I'm looking for a face mask. Any recommendations? I'm looking to be protected not unidentified so a cotton ghetto rag or t-shirt sleeve is not what I'm looking for. And I don't want a balaclava. This is not something I'll wear every day just when the guns are on or it's really cold and windy. I don't want to drive hours to a mountain just to fight frostbite for 8 hours. It's kind of hard to focus on riding when I'm pulling up my collar or covering my face with my arm. I searched and didn't find much more than a neoprene one. I had one of those 15 years ago or so. I 'll go with it again if need be but is there a better alternative?

I bought this basic black facemask in Utah two years ago. I find them in all equipment shops anywhere I go or even at the mountains I ride. They are light, velcro on the back and cover from the nose down. cost is around 10 bucks.

I live in the NE where cold is extreme, wind is severe and temps with wind chills get below -39. The mask works great!

Again, im sure if you check your local shop they will have these

I haven't been to the shop yet and I agree they will have something I just wanted to do a little research and get some opinions before going in. Thanks.

That's some serious protection.

I have one that MPD described that my son picked up for a Christmas present. I wouldn't part with it. He bought it in Lubbock, Tx of all places, so if they are available in lubbock you probably can find them anywhere. Wonderful little piece of equipment. Nice while riding the scooter too.

I bought one a couple years ago because of a snowstorm, and have probably only worn it once since then. Great to have when you need one. Mine is made mostly of fleece and is was made by SEIRUS. I don't really know anything about the company, it was one of those "take two runs and realize you really need something for your face" days lol.
Seirus Comfort Face Mask at Peter Glenn Ski & Sports
This is the exact one I have, they make one that goes all the way around your head like a condom too.
