I am actually looking for a mask that doesn't let cold air in my nose. Is the nose area of this mask (black) open or is it closed?

Yes the nose area is open but I experiance no cold air because the opening is very narrow & the mask is designed to cover the sides of your nose. I'm outside for 8hrs at a time 20 degree weather. works for me.

When I zoom in, this mask looks to have a nose opening just like the one I ordered of a different color and pattern.

Not sure. The seal one doesn't cover your nose. It's very light and comfortable and seals very easily.

Open-- that's mostly how you see out of the mask (though the nostril holes are open too).

No, my husband doesn't like it to cover his mouth. They do carry one (on Amazon) that covers both the nose and the mouth which is the type I use. Hope this helps you.

I don't wear glasses so I don't know. However, today was a very cold day with a bit of a wind. It gets a bit hard inhaling since there's no opening for the nose.

I wasn't sure, so I read the box. I actually like that it is a cool temperature. This is filled with ergoBeads (specially designed plastic beads). There is no mention of warming the mask; the box does mention 'freeze in sealed freezer bag for maximum relief'.

I have a small nose and the nosepiece acted like a window for light. The mask was completely ineffective at blocking light for me. However, I had no problem returning it. Little noses, this may not be for you.

I can fit my mouth and nose at the same time. It's got a little cut out to rest your nose on that works perfectly. The bigger mask is to steam your whole face I believe.

It has been good to not have to wrestle with the hose -- such an easy solution and in expensive too. I have heard of a pillow that allows you to have room for your mask that helps, they are more expensive and I've not purchased. I did switch from a mask to a nasal pillow and that is much better and a lot less confining. Bless you and I hope this will be a great benefit to you.

Are you asking about a child's face or an adult's? For an adult, I'd say that the flange around the mask is soft enough and deep enough to fit most faces, but I'm not an expert on this, just a user. My previous experience is limited to SCUBA diving masks and the Army M17A1 gas mask. You might want to search the internet to see if there are any dive outlets near your location, where you can try on different gear.

I've found no problem with breathing in this mask... I believe the slightly larger holes on the mouth area are designed for allowing easier air flow. hope this helps :)

The opening does not fully zip shut. There is a hood that extends from the bottom side of the bivy that lays under the over lapping top half and the two are held in place with a Velcro tab. The over lapping pieces drain water away from opening. Since the bivy does not fully zip close It is easy to breath so long as you are comfortable with a fabric draped over of very near to your face. I have not experienced condensation.

I made the mistake of ordering L/XL it's too big , the face part is wind proof and has a nice mesh over your nose and mouth ( easy to breathe) the rest is not wind proof but warm . I should have ordered the S/Med one . I'll keep this one and modify it . The neck part is nice and long keeps the cold out nicely.

I agree with the others. I have used this mask since 2003. I really love it. I found that the one that cover the mouth and nose, would actually cause my teeth to feel loose. Not good at all. I also use this with a chin strap to get the most out of it.

I seldom use a mask unless I am indoors and there is no ventilation. Usually, I spray outdoors with the wind at my back. That works well with me.

Yes I keeps your ears warm it's great, but there is a problem of fogging up your glass. I do wear glasses and it happens a lot when your outside in the cold. I have been thinking of making two holes at the noses allow my breath to escape.
