Clever Mouth Vent suitable for hunting

I can give a more detailed review after the fall hunting season but overall I think it will work well. There are a few loose threads that I'm giving a star for (easy to fix with scissors but first impressions are lacking) but other than that it looks good. The material stretches quite well. It's about the thickness of a t-shirt but woven a lot tighter so it's tighter and I hope it keeps the wind out well. All edges are hemmed so I don't expect any fraying. The only exception are the mouth openings. They pressed some sort of vinyl onto the area and punched holes in it - this gives the area some support (although it's not rigid) and also prevents fraying. It's actually a pretty smart design. My head size is XL and it fits. It's snug - not too uncomfortable - but snug enough that I wouldn't wear anything underneath. Another thing is that it has slits that allow you to open your ears, which is great for hunting when you're trying to hear everything in the woods. So it looks like it would be a nice addition to my hunting wardrobe. . It's NOT insulated, so don't expect super-warm magic - although the fabric is fairly tight, it should protect you from some biting winds. The mouth vents are a clever design that will hopefully keep my glasses from freezing in the winter.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
