Cindy - 2009-09-30Would like light colors
I would have rated this product N/A as I have no problems with the quality of the item. I would like to see face masks in light colors, black makes a person look like a suspicious robber. The shipping to try out an item is so high, that a person hesitates buying on-line.

The main thing that separates this from other face masks I've used is the mesh area covering the nose and mouth, which allows for breathing without collecting moisture. It stays dry and keeps you warm!
Jason - 2009-02-04Very Happy
I have had the chance to use this mask several times in the cold Minnesota winter. Recently we have been having -25 temps with windchill around -40. Add that with wind and it is cold!!
Overall, I am happy with this mask as it is doing exactly what I needed it too!!It fits well and I have not had any issues with it!!

Katherine Coons - 2009-01-07Awesome Face Protection!
This face mask is the perfect way to keep your face warm and protected! It fits secure enough not to move, but yet is still very comfortable. Stays dry and is very easy to wash! I wear it every day I run, and love it!!!!
dennis caffrey - 2008-12-26yes, it is everything that all the reviews declare.
it is light, fits in a pocket without bulging & when needed, is quite a necessity. really helps in the blustery, cold weather of the northeast without the constraints of a balaclava.

I purchased this mask for my husband and he loved it! I was glad it fit him perfectly. It's warm and comfortable and breathable, which he really appreciated. Wrap around feature is very convenient. Great product! I just wish I found it earlier.

E & D McKenney - MN - 2008-01-30Fantastic Product!
I bought it for my husband who has many health issues and occasionally has to spend short periods of time outside for work. It is easy for him to put on, he said it is very comfortable and warm, and best of all his glasses don't steam up! We received the mask in less than a week after I placed the order. We have been completely satisfied with the ordering process and product.

Francie Wright - 2008-01-23Really Works!
I bought two of these masks because I wasn't sure of the size. I bought them for my son to try and thought I would send one back BUT after I tried on the one he didn't use I kept it. Very comfortable even for just walking the dog in 10 degree weather. It is so nice to not have a frozen face when I get home!

Bill Cobleigh - 2008-01-16this face mask does the job nicely.
This face mask is well tailored to fit the lower part of the face, without restricting movement, while keeping the cheeks and chin warm and the goggles clear (no fogging problems experienced)

After weeks of internet surfing looking for a mask. I can honestly say that i found what i was looking for, its very comfortable and easy to put on using the velco. I really like the way it stays in place when you move and it doesnt feel like your choking. I really recommend this product!!!

Anonymous - 2008-01-03So glad I tried it!
After dealing with 4 cases of bronchitis and 5 asthma flares last winter from running in the cold I decided to get smart and try one of these masks. It is UNBELIEVABLY effective. It is very comfortable to wear (no suffocation and very flexible), my face doesn't burn from the wind, & my lungs aren't screaming. I am at buying at least one more of these--highly recommended for anyone who works or plays outside in the cold.

Edna E Luxenberg - 2007-12-31Great
My husband was looking for a mask that won't blurry his glasses when he rides his motorcycle. I found this site and bought the mask and he is so happy that now he wants to have cold weather to use it.

R. - 2007-10-27Love It!!!!
This is great for running!! Very comfortable!! Velcro in back makes it so easy to put on. I found that most face/neck masks make me feel like I can't turn my head to the side or it 'moves' out of place(nose-mouth openings), but this mask is great!! You can turn your head and it moves with you!! Also with most masks, I feel like I can't breathe-like I'm sucking in 'old' air with not enough oxygen-this mask is great, somehow it blocks the wind yet lets fresh air in without feeling cold. Normally I cannot run in cold weather because I will get sore throats(and other masks "suffocate")-but this mask has made outdoor winter running possible again!! Yeah!!!

Lauren Eger - 2006-10-09Awesome!
I was a bit worried about being able to breathe through the mask. But the mesh part is really awesome. PLus it's comfortable to wear.

Reuben Ryder - 2005-09-05Awesome Cold Weather Value
This is just a great piece of gear to have for those occasions when nothing else will do. Easily stows away in a pocket and is ready when you need it. On a really cold day or you've been out there too long and the sun is going down, this face mask provides that extra bit of comfort that make all the difference between wishing I never went out there and having a GREAT DAY. Da! The sizing seems pretty true, but if things always seem small on you, then you might want to size up.

Joe Hettiarachchy - 2005-01-285-star review! I hardly EVER give 5-stars!!
Great product, great service, lightning fast shipping. This windstopper is 100% better than the one I was using before. I very rarely give a perfect review (I'm a very critical person by nature), but this experience deserves it. Customer service is awesome. I read a review below about sizing. I am 5'9 150 pounds with an average sized head. The medium fits perfectly. The large would probably have been too big for me. Use altrec's sizing chart. A perfect fit is what resulted for me using this chart.. Thanks altrec!

JERRY ALBERTINI - 2005-01-23Great Product
Went skiing the other day,it was 12 deg. Worked great, no cold face. Velcro made it easy to put on and take off. Altrec is great company to order from. Speedy shipping and no hassle return. Had to send first one back because of size.

Tamy in NH - 2005-01-18Asthma Relief!
I have been unable to run outdoors in the winter for years because the cold, dry air causes asthmatic coughing fits. I love the Outdoor Research mask because it warms the air coming in, but doesn't cause a bunch of soggy moisture build-up around my mouth. Now,for the first time in years, I can run outdoors in the winter and am not trapped indoors on my treadmill. The only thing I would change is having a method for figuring out the correct size to order. I ordered a small, and it's a bit snugger than I'd like. The small size seems more appropriate for children than adults. If you're a petite adult, order a medium.

Anonymous - 2005-01-06Great face protector
I wear glasses and if I wear those one piece hat and face protector my glasses steam up. This is great because there is a opening for your nose and it doesn't fog up your glasses. Would buy again..

Nancy - 2004-12-2684 year old up-state NY woman loves this face mask
I purchased this face mask for my 84 year old mother, Sarah, who lives in frigid upstate NY near the Canadian border. She suffered from severe head aches after being exposed to the seemingly ever present sharp winds of winter so of course she avoided going outside for walks which she normally enjoyed very much. She loves this mask because now nothing can stop her from stayng healthy and in shape all winter so she can remain strong for spring gardening . Now she will also be able to put the snow shoes she bought to use more.

Ed K. - 2004-12-26Does a great job!
I walk outdoors all year around and the Northeast winters can really chill when the temp is 12 degrees and the wind is whipping. I have enough winter gear to keep reasonably warm but my face would always freeze. I recently bought a windstopper face mask and it really does work. I won't walk without it now on cold days. I would recommend it to anyone who spends a lot of time outdoors in winter time. Th only drawback is that you may appear to some that you are about to hold up the local stagecoach. Personally I'd rather be warm then care about that.

Ivan Ong - 2003-12-24Works Great!
I wear glasses and do a lot of Astronomy outdoors on cold freezing nights for long hours. I find that the typical full face baclava interferes with the side arms of my glasses, hence I got this. It works great! Wind stopping capability is excellent, the gauze for exhaling prevents my glasses from fogging up. It is also very comfortable to wear for hours on end.

I just used this for the first time today. It was 28 degrees outside and I had to bike to work. Its only a mile so not to bad but the mask kept my face nice and warm for the quick trip.
One note though is that with heavy breathing it will collect some moisture but I'm sure that will happen with any mask.
Anthony Oeswadi - 2008-01-28Great for Stromy weather
My friend and I purchased this mask for our snowboarding trip. It was stormy that day with wind chill close to -11 F. This mask kept me warm throughout the whole day. It does collect some moisture though after 2 hours of continuous usage. Overall, I'm satisfied.
