"Amazingly comfortable and light and yet very easy to breathe through with the shape of the face around the front being curved. I’m so happy with this."
"I am an Agricultural Engineer working in oil palm agriculture in a tropical humid climate in Colombia, with intense sun exposure, very high humidity and temperatures above 36°C [96,8°F]. The Balaclava Face Mask UPF 50+ feels lightweight, breathable and much more comfortable than expected in hot conditions. I especially like the neck coverage and facial protection while working outdoors for long hours. The fabric feels soft on the skin and does not feel excessively hot even under strong sunlight. This is one of the few sun protection products that truly seems designed for real outdoor field conditions and prolonged exposure in tropical environments. Highly recommended for agriculture, hiking, fishing and outdoor activities in hot and humid climates."
"Fits my parntner well, initially slight difficulty with glasses and maintaining good peripheral vision. Readjusted and seems good . Yet to wear when sailing. Probably have to take hood part off will update when he has done same"
"The quality in material is very good, it is true to size and I bought this balaclava because it covers almost my entire face and neck from harmful sun exposure on my skin. I wear this with my Solbari sun hat to try to give extra sun protection. There is a small opening to allow for air, however, the material tends to still suction to my nose and blocks air when I am breathing. I end up having to lower the balaclava just below my nose so I can breathe outside in extreme heat."
"I spend a lot of time in the sun, camping and am an avid bird watcher. We gout to regional Queensland at lot and have suffered from skin damage. Our dermatologist suggested wearing a snood. I looked for some time and found this snood that fits my needs and appears to a great protection from damaging sun damage."
"Absolutely adore this piece, properly fits!"
"I need full facial and neck coverage when kayaking. It’s really the only way for me to get good protection from the reflected glare from the water surface. I wear it under my big Solbari sun hat and I feel confident that I’m well protected. If I feel a bit claustrophobic / warm in it or want to have a conversation, I can easily move it / manipulate it out of the way. This level of protection is important for me as I’ve had a melanoma removed in the past."
"I really like this one, especially if you have long hair having hole to put your ponytail is good. it secure the position, and tidy."
"Really nice cooling fabric"
"The order was easy efficient and received in good time. The fabric is fantastic in every way however the fit was not so user friendly. The gap area around the eyes was to large for my face."
