Don't judge a book by its cover By Consumer Lidia from McLean, VA on 01/28/2008 Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Gear Usage: Cold Weather Living Sizing: Feels full size too big Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I would like the product more if it fit better especially around the jawline area. I seem to like the smaller version of the ST mask by polarwrap which I bought as a Christmas gift for my brother. Now that is a good buy.

By AlaskanXCski from Fairbanks, AK on 01/20/2008 Cons: Not Breathable, Poor Fit Describe Yourself: Advanced Sizing: Feels full size too small Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I would advise anyone considering this product to first do some research. [...]this product is very uncomfortable, and does not stay in place.
By Reviewer54 from Denver, CO on 01/16/2008 Cons: Not Breathable, Poor Fit Describe Yourself: Advanced Gear Usage: Cold Weather Living Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Well, it seemed like a good idea - warm the air you breathe before inhaling - but they apparently forgot to make it reasonably easy to breathe in. I couldn't use it for sleeping out in the winter, and I did try. Perhaps a newer version will have addressed the issue.

Fit very loosely on tightest strap adjustment. Rigged to fit first time. Did not stay up on face. My husband got VERY frustrated.

By craig the skiier from Washington on 12/27/2007 Cons: Not Breathable, Retains Odor, Traps moisture poor dry Describe Yourself: Advanced Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: This mask traps moisture in an attempt to wick away moisture. What happens is that as you breathe, a tube carries the moisture away, but it does not do the job at all. It takes on about what seems like a pound of moisture by the end of a ski day.
By tada from new york on 12/26/2007 Cons: Fogs glasses, Poor Fit, Retains Odor Best Uses: Immobile in extreme cold Describe Yourself: Advanced Gear Usage: Not usable if active Sizing: Feels full size too big Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend I was surprised at how poorly this product was designed.Usually I have no problems with products purchased from this site,they seem to have missed on this one.Here is a list of some design defects
First, strap is placed so it sits on the crest of your head.
Second, unless you tighten the strap to the point of discomfort it slides down.
Third, the bottom of the mask does not conform to your face but forms a skirt.
Fourth, the recess for the nose is minamal and with the strap cinched tight your nose is pinched.
Fifth your glasses will fog and even if you wear contacts most people involved in winter sports need glasses for wind protection.
This product is fine if you are going to sit or stand still in the cold but for any activity that requires movement or rapid resperation it is a waste
