I use neoprene masks when its really cold. This is one that I have.

The two best options in my opinion are the Under Armour Cold Gear Balaclava and Airhole Ninja Masks. Airhole is a great product by a company run by the biggest d-bags ever; it pains me to give them money.

Nike also has a balaclava that's exactly the same as the UA one but it incorporates their sphere tech. I have it and love it.

i got a really nice neff one. this year was my first year riding with one and omg its SO much more comfortable. you can concentrate more on shredding instead of how much your face hurts.
i tried to take a run in the middle of the season without it and i failed. Too harsh lol |

I think the bandana I wear is Bula Bandanas. Pretty sure they make beanies, scarfs, bandanas. The bandanas are thick, not just a regular bandana. Its like a layer of fleece and I love it

I'm not sure completely on the rules for the stuff, but on another forum I read in their ski/snowboard thread for this year a member of that forum posted that he started making his own that he has called 'Powder Bandits'
http://www.f2outerwear.com/ A dozen or so people ended up getting them and liked them. |

airblaster pterryclava... thick enough where you don't need a beanie without a helmet but still thin enough to wear under a helmet (at least for me)...

Beleclava is a great idea
OR just buy multiple bandannas 
I picked up a few from sierra on my last order, for a buck each I couldn't go wrong! |

this is the one I have. It's great for cold temps and the combo neck fleece definitely helps

I have a balaclava from REI, which seems to work just fine. Also, it's not too thick and fits under a helmet. I think it's a seasonal item, though.

Get one of the fleece backed ones. NEFF makes them but you can find cheaper noname brands sometimes too.

I also don't recommend bandana. I have one and it freezes pretty quickly. On any serious cold day, you'll need full facemasks/baclavas. It's ok to look like a terrorist/ninja!

I would definitely have to recommend the airhole facemasks. They are truly the best. The neff ones arent bad either.

The availability of airhole bites. Not sure why their supply is so short, but I think I am going to give the UA a try.

I'm probably going to switch to a facemask from my Buff. It's better than nothing, but it gets easily soaked from either snow/ice or just condensation from exhaling. And the fleece ones were impossible to breathe through.

i find that the fleece warmer is too hot even when it's way cold. Thats why i'm trying to get something else to work. I just need something to break the wind.

I always have issues with the bandana. I finally got the ninja mask looking deal with airholes. The bandana feels harder to breathe in to me. And cold days they freeze. I need all the warmth I can get coming from FL, if there's snow it's a cold day to me.

if you have a local liquidation shop or something, you should buy one of those face masks. they're usually around 10$, as opposed to the ones you buy on the mountain which are like 40$

This is a good thread. I just used bandanas and when it's colder a full polyester balaclava from my DC jacket. Next season I want a proper thicker lower face cover.

I never wear a bandanna and always end up freezing. I'm probably gonna get one of those Dregen face masks cause they look sick. a balaclava would be nice for those blizzardy days too.
