yowies are the thin sleeves that you pull over your head, but i dont know the name of the velcro around your face ones. i also dont know which you are asking about. im not too useful right now.

Yeah, I think you're thinking of yowies. They're dope. My only complaint is when it's really cold the water vapor from my breath freezes. So it gets really hard and I usually spend the chairlift ride up trying to melt it again.

You're thinking of a facetube

There is the artic yowie, the Saga facemask and the Causwell Watson Gaitor. I have the causwell gaitor and love it.

artic yowie is the same, just has a fleece section added to teh bottom, acts like a scarf. it's super dope.



yowies are definitely more breathable than a regular cotton bandana though... everyone look into them

under armor actually makes them. someone took my free flow bag, and left a bag in its place with a under armor bandanna and it is AWESOME

sorry to the guy who took my bag. you got shafted homie
