        Comments about Talus ColdAvenger Pro Face Mask:

        I tested this out this morning at about 15 above on my commute. The incoming air was as if I had no mask on and the sensation of humidity building inside the mask was more unbearable than a fleece balaclava. I had to remove this a mile in and replace it with my Gula polyester mask I've been using the last 3 years.

        The "Ventilation System" is a piece of rubber that floats behind the mouth piece with the same pattern cut out as the external mouth.

        Sorry to leave a bad review but I had expected this product to offer me a comfortable experience on my winter month commutes and downhill adventures, especially at this price. This looks silly and doesn't add comfort below 32f. Look elsewhere.

          Comments about Talus ColdAvenger Pro Face Mask:

          Did not fit me well. My head is a little larger than most, along with a broader nose (I still look normal, just how I'm built). I have this problem with facemasks, hats, etc. If you have a XL to XXL head, I think your face's structure and nose will make or break the fit. Fit my wife well.

            This is an amazing product...it's one of those "why didn't I think of that!" I carry it in my jacket for those days when the temperatures fall below comfort level. Wrap it around my head and I'm off doing what I want. The fit is adjustable due to the velcro. I've had facemasks before, but none that did what I wanted them - no moisture, warm air, and breathability. Top notch!

              I use this when commuting on my bicycle in winter. Does a great job with the cold air. Even though they don't claim it wont fog glasses, it did not fog mine. I similar products but found this the best. Not a fashion statement though, and initially it scared my dog.

              Great! But has its flaws

              Comments about Talus ColdAvenger Pro Face Mask:

              Overall it works great while snowboarding. The rubber respiratory system keeps moister away from your face and lets it out the vents. Moister also collects along the inside of the rubber which is kinda gross. However, all face masks collect moister on the inside anyways except that other masks rub that moister back on your face. Because it is rubber I usually take it off every few hours and just wipe it down and its back to brand new in seconds instead of staying very wet. Your mouth will feel noticeably warmer and humid which prevents chapped lips even with it being exposed to the cold temperatures.

              The biggest flaw is its fit which is why I do not rate it 5 stars. The respiratory system tends to rest on your nose. At times it will make breathing from your nose difficult. On the slopes we tend to breath from my mouth so this did not cut off any air circulation. A quick adjustment usually fixes this for another couple hours.

              At the lounge I tend to get lots and lots of stares while wearing my mask AND goggles. Very entertaining to see peoples' reaction when they do not know you are looking back at them

              This face mask does what it's meant to do well enough for me to overlook its major flaw. I am very looking forward to version 2 that fixes the fitting problem.

              I wore this mask skiing and all last winter. I had NO PROBLEMS with it. I even wore while training for a marathon in freezing temperatures. You will look like Darth Vader but for me it beats being cold. I pull it down and use it as a gator when it is too warm.
