I work at a 40-acre apartment complex, and by far the least pleasant task is snow removal every winter. Between snow-blowing, shoveling and salting, I'm usually out in the bitter cold for 4 or more hours at a time. I've been getting by with a warm winter cap and a scarf, but the scarf keeps unraveling or slipping out of place. So I picked up a couple of these masks, and they make a big difference!

This mask provides excellent face protection in the cold, and when I do my hours-long snow removal work, it's usually starting at 6 in the morning when it is often in the single digits temperature-wise. My face and ears remain comfortably warm, and are protected from the howling winds in my area. I do still use the winter cap though, for added protection.

The one nit I must pick with this mask is that the eye holes are separated only by a couple of threads. Seems a bit flimsy to me. The connection hasn't broken yet, but it undoubtedly will. But that's OK; even if it does and this turns into a 2-hole mask instead of a three-hole, these masks are still very much worth the low price I paid for them.
