I have asthma, and we are currently in the midst of a long spell of freezing temperatures with sub-zero wind chills, and periods of snow every day. It's been brutal. I bought this some time ago, and since my scarf keeps falling off my nose, I decided to give it a try. It works real well. Mind you, it's not fashionable. I look like I'm going to rob the bank. (I don't wear it into stores), but it's kept me breathing warm air, while I'm trying to scrape ice off my windshield. The elastic keeps it in place, and that's a plus. I've been wearing it, even after the car warms up. It's turned out to be a good buy; I'm going to pick up a spare.

The mask is lined with plastic which becomes hard when it gets cold, making it very difficult to breathe. It also doesn't stay on very well, so if you turn your head, it doesn't stay on your face. I've gone back to just using a good scarf and am getting better results.

I ordered this product for my husband since he is a heart patient and this winter has had more problems with being outdoors at all in the cold. He gets chest pain when the arteries constrict while breathing cold air. It seems to work well! He has had good results with being able to be outdoors for limited amounts of time while using the mask. It advertises to "warm the air" as you breathe and it seems to do just that.

Well, i ordered this mask recently. It is not serving the purpose it said. This mask is not able to warm the air. Also, it moisten my eye glasses. I think a muffler will serve the same purpose as this mask. Not worth buying.

I bought a fleece mask like this one from icanbreath.com . It works well for lite exercise like walking in cold weather, but not for running because the air does not flow freely enough and I found myself fighting the mask to get in air.
