I need something that won't turn into a sheet of ice like my bandana does and something that fits with a helmet better than my balaclava.  Thank ya.

ah beat me to it.

But i own 7 and i can assure you that the regular ones are super breathable and the arctic yowies will keep you warm. PLUS there are like 50 different ways you can use it besides a facemask

most definetly, dont get black, because any colour you get you can pull up the fleece part and make it black, so if ur debating black or not get the other or get both cuz there such a good price

but when wearing it as artic, you fold the fleece into the normal part, and you dont suffocate then so why would you suffocate when you just have the fleece part
BTW SPACEWALK PRINT IS SO SICK

Do you breathe out of your mouth when you ski?? i literally have had the problem of it getting soaked in moister like 5 times but it was because i was hiking and breathing hard.

This is a little off topic but are armada balaclavas worth the 25 or would it be better to just get a dakine one for 10 more?
