There is this little store near my house that sells all kinds of cartoon stuff. They had a Punisher mask in the window the other day. I almost always rock a face mask when on the trails. Hence, I thought this would make for some end of the season fun/kookiness at the local mountain. Below are few pics from the lodge. I got some of the best looks from skiier mom's and their little kids.
I've been using bandanas for years now. They kinda work, but also suck majorly. My girl just got me one of these, which I have yet to use, so we'll see...
i used one of those all last year. does its job well. the only thing that bothered me about it was the thick rim under your eyes. it's annoying to have your goggles on top of it.
this whole bandana thing is wierd...its kinda new, i either never noticed it before this year or i was not paying attention...bandana's are for robbing liquor stores and sewing the fields...not riding
You wern't paying attention. That said, at my local mountain I have notice less of them this year, and much more balaclava-type things. I guess people are finally starting to realize bandana's don't really work.
I decided to buy the materials to make my own fleece-lined bandana since i didn't see any I liked online. Bought bandannas at walmart for a buck each, fleece at jo-ann fabrics cheap, and this fleece edge binding and had my mom sew it up for me. very warm and much nicer than a normal bandana, and way cheaper than anything else mentioned in this thread
I'm 17 and the full beard works out great for me, unfortunately going to a private school they make you shave it. I grow it out during the weekends though 8 P
i find a bandana is just as effective as a facemask but a hell of alot cheaper. the only problem with the bandana is keeping it from sliding down your face.
i'v figgured out how to keep it up, but it only works if your wearing a helmet. so put your helmet on first then you slip the ends of your bandana through the triangle that your helmets straps make, then tie it at the back of your head and that way, no matter how hard you ride your bandana will always stay up
And it getting damp/wet freezing up on you. Invest in something a little more than a few dollars worth of typical bandana's. If you want to still look gansta, they make bandana's with liner to keep it from getting damp/freezing up.

i might have put some stupid advice about using t-shirt sleeves as face masks earlier...
i retract my previous statement... t-shirt sleeves freeze up too fast. They don't protect your face from the wind at all. You just end up with a nice thick layer of ice on the sleeve..
don't stinge and just get one of those moisture wicking bellaclavas (spelling?)
it'll be well worth it, those thigns won't freeze on you and you'll stay nice and toasty
the other night it was 30 below with wind chill so im getting the Airhole chuff mask. It has a weather resistant polyester shell to prevent from freezing and its hella warm.
Am I the only one that doesn't get the whole UA craze? To me it is just overpriced polyester. I hate polyester with a passion. Im into wool or wool blends. I got a UA hoodie and pants for Xmas and I returned them ASAP. The tag said 97% polyester! My gramma wears polyester! What makes UA better than a regular polyester hoodie anyway? :dunno:
a hoody is a hoody, either cotton or polyester. the tight-fitting UA products like the coldgear and warmgear long-john type stuff is their performance products. they aren't bulky, wick moisture, and keep you warm or cool respectively. UA is designed to help keep you comfortable without getting in the way.
i wear bandanas to keep from tanning. nothing looks more ridiculous than a goggle tan. it's way too hot for face masks here in socal.
when it does get cold, though, airblaster terryclavas are where it's at for both steeze and function.
