Experience the perfect balance of natural performance and comfort with the Airtube Ergo Merino. Crafted from a blend of 35% Merino Wool and 65% Polyester, this neck gaiter provides exceptional heat management, moisture-wicking capabilities, and odour prevention—all while being incredibly lightweight. The ergonomic design contours to your face for a secure fit, making it an ideal choice for high-output activities in cold conditions. Whether you're riding powder or hiking icy trails, the Airtube Ergo Merino keeps you warm, dry, and comfortable.
The Airtube is our neck gaiter, or neck warmer, for snowboarding and skiing. It stays put under a helmet and goggles with no seam across the nose.
The Airhole at the mouth is embroidered: a thick, padded satin stitch rings the hole, so it's soft right against your skin. Your breath goes out through it instead of up into your goggles. Merino stays warm when wet. On our warmth scale merino is an Everyday fabric, for roughly 0 to −10°C.
Sizes: S/M fits heads 50–55 cm, M/L fits 55–60 cm.

Warm & Dry Merino
Breathable Merino traps warmth while wicking moisture and drying fast — dry and warm through the coldest days.
Fed up with wet, frozen masks in the backcountry, Canadian pro snowboarders Chris Brown and Kale Stephens took to Kale's grandma's old sewing machine and cut up worn-out jackets until the fit was right. The result was the patented Airhole Breath Hole. Today it's worn by our global team, from Terje Haakonsen and Roope Rautiainen to Yuto Miyamura.

Great product. … Especially the merino.

Frequently asked questions
It depends on the fabric. Warmest to lightest:
- Coldest days, -10 to -25°C (14 to -13°F): Polartec® Shearling Fleece, 10K Softshell
- Cold days, -5 to -15°C (23 to 5°F): Polar Fleece, Milk Fleece, Polartec® Power Dry
- Everyday, 0 to -10°C (32 to 14°F): Microfleece, Drytech, Waffle Fleece, Polartec® 100, Merino
- Warmer days and hiking, +5 to -5°C (41 to 23°F): Drylite, Hyper Hole
Riding at -20°C and below, or in big wind? Go Shearling or Softshell.
Yes. The hinged balaclavas have a shaped face panel that sits flat under a helmet without bunching, and folds down when you need to eat, drink or breathe. Airtubes pull up over your face and stay put under a helmet and goggles. Riding an Airhood with a helmet? Pick the Helmet Fit version.
That's what the Airhole is for. Warm breath goes out through the mouth opening instead of up into your goggles, so your lenses stay clearer and the mask doesn't turn clammy. The Laser styles do the same job through laser-cut micro-airholes.

I have huskies so I have zero excuse not to walk/run them in the worst temps. I love Buff too but even they don't stand up to the moisture that builds up over my mouth and nose when I use them as face coverings. Airtube Ergo Polar Fleece has solved it. I live in the Alberta Rockies and using this Canadian product feels authentic and really good. The raven design is awesome. Thanks!
Thanks Seigur for the review. Glad the Airtube Ergo Polar Fleece x Blake Jorgenson is delivering. See you out there.

I live and die by airhole facemasks and would recommend them to everybody I know. Never get goggle fog and the mask stays dry and warm. And the Shmobb one is by far the best looking hands down.

This is perfect for milder winter days. Even when it gets wet from breath it dries up very quickly

The vent holes don’t quite do enough to properly vent the exhalation vapor and the mask ends up being well saturated after a few hours of wear. Still retains the thermal insulation benefits but the wet of the mask is a drawback for wearing on a full day in the elements.
Joseph, thanks for the thoughtful review. Moisture build-up over a long day is a fair criticism, and it's good to hear the warmth holds up even when it's wet. Please email info@endeavordesigninc.com if you'd like to talk through options.

I ended up unable to wear this as my glasses and goggles would immediately fog. It proved less effective than a cheap mask I bought with mesh sides.
Mark, sorry this one didn't work with your glasses and goggles. Fogging is a real deal-breaker, and I appreciate you telling us straight. Please email info@endeavordesigninc.com and let's figure out whether a different mask would work better for you.

Stays dry and keeps you warm. I thought breathing out of my nose would still make this facemask wet like other non air hole masks, but just having the air hole by your mouth keeps it dry around your nose too. Great product that fixes the main problem of all buffs.
Thanks Todd! Stoked the Airtube Ergo Waffle Fleece is working for you. Enjoy the season.

High quality and good fit, except the air hole is way too high for me. The air hole is above my lips when my nose is covered, guess I can use it as a neck warmer…
David, thanks for the detailed feedback. Where the hole sits depends a lot on face shape, and on you it's landing too high. Email info@endeavordesigninc.com and we'll help you find a fit that lines up better.

Simple design solution to an age old problem... moisture and goggle fog.
Well made product and the silicone mouthpiece is a great material choice to avoid chapped lips.
Cannot recommend this product enough.

So simple yet so effective.
Fit results in zero exposed skin. Lips are against silicone as a non-absorbing material.
This product is high quality and industry changing. I can’t speak highly enough about it.

Didn't notice a huge difference in dryness from my original mask/wrap. Still great though kept out the cold well!

The waffle is a cooler and air-ier option than my polar fleece, the mouthpiece is a bit of an upgrade too. Though for wearing underneath goggles the top seam is much thicker and stiffer than the fleece material. This makes it almost unbearable to wear under goggles if you have a bigger bridge of your nose..
Scott, thanks for the detailed review. Good to hear the waffle breathes better, and fair point on the top seam under goggles. I'll pass that along to our design team. Email info@endeavordesigninc.com if you'd like to talk it through.

Scott, thanks for the honest review. Glad the Waffle and the mouthpiece are working for you. The stiff top seam under goggles on a higher nose bridge is fair feedback and I'll share it with the design team. Email info@endeavordesigninc.com if you'd like help with it.

Airhole always delivers. Easily the best facecover for snowboarding. I have tried multiple styles from airhole but the tube style is by far the winner. Soft on the inside, stylish on the outside, and warm!

I got 2 of the same masks in different prints and one is significantly smaller that my face is squished but the other is comfortable. I got them both in small. The one that fits does keep my goggles from fogging up and is warm though.
Sorry about the sizing difference. Two masks in the same size shouldn't fit that differently, and that's a consistency problem on our end. Email info@endeavordesigninc.com and we'll swap out the one that's too tight.

Love the polar fleece AirHole. Keeps me warm and doesn’t fog my glasses. No need for adjusting as the AirTube Ergo stays put. I definitely recommend the AirTube Ergo.

The milk fleece is very soft and warm. I’ve worn it for extended periods with windchills –30ºC or lower without worrying about frostbite or my glasses fogging up. The fit is comfortable and I’ve had no issues with it falling down.

Milk Fleece is so soft and warm. Keeps my ears warm as well. Does not fog up my glasses as I breath through the AirHole. Definitely would recommend this mask. I own 3 Airhole face masks in various styles and love and recommend them all.
Thanks Ao! Love hearing this. Hope the Airtube Ergo Milk Fleece gives you plenty of good days.
