Face mask that doesn't fog up goggles

Do they exist?

Passholders want to know.

Outdoor Research Ubertube essential lightweight has been perfect for me, 8 days in. One storm day, it did get waterlogged, but still no fogging. https://www.outdoorresearch.com/us/p...49?cat=419,224

Pretty sure there's a whole thread somewhere?

The answer seems to be yes, no, or maybe:

Same experience for me. Highly recommend. Will continue to use after COVID

Wasn't calling him out, just pointing him to the goods.

And the search function still sucks.

Didn’t think you were. It’s nice to see young Patrick around again and fun to flip shit to a long timer. And everyone really.

By now our young AKPM must be all grown up

The lightweight ubertube not the mid weight? If it works, I’m in

Does the OR ubertube need the filters to be worth a damn? Or does it have a couple of layers/isn't see through and can be used just fine (ie is worth wearing) without filters?

It's double layered and not see through even without a filter. I am not a medical expert enough to comment on how well it works. It breathes really well without the filter (which I guess mean's its not as functional?).

Can you blow out a candle while wearing it? Easy pass/fail test when no data is available.

Just got a couple ubertubes in the mail today, looks like a decent setup for stealing fresh tracks like a boss

Seirus magnetic neoprene mask seems to work pretty good. It has structure and air holes to vent properly.

That thread is mired down with dumb debates and such. Figured tech talk was more appropriate.

Needs to be tight around the nose. Either with a piece of malleable metal in there, tape, or form fitting.

Medical professionals have been wearing safety glasses and surgical masks for decades and have figured it out.

In warm environments and while at mostly low levels of physical effort.

Which is great for skiing. Not so much for limiting the spread of a virus.

Actually, sometimes scrambling pretty hard. Try swapping of on compressions for 20 minutes.
But, even so, it takes a bit of experimentation to find combos that work.

The risk of contracting COVID while outside in an open environment while maintaining social distancing is low. It's transmitted via water droplets, and when you're outside the air flow is much higher than you would indoors. Unless someone is COVID positive and breathing right in your face, I doubt you would contract it.

Plus its basically just the flu anyways, right?

Anyway, back to the task at hand.
My review of the Blackstrap Hood balaclava from the thread in S/S

The Hood balaclava is not fit for purpose as a lift line mask. When worn over the nose, excess moisture from exhaling gets trapped in the fabric and then wicks to the cape of the balaclava. Result - after a couple of hours you are skiing around with a thin damp cloth around your neck.

I’ve tried layering it several ways, from underneath the base layer to over the top of a vest. Result is the same - too much moisture trapped by the fabric, and your neck and shoulders end up clammy.

I wanted to like this mask - Blackstrap is local and do good stuff in the community. But, as the Blackstrap CSR told me, it’s not designed to be worn over the nose. And I’m not gonna fuck around trying to pull the thing over the nose with less-than-dexterous-as-fuck gloves while coming into the lift maze.

On a positive note, goggles do not fog when worn over the balaclava.

Maybe their Expedition Hood works better. Although another maggot has this one and sez it traps a lot of moisture too...

I’ve got an OR mask coming - will see how that works
