When buying head hats/caps & hand-wirst gear/gloves etc.,. usually take a mens medium size. This is Medium-Large size. If it is supposed to be a near snug fit THIS WILL NOT SUFFICE! It does work keeping my head warm when using my 100% Cotton Snow Beanie-Cap Over it. As for my face, when using my Hoodie pulled tight over this keeps my face from the chilly cold windy nights though slight sweat occurs.
