Face protection while exercising outside?

RealRandomSam

I went for a walk early this morning, and as you can probably guess, it was quite cold. I wasn't out for very long, but my face was numb by the time I got home. I brought a scarf with me for the walk, but it kept slipping.

What's a good way to keep my face warm while outside? I don't want to forego walks or runs this winter. =/

I recently got the seirus comfort masque from amazon. I really like it because it keeps my face warm but also keeps the air going into my lungs warmer too. I really hate breathing in bitter cold air.

Downside is that my 9 yo laughs when he sees me wear it and says I look like a robber.

Get a neck warmer that can be pulled up over your face and secured or get a balaclava.

Ski masks. I recommend a color other than black, and avoiding convenience stores.

I bought this for Cross Country Skiing: http://www.seirus.com/snow-sports-detail/2263/?ltag=snow-sports-ByTag//
and I really like the look of what @ClassickQC posted: http://www.underarmour.com/shop/ca/en/mens-coldgear-infrared-hood/pid1239863-002 (would be great on less cold days as the seirus one is a little more heavy duty)

I wear a good ski mask, not a cheap loosly knit one, but a good ski mask! Works great for an hour run for me

i've always been a trojan man but i find that magnums work better for face protection

The other day Costco had a fleece balaklava for $10. Two days later I ran 7miles in an ice storm. Best $10 I ever spent.

Bahaha. Came back to this. I may buy this. It also doubles as a creeper deflector on long runs solo for me XD
