Did they wear this after designing it?

This balaclava is bulky and lopsided. The side with velcro is so thick that the detachable nose/cheek cover does not actually touch your skin. Consequently, if you are wearing glacier glasses, your breath will travel through them and they will fog. If you have bigger cheeks than I do, this might not be a problem; however, you would have other things to worry about because the neck hole is way too small for me, and I am 6 ft, 130 lbs. Also, the edging material is scratchy (especially with the tight neck).

Not to mention, the velcro just about blows your eardrums out when you try to take this thing off.

I also agree with the information in Eric McCammond's review.
