Perfect for the blistery days on Slopes
This particular over the helmet hood is great, it is fleece, stays dry as long as it is fresh powder snow and not ice or rain coming down. It has both neck and face protection. It helps reduce the wind chill and protect both the front and back of the neck even on those blustery mountain days. It runs big on purpose so if you are looking to wear it as a hat, it will fit more like a jacket hood. For our female snow lovers that want something they can wear while their hair is in a ponytail, we highly recommend ordering your normal size. If not planning to wear over a helmet or with a high ponytail then order a size down.
So warm but really big
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this when it was on sale and I got a s/m. It is really big and the part that is in the front that's supposed to cover your face is really wide and not covering. I wish you could adjust that part, but you can adjust the hood and it does become tighter so it's not that bad. I do like it and it covers the helmet since I put it over it. It is also really really warm and its very easy to breath through it. For reference I am a woman, my size helmet is medium and the hood is really big even for men with medium size head should get s/m. If your head is super small then I really recommend the kids size because it's cheaper and better with size. I regret not getting the kids size.
Recommend L/XL
I bought this over hood for a friend and they wear a size medium helmet. We got an L/XL for them and it fits over the helmet well, providing enough space, but it seems to have a lot of excess fabric on the top. It creates a “peak” on top of the helmet. The S/M was too small and the L/XL does work better… so if you’re in-between sizes I would recommend the larger. Other than that, great design! The inner liner works well to have over the face and can be adjusted to tighten if needed. The fabric is soft and comfortable. Perfect for those days when the snow doesn’t stop and the wind is howling!
Love it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best thing I ever purchased for snowboarding season
Too large
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Definitely an awesome hood but it was to large .
I like it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is comfortable and the color is beautiful
S/M doesn't fit comfortably over M helmet
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Despite what the staff said, the small/medium size does not fit over a medium helmet unless you are okay with not seeing or breathing. The fabric that goes over the face is sewn in too high and the toggles to adjust the size are very annoying to use and don't really work well. The material is warm and soft but does not stretch much. It is too large/loose/thick to be worn under a snowboarding S/M helmet. There are other products on the market that are a lot better. I would return but the shop I bought it from said that I couldn't :(
great for
I bought this for working outdoors and it’s changed the game for me. It has kept me warm everyday that I’ve used it so far!
Cold Weather Gaiter and Hood
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was looking for a new Winter Neck Warmer with a Hood Function because I work outside during the Winter Months. The regular Neck Gaiter NF sells was a little tight on me. So I bought this L/XL size, b/c I played sports and that is usually my helmet size. But the product was definitely too Large and Loose. So I measured my head exactly and got 23". Even though my Head Size Fit with the L/XL region. I bought the S/M and that fit much better so if I wear it as a hood it is not Super Baggy. And if I wear as a Gaiter it covers up to my nose and ears. Just know the product runs big... The large size must be for people who snowboard or something like in the image. (My only issue with this product is that the drawstrings have a weird system/orientation to make the hood tighter but can live with it) Body Dimension of Myself: 6'2', 260lb (Head Circumference 23" = Bought S/M)
I would buy it again and again because of it quality.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Coming from a country where winters don't hit much over the facial portion it's one of the best and super warm cozy gilets I have come across. Its fleece layering makes it more comfy and comfortable, and keeps the nose, chin, and cheekbones protected from severe cold winds. Its elastic thread sockets give the face to move in any direction, even wiping up the thick gloves.
