Face protection while exercising outside?

RealRandomSam · November 2013

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)

Tagging to look at later. Have the same issue.

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

A company called Seirus makes masks, hoods, scarf combos etc for runners and other winter activities and it's made in the USA (I try as much as possible to avoid Made in China.....)
