for children and teenagers
