We use this helmet in a cold dry climate. When we stop we always pop open the face shield or the whole face or it will fog up. That's just kind of the way it is with helmets in general. When riding/moving their are no problems with fogging up. We use for snowmachining in Alaska. Use with a helmet liner in cold weather to be more comfortable.

works good as far as I know. had it out on a motorcycle last year for a little bit. But all visors fog a little and I don't care for the D rings. Hard to thread even in warm weather

I have never been on a snowmobile, but there is no question that it would be great protection from the wind. My question would be whether you need to breathe through your mouth or not. If you only need to breathe through your nose, then this balaclava would probably meet your needs. I ride a bicycle and I need a more open-faced balaclava so I can breathe through my mouth. I generally wear a ski mask with a hole for my mouth as well as one for my nose for cycling or running in cold weather.

I've used mine on known game trails and areas I've baited. I used it at bait sites to make sure I was getting the type animals at the bait that I wanted. I've used it in rainy weather with no problems but not in weather cold enough to produce ice. My thought is that it would work fine in cold weather as long as you used something to keep snow off the lens.

I haven't been in conditions that extreme. I have, however, used it on extremely hot race conditions with high humidity, etc., and have never had it fog.

I actually don't use any. It's a really good mask. I played all day with no fog.

I think you might be better off with an actual snowboarding helmet. This helmet has some padding, but not a lot. It also doesn't come down as low in the back and sides as a normal snowboarding helmet.

Just go buy some strong velcro. I got some at Home Depot. The helmet clips don't work well and are prone to break. I've been using the velcro for 2 years now and it's still working great.

Yes my 3.5 year old wears his with a balaclava and a scarf around his neck area and has never complained of being cold. The helmet is also good for 4 wheeling or similar wear.

its 1 layer fairly thick polyester fleece yet on the very front were your mouth, going down your chin and neck its laminate mesh that I would think would be pretty water resistant. I'm in MA and I've warm this while shoveling and snow blowing also and it does get about as wet as any fleece would yet I've never gotten wet through it even after an hour outside and when I do ride in the cold with it I but the arms of my glasses over it rather then going inside over my ears and that helps keep it snug. I like the idea of eh way the top is kinda adjustable as you can get more of a custom fit for how you want to wear the top, you can actually push it right off your head if you wanted.

I rode to work in AM WHEN IT was COLD!!!! I WAS WARM inside the helmet!!! I had to lift the visor a tiny bit when it started to fog up. this IS MY FAVORITE helmet OF ALL MY helmets!!!!!!!! MY hands froze tho! :-) The insulation seems thick to me.

I have not had any issues with my glasses or goggles getting foggy, but I use anti fog wipes, if it's rainy or cold. I like this mask, because it keeps me warm but not hot.

Robin M. answered it pretty well. I put it on our snowmobile helmets. It works pretty well. It is a little bit of static but for the price it can't be beat. Works very well even at 120 mph+

I use it for snowboarding with no problems and I don't have a problem with the gaper gap with it. However I had to get Goggle Grips for it so my goggles would stay put over them. Don't the they nay sayers detract you from this helmet. It's a solid buy. I use this helmet for biking, skateboarding and snowboarding. No need for extra helmets.

Oh I need to comment on Sauer. I am not sure he is talking about the same helmet. Ours is great constuction and I would highly recommmend it.

I would get some. I didn't personally play with this mask, bought it as an extra and my brother had a very bad experience with fog. So any drops recommended.

Eh... It depends. It would be great for hiking or being on foot in cold, windy weather. This question came at a good time. I just now walked through the door from a motorcycle ride. It's 12 degrees (F) here today. Around town, the product does very well. It's comfortable an my face stays warm. Above 40mph, the wind overcomes it and my face gets cold. I really love this thing, but if you're looking at sustained high/freezing winds, you may want something a bit more substantial.

Depends on what kind of glasses you are wearing, but as a general rule yes, they do fog easily (especially in cold weather). Just get a cheap bottle of Anti-Fog and wipe your glasses with it. That should solve your problem just fine.
