Airhole Balaclava Polar Fleece x Mason Mashon Summit

This doesn't work for me. I purchased it for walking in freezing temperatures. First and most importantly, there's a nose seam/shape that doesn't fit my face. I can't effectively adjust the material placement (ie pull it lower and have it stay), so the "cheek" material hits my eyes uncomfortably. Second, the Brick color doesn't match the online image. Rather than a saturated brick red, it's more of a pale copper. (See pic.) Finally, a loose thread made me question its durability. I'm disappointed and plan to return.

I'm cis female, 5'4", 120ish lbs, with somewhat narrow-set eyes and a lower-than-average nose bridge. Purchased size S/M. I'd love to see pics/video of women wearing this exact fleece mask over their faces comfortably because it doesn't add up for me!

I always enjoy a nice -18°C or less with Airhole Balaclava backing my face. Love your style!

I spent a lot of time comparing balaclavas before purchasing this one, considering many brands in various fabrics and designs. Because my wife rides her bicycle in the winter (in Canada!) it was essential that her balaclava be warm in the coldest weather while fitting under her helmet and with goggles. Today it was -14c and she was able to put it to a real test. Victory!

The micro fleece face covering is soft and plenty warm, with a hole over the mouth to prevent fogging. The design is clever, with a hinge which allows the mouth covering to be pulled below the chin, while the head covering is Lycra, fitting easily under a helmet while providing warmth.

A perfect balaclava for cold winter cycling, skiing and more!

Just perfect! Goodbye to frozen nose or fog in the goggles!

Great fit, love the hinge

The product works relatively good, the ventilation doesn’t do much difference when compared to a regular balaclava. Had to contact them multiple times to get the order shipped and it took more than two weeks to ship, to top it off the order came incomplete and they didn’t try to contact to offer a substitute. Products can be good but how you treat your customers determines your success.

I followed the size guide on their website and my head is at the lower end of measurement for S/M. But it turned a bit snug for me. Interestingly, with it being too small, the distance from the nose to mouth hole is too much, like another reviewer had pointed out. It is less noticable when you are on the go as it will bunch up a little. But I cannot say everyone will like how it feels. Other than that, it does its job. Condensation is much improved and fogging is literally gone.

Keeps me warm down to -20C, wind chill extra points. Works better than original for keeping the goggles clear… I have both types Polar Fleece and regular, depending on the temperature.

The Best

Can’t believe I didn’t grab one sooner! My face doesn’t get soaked and my goggles don’t fog, so all in all, awesome product

no more foggy goggles and I can show my bottom teeth!

Best balaclavas out there!

Great quality

It took just one day of skiing wearing the polar fleece balaclava with the lasered air holes to convert me. Full face coverage with normal breathing and without foggy goggles! Finally! After my second ski day wearing an Airhole balaclava, I bought three more — for my wife, my son, and his girlfriend. This is the solution to a longstanding problem for me — and it’s great to check that issue off the list for good.

Best in the game. This one is super warm!

While the quality and functionality of this balaclava are good, it didn't quite work for me. Condensation built up on my face despite the hole in the mouth area, to the point I had to take it off. Before everything got really wet, I was also cold because of the mouth hole. Coming down the slope while skiing with the wind in your face, the big hole let all the cold air inside my neck and face area which defeated the purpose of having face/neck covering. I really wanted this to work for me, as most of the reviews are very positive, but it just didn't...

Balaclava Combo | Microfleece + Drytech

This version of the balaclava is perfect for those that prefer a lightweight balaclava that won't make you overly warm on the mountain but does its job of blocking wind and snow from hitting you in the face.

When I am exerting a high level of energy while boarding, I find that the mask still restricts the airflow too much that I actually have to pull the mask down below my nose and mouth in order to have enough air coming through.

When you are on mellow runs though, this balaclava works exactly as intended in terms of providing enough air flow as well as ensuring that your goggle won't fog up. Even with the imperfection that I mentioned above, I would still recommend this mask overall.

Does what it’s supposed to. Way thinner than expected but is what it is I guess.

This is hands down the best face mask for snowboarding/skiing on the market. Since I had a close call with melanoma I’ve been rocking different face coverings, and this is by far the best option on the market. The feel against your skin, the warmth, the look, and the SPF protection all contribute to this being the choice. The small laser holes allow me to breath freely and not fog up my goggles. Highly recommend.

Looks awesome and fits amazingly

Super warm, and very breathable thanks to the laser holes. Couldn’t feel wind at all on my face!

I love all my Airholes; this is my daily go-to for so-so weather in the Rockies.
The fit is superb for both my head and my husband’s head. The performance exceeds our expectations.
