EXIOWinter Neck Warmer Gaiter/Balaclava (1Pack or 2Pack) - Windproof Face Mask for Ski, Snowboard

really liked this gaiter for snowboarding, kept my face overly warm but still very breathable

If your reading this far you need to just add to cart. I've owned and used a bunch of different neck sleeves. From the thin, stretchy kind you see literally everywhere, (Which are great for certain situations) to the very thick insulated ones (which are best for very cold weather). This one is a happy medium. It's not too thin, nor too thick. It's well made and doesn't feel cheap. It basically feels like a big semi-thick sports/compression sock you would get from puma, under armor etc. It's elastic enough to stay put, but not enough to literally squeeze your face & be uncomfortable. Which is great for us who wear these while putting in work and need it to stay put. A GREAT feature of this is the area around your mouth is perferated with tiny slots so you can actually breath well while wearing it, which most others do not have. Also it's pretty good looking. Looks a little tactical and a little cool because of the subdued logo's everywhere. And the black & grey combination just looks good. It's thick enough to keep your neck & face/ears warm enough if you pull it up. It basically acts as a barrier between your skin and the weather. And its even great to wear just around your neck on days/situations were you don't need it covering your face. I hope this brand comes out with more patterns & color's because I would buy more of them as thats how much I like it. (Not sure if they do, just haven't seen them). And just a last tip. If you put the front just over your nose & pull the back up to cover your ears at the right angle as to not block your eyes, you can put on your hat or beenie on and get a lot of protection and the hat will actually keep it in place and not let it slip down. Which is how I wear mine a lot. Match this setup with a hoodie with the hood up and your good to go, rain, cold, snow, etc. I'm not saying this is best for extreme environments. That would call for a thick insulated type or hood type. But for most situations it's very adequate. I hope this review helps explain this enough to be helpful. Order one! You won't be disappointed. 🥷

***UPDATE***I'm leaving the 4 star rating, because I still wish it was a little bit tighter, I have a smaller head. I found out I am able to wear this with the back a little bit lower so the front isn't up so high; and it still won't fall off. I usually wear this with a hat(tobogan, ski cap, whatever you want to call it). I may pull it down while I run or adjust it and remove the hat depending on weather. It's gotten colder: 20-30 degrees in wet weather and I still love it. I mostly run with the mesh part in front as designed but there was one time i wore it backwards for a more closed mask and I didn't have any problems, it was definitely more restrictive. I love that it has qualities of the more rigid face masks, but it is still a soft gaiter that can just be pulled down around the neck.*****I have only used this in 40 degree weather so far. It hasn't gotten colder yet. I love it. The only reason why it lost a star was that i wish they had different sizes or that it was a little tighter. It hasn't fallen off at all while doing tempo runs or yassos but sometimes i worry about it because it feels a little loose and low on my nose. I do have a smaller head. Despite that, It works great. The breathable portion is awesome! Best of all, if you find that isn't your thing, the shape is perfectly uniform so you can switch it around and have the regular fabric over your face. I tried looking for a cheaper face covering for early morning cold weather running. I finally found this and saw it didn't have a lot of reviews but figured i would try it. I love it. It keeps my neck and face warm and protected from the cold and wind. I like their idea of the weird breathable mesh in front of the face. It allows more airflow while keeping you warmer. I hated the cold air going directly into my lungs when i was running without it. I'll edit this if i need to as it gets colder.

For working in the rice fields and working with storage bins there’s nothing like it filters out all the yuck and it’s very warm.

Good stuff

These don't fog up glasses as much as other neck gaiters but they don't eliminate fogging entirely. The fit is good and they don't look or feel cheap.

Just as pictured and described. I like that it's breathable and will be great on the slopes

This mask is a great product for the price. The comfort is a bit less than expected, but overall I am happy with my purchase. I use it on very windy, cold days, and it provides just enough warmth so I am not sweating, or ice cold. It protects from the wind, even at 0 degrees.

I’ve worn this every day this past week while working and have found it to be very comfortable whether wearing it simply as a neck gaiter or also to protect your face.It is thick enough to be warm without being overly bulky. I work outside year round and have used a number of similar products and can say this one seems to be of durable construction and worth the very reasonable price.Would definitely recommend to anyone who spends a lot of time outside in the cold.Edit: After 2 weeks of wearing this gaiter, as it’s starting to get cooler, I have returned and purchased additional gaiters in other colours and all have arrived quickly and just as good quality as the first one. Very happy!

Purchased for ATV riding. I have nothing to compare to but I was warm and able to easily breath through. I would buy again.

Comfortable and warm enough for mild wind to cold weather. Maybe opt for something thicker if you are looking for a gaiter more effective @ -10C and below.

It helps me especially when it’s windy and chilly, I like that it have a breathable vent to help you breath with ease . The material is great, it keeps you warm and it’s comfortable.

PERFECT just Awesome. Fits tightly. No issues at all. You should buy this... Will update review once tried in cold weather. January 16 2024 in -15 Celsius temps it keeps my face warm and does not fog up my glasses since it has that mesh in the front. Just the perfect add-on for cold weather.
