What's working best for you guys? I'm unused to wearing all day when it's not COLD. I tried a summer buff today in just above freezing temps and it was a PITA, got soggy and was hard to breathe through; best I've tried so far for me is thinnish wool buffs.

I like wearing a regular bandana when its warmer out, though they will get wet. Common reusable facemasks, like this https://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=653763012&vid=1&policy=1&tid=brpl000039&kwid=1&ap=7&gclid=CjwKCAiA8Jf-BRB-EiwAWDtEGgvd-A76tCqPJQHpaPtyC__wBNIKSHD0HMt0EmZjqysGiLVJs6RPJxoCYR8QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds#pdp-page-content ,actually aren't that bad for warmer skiing, but they'll leave your neck exposed.

been skiing without goggles unless it's precipitating which has helped.

I use two SA face shields and fit them like a balaclava. that works for me for any temp from -40 to spring skiing

I just used a normal cloth face mask same as I use around town. It kept my neck breezy and I had no problems with goggle fog.

The outdoor research masks I’ve found really comfortable, light, and breath well. Apparently they actually work too.

Sunglasses instead of goggles is a huge help. Your eyes can’t sneeze so you don’t have to worry about spreading just getting ‘Rona in your eyeballs I guess but meh.

And then just generally staying cool elsewhere by not wearing a down puffy and 3L waterproof shell like a sheeple doofus.

SARS masks!

Been rocking that shit since 2009.
Now they're mandatory and everyone looks as steezy as I do.
