BLACKSTRAPKids The Hood Dual Layer Cold Weather Neck Gaiter and Warmer for Children

Does a good job at keeping you warm

Bought it for chilled Tahoe weather skiing and my daughter loved it. It helped her a lot even in snow storm weather.She loved the bright colors.

Amazing- great during ski trip. Kept them warm and dry.

Bought this for my son when he was 3 and it still fits him at age 5. He LOVES it and it has been warm enough to keep him comfortable from Tahoe to Whistler.

We bought 3 kids and 2 adult sizes of these. We also bought 4 over-the-helmet (OTH) style face mask hats. Comparing the warmth of each, the OTH was actually cooler in some ways because there was room for my helmet to vent. However, these were cooler on the neck and face because they aren't insulated. These fit snug enough that our kids kept the face mask part up. For myself, the mask part kept falling below my nose. The OTH mask was easier to keep up because I could pull it up over my goggles. We planned to use these when in closer contact with teachers and the OTH kind when we had more social distance since they are warmer and more comfortable (soft). The kids' OTH sometimes didn't fit as well, especially if they were playing in the snow without a helmet. The Blackstrap hats did get wet from snow and the heat/vapor from our mouths/noses. They didn't dry quickly and remained wet for a long time. This was also true of the soft OTH type face masks but those had more material to absorb the moisture so it was less noticeable. We found the thicker over-the-helmet hoods were good at wiping up kids' snot ( it just magically "disappeared"). Overall, we will wear them again when it's the right situation. My daughter and I both preferred the OTH soft types. The three boys preferred this type. Both are better than the ones with nose and mouth holes which weren't allowed as face masks at the ski resort we were at. They did pass the candle test, as long as I didn't stretch the material too much. I was a little worried about this when I first tried it, but after wearing them for a day the material was actually looser on my face and not as stretched out.
