Review of ColdAvenger Pro Soft Shell Mask

Customer Ratings:

I never wear face masks because they always freeze up and seem to make things worse. I just got back from skiing Breckenridge where I used the mask at 15 degrees with gale force winds. Everyone on the chair lift was burying their faces, but I didn't feel a thing. No wind burn, no freezing water around my face. The humidification of inhaled air was also nice. This product will make all the difference on being able to enjoy the outdoors on a cold day.

I've tended to avoid masks because they usually freeze over and do more harm than good. However, I decided to give the Cold Avenger Pro a chance, so I used it for the first time while skiing. I spent most of the day on the steeps and in the powder, so a lot of heavy breathing and condensation, and it stood the test. It was a particularly windy and cold day as well. While a moderate amount of condensation does remain in the mouth area, it's not a factor unless you actually mashed that part of the mask against your face.

The only downside to the mask is when you're taking it on and off. It takes a bit more time and you can't just pull it up and down quickly.

Product is awesome and does everything it promises! However, with a smaller face, I end up with the rubber piece resting on the bridge of my nose. It's a little bit annoying but not so much that I don't want to use it. Overall it is still better than other face wraps out there.

Honest reviews on ColdAvenger Pro Soft Shell Mask

I purchased this for my last ski trip to Tahoe. Typical conditions were in the 20's at the top. The mask did perform as advertised. The only problem I had with it was the condensation build up. There was quite a bit of moisture builds up on the inside. Other than that I was kept very warm and the wind did not bother me at all. You do look kind of funny wearing this thing. The one nice thing with this mask is that you can speak normally with out sounding muffled as compared to traditional masks. It does come with some foam that you can stick on the inside that will rest on the bridge of you nose. I felt it pinched my nose too much so I ended up taking it out. Also because the way that it vents the warm air, it does not fog your goggles.

I've been using the ColdAvenger Pro for recent outing, with mixed feelings.

First and most importantly, it does facilitate easy breathing in cold and windy conditions. It also has a fairly good contour that keeps it in position reasonably well.

There were two negatives in my case. The neck strap is not long enough for someone with a fairly large head and neck. I wear a 17 inch collar and have a wider than average face. I had to fight with the closure to get it to stay together because it is just too short for heads that aren't petit. I was totally unable to attach it over the top of a balaclava. This problem was solved by sewing on an extension to add a couple of inches of loop closure to one of the straps.

The other negative was the contour around the cheeks and eyes. In my case, the top bead of the mask kept intruding into my sightline and brushing my eye lashes. I repaired this by rolling the top edge down about 5/16 inch and stitching it in place. I did this over a distance of about two inches below the bridge of the nose.

So, it's now fully functional, and I'm looking forward to taking it out for some climbing and mountaineering adventures.

It took some hours of messing around to debug it, but I think it will work out well. I wish the manufacturer would have hit the range of American faces more into account rather than relying on the factory in China for the sizing and face shape. But it's a good idea despite needing some improvements.
