Insufficient
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Weight:
- null
The material is indeed windstopper, but there is insufficient coverage of the nose, and mouth area. Froze my lips and nose in a 15 mph wind at 20 F. Maybe ok for above freezing and light winds with high activity.

Must have for winter riding
- Familiarity:

I have used a couple of these all of last winter for riding in the cold and it does an excellent job of blocking wind, but allows me to breathe naturally. The cut on the nose faces away from my riding glasses, so it doesnt fog up my lens. The only issue is trying to hydrate and fuel during the ride. It?s difficult to pull the mask down below the chin with heavy riding gloves, hydrate and then pull it back on your nose. I usually stop to fuel/hydrate, but its better than any other balaclava which fogs up my lens, difficult to breathe, have to keep fiddling etc.
