Zanheadgear® Half Mask Neoprene Black

What I like: I used this mask for skiing several days in temperatures around and below zero F. It was so great for keeping my face warm, even if the mask became moist. I’m so impressed with the small breathing holes around the mouth and by the neoprene - it made for a much much more comfortable experience than any other ski mask I’ve tried. I never felt like I couldn’t get a good breath, the air I was breathing still felt fresh and cool, but my face stayed warm! Despite the moisture that inevitably ends up on my mask, it didn’t become less warm or more uncomfortable. I’m surprised that there aren’t more variations of neoprene ski masks - it’s just so much better than anything else I’ve tried. What isn’t so great: I’m a woman with an average to large head size. This face mask bordered on being too large for me. It’s still functional for me but it might not be for some people. I also still experienced goggle fogging, but I am a mouth breather, I’m assuming it would be better for nose breathers. I also assume it might not be an issue if the mask were to fit snug on me.

I had one of these years ago when I lived in Cleveland, Ohio. I've recently moved to the Netherlands and this thing works just like I remember. It fits pretty well and adjusts easily. It does tend to slide down on me a bit but it's not too bothersome. Plus, I knew what I was getting. The only real negative with these types of masks is the condensation from your breath makes them pretty wet and gross after a while. I recommend handwashing them frequently to keep the germs/smell at bay

I purchased this item for use when riding a bike in cold weather. Temps below the mid 30s seem to make my face feel a bit wind burned after a long ride. The item shipped quickly and was packaged sufficiently. The mask is well made, no quality concerns there, but it is a bit too small for me to properly wear. I had to make it quite tight to get even the slightest amount of Velcro to adhere. The Velcro held nicely, having a strong grip. As long as I helod my head upright and straight, it was not too bad. Once on the bike, I had to tilt my head back to see the road and that's where it's smaller size affects it's use. The Velcro held fine, but the mask tightened even more than before, causing it to push my nose in. This restricted my breathing to the point that it was just not comfortable. Additionally, it tends to fog my glasses. The mask is of good quality and the Velcro holds tight. It provides good protection from the wind and cold. For normal use I'm sure it would be fine but for riding a bicycle, you may want to find something else. Maybe I just have a big head, maybe it's made a bit smaller than the average US consumer. Overall it's a good mask that just didn't work for what I intended to use it for.

I modified mine, the nosehole was not wide enough and i cut it further, and it works fine. I wear glasses and some of the exhaled hot air from my nose goes up and fogs my glasses and this is sort of an issue that I wish didn't exist. I wear a lot of gear on my face and the area that runs across the top is trimmed, and it contacts the upper bridge of my nose and does apply a little bit of pressure (the pressure is aided by my large protective/proscription eye wear and other gear) and it gets a bit uncomfortable/painful for a full days work. Thankfully the mask itself does very well with the moisture that i breath out. The mask does not get cold on my skin in sub zero degrees Fahrenheit, though note that if you wear this over a balaclava or any type of cloth, even if that cloth is down at your chin and not in proximity of your nose or mouth, the cloth will collect moisture, resulting in a cold face upon removing the mask. Wearing this item under everything, or over everything, both have advantages and disadvantages, but overall I will continue to use this product unless I stumble across something that can do what it does and better.

This item 'imho' is deliberately made 'way too small in the back where it Velcro's together' so that you have to buy the extension piece they sell for another $8 to make it fit even a small adult's head. What a scam! Don't waste your money on it. The front fits fine and it 'may' fit an extremely small head perhaps a young child, but definitely not an adult, even with a small head. The company if they have any credibility should advertise it as a child's mask or give a circumference measurement to take out any guess work. There is even a piece of cardboard in its packaging that says, "Still too small? Try our neoprene extension piece". Hey Zan headgear, just make the thing the right size to begin with!

Bought for a 100 mile winter ultra. Loved it. Comfortable and roomy, could breathe well and not feel suffocated or have fabric chafe my face. In extreme cold the air holes let in a little too much cold air so I wore a light medical mask under it for a couple hours in the teens, had to protect lungs from the cold which can be brutal on them over 100 miles. I like that it's a little rigid, kept my cheeks warm as a wind block and never slipped out of place. Buying another one as a backup.

I bought one of these and I use it. I helps a lot to keep my cheeks from freezing on those cold morning motorbike rides to work. It does work, it is easily washed and dries well. I don't find that it fits me too well, if I try to adjust the velcro closure snuggly enough to keep it in place it comes loose because the two patches of velcro have just about bypassed one another. Fortunately, I can adjust the mask loosely and use the snugness of my helmet to hold the mask up. It works for me. And my neck etc. may be smaller than the average. I recommend this product to protect you from frostbite and discomfort.

This product wraps around your head from the base of your skull, at your hairline at the back of your head, across your nose. The circumference of this mask, with the Velcro completely overlapping, is only 17.5 inches. The Velcro extends 2.5 inches. The circumference of my head from my nose to the back of neck at the hairline is 20 inches. I wear a hat size of 7.5 for my head. I can wear this thing, but only using 1/2 inch of the Velcro, and it is eating into my face. I would only purchase this mask for young children or adults with small head sizes. Better yet, purchase a face mask that includes Turtle Fur and some elasticity. They will be much more comfortable.

Realmente útil y cómodo para el frío, también te cubre un poco de la contaminación, realmente duradero

Für große Köpfe leider zu klein. Habe hinten etwas zur Verlängerung einnähen müssen.

Love it...exactly as described. Keeps my face protected when sledding. Only down side...I have a small face so sometimes it slides up ...if there was a smaller version...perfect for women. But still a great buy. Very happy with it

Tengo problemas de sinusitis por lo que compré esta máscara para poder correr en las mañanas con frío sin tener que estar teniendo problemas con el aire frío, me ha funcionado a la perfección, el material es bueno y creo que es un precio justo. He leído en otros comentarios que si eres muy cabezón no te queda, en mi caso me considero de cabeza normal y me queda de maravilla; próximamente pienso comprar otra para la época de frío y poderla usar en mis traslados mañaneros.

Was a bit awkward to wear at first, but I’ve cut it up now so it now fit my enormous head and it’s very comfortable to wear
