Does the mouth breathing part freeze, making it hard to breath, in cold weather?

I've never had this happen, and I've used it at temperatures below zero. But, I suppose it depends. If you're using it in the Arctic or Antarctic, then it probably would freeze some what. I bet if you're not out too long it would work at temperatures around -10C to -15C for a long time. Colder than that, and it might begin to freeze over a bit. I would check out the manufacturer's specifications and make sure that whatever temperature you plan to use it in is within the spec range.

I have never had any problems like that. If anything you might develop a little bit on condensation but your breath will keep it warm or at least above freezing. I used this while commuting to work and back on my bicycle and all I noticed was a small amount of air restriction from the mesh itself and hardly any condensation.

Most definitely! I used it every day during the last 2 winter and it continuously froze up on me. It only occured during moments of HEAVY labor in 10*F

I have not had any issue with using it in cold water. I switch off between warm and cold.

I think it's only cold. I have not used it in a while, so I honestly don't remember

My never freezing up. But when it gets frozen over the top with hard snow. When I break the snow and ice off. The water is not frozen.

Not a problem. It works great in all weather. I live in Northern MN and it does get cold and it keeps working.

Hi Alan,I don't know. We never have cold weather here. It works fine in our shop, which seldom gets below 60 degrees.

Nope. Didn't notice anything. But I didn't keep it long enough because it didn't help me breath any easier because of the dry winter air.

Yes cold. But it's junk, only lasted me 2 months before it started to leak all over. Had to put it in the garbage.

It does suck in when I breathe in through my mouth. Got slightly warm. Depends on your environment too-- too hot and it may be not as comfy.

As far as i know it doesn't matter how cold it gets. Mine worked great in the lower teens.

In addition to the other suggestions, stand the unit upright in a climate controlled environment (72F+) for about an hour. This will address cold weather and over priming/choke related issues.

It does have an internal freeze protection circuit to keep things warm inside. The folks at Rinnai Customer Service are very helpful. They may be able to address arctic conditions.

I live in South Florida so freezing isn't an issue. I do not know if it will freeze. It is a fantastic product, works beautifully

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.

not too bad, but if you go in and out like I do they will. if you adjust it just right they won`t, you have to get use to breathing threw your noise with the air way on the mask, but they do sometimes, but it`s going to when you go from cold to warm all the time. it does help big time with cold air from hitting my noise and lips, I do like it way much better then the other ones I have had in the past.
