Review on Balaclava Ski Face Mask Fleece Neck Gaiter Winter Beanie for Men - Protects from Dust and Wind by Justin Pavelko

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Doesn't breathe, becomes a wet cloth bag on his head.

Pros: 1) soft material against the skin, good length, works like a windbreaker. Cons: 1) Although soft, the material does not breathe at all, after 15 minutes of riding, the sweat was pouring and it felt like I had a wet cloth bag on my head, soaked in sweat and a heavy head of smaller size or a child, the part which seals the mouth/nose kept slipping into my eyes and the tight fit made it look like I was wearing a wet suit/mask or gas mask where it was supposed to look more like a hoodie. In summary, I would not recommend it even for a person with a small head because of the material it is made of. Doesn't breathe, gets wet from head sweat for the first 15 minutes of activity, then becomes a wet dumbbell. Smaller than usual face opening with narrower headband. For me personally it did the trick, having it for the first 10-20 minutes totally screwed it up, became useless and even more problematic so I had to take it off and just put my hat on and I've never looked back. hp I ended up using it as a rag to clean my car. Look for something different.
