Skiing: Dr. Eric Heiligenstein, M.D., Quality Management and Outcomes Research, Univ. Wisconsin, wrote: "Compared to all other masks I have tried, your cold weather mask has numerous advantages to an athlete. The inhalation resistance was minimal even at a high level of exertion (90% maximum heart rate) and did little to impair performance. The silk/fleece combination makes your mask the only one I have used that does not become rapidly saturated with moisture from exhalation. It seems like the moisture was ‘wicked’ from the silk into the fleece allowing inhaled air to be humidified but keeping the mask dry against your face. One thing I have distinctly noticed is the warming effect of wearing the mask. I require less clothing as a result. During the recent cold period I was able to ski without problems at zero degrees or below. The cold weather mask reduces the cumulative effects of being exposed to cold air." [Great for spectators!]

"Just wanted to let you know what a great product you have. We just had our first snow storm and I had to clear the driveway. I am an asthmatic and I had no difficulty being out in the cold and snow. This mask has made my life a lot easier. Thanks again for a great product."  Tom Buczkowski, Silver Creek, New York

Goggles without fogging: A Canadian bicyclist wrote: "Riding a bicycle in winter is a challenge especially when it gets really cold and the wind picks up. To combat wind chill I like to wear as much face protection as possible including ski goggles. The trick is to prevent your goggles from fogging. I tested the cold weather mask with a pair of Smith Knowldge OTG ski goggles. The lens on this goggle has some kind of anti fog treatment. Other brands also have this feature. The OTG stand for over the glasses. (I need prescription glasses to see well) In any goggles/glasses combination it's always the inner glasses that start fogging first so you have to treat the glasses with some kind of anti fog liquid or cloth. (you can buy a cloth that Smith recommends directly from the company website for two bucks).

      Children love the cold weather mask: "My son Wally just loves his mask. Last year he had to be tutored and couldn't go to school. He wears the mask to go in and out of school. So far so good. He is usually sick with pneumonia by now. We owe it all to your cold weather mask. Again I say thank you." Lori Poupore Another parent reported that since her son has been wearing the mask he has had no hospital emergencies compared to 3 or 4 in prior winters.

        Three happy customers :)   1. "I'm a 57 year old man that does a 30 minute walk every morning in Northern California. I found that the morning cold air triggered my asthma. I tried one of those drugstore paper masks; though it did warm the air up, it also steamed up my glasses. I bought the I Can Breathe Cold Weather Mask hoping to stop the fogging on my glasses; properly adjusted it certainly did the trick. I also have a beard, and even with the beard my glasses did not fog up. I was so happy with the Cold Weather Mask, that I bought one as a gift for my ex-wife (who also has breathing problems) who lives in Montana.  Russ"    2. "Hello, I just received, washed and have tried out the Cold Weather Mask that I received as a gift. It is AWESOME! I now know why Russ was raving about his. Of course, now that my husband has seen mine, he wants one also. Many thanks and a special thank you for designing the PERFECT mask. Andrea"   3. And her husband Jim said: "This wonder of yours looks good, is comfortable, convenient, is well made and all in all you deserve some gold stars for helping so many people in need of it.  I can find no fault with your product and that is rare. "

        "I commute from Naperville to Chicago. My trip begins with a one mile walk from the house to the station. The cold weather mask was amazing. It retains the heat from the expired air and warms the incoming air. It was like being in a warm room the entire walk to the station. While I stood on the platform, perhaps looking a little goofy in my mask, the macho guys around me were in agony, suffering from the icy wind. Their faces were red and they were trying to pull their heads down inside their coats. I could stand up straight and look the wind in the eye." William R. Penrose, Ph.D., Illinois Institute of Technology

        "I have and will continue to strongly recommend your product to any person with a need for a cold weather mask," says Gerard Queenan, who loves winter sports but the cold irritates his lungs. While race walking for 45 minutes with the cold weather mask on he experienced no impediment to his breathing. "My glasses only fogged up when I stopped moving. I do highly recommend your cold weather mask, for basically any cold weather activity."

        "Thank you for creating your wonderful cold weather mask and for explaining to me it’s proper use for maintaining fog free eye glasses. I pinch and seal the mask above my nose then place my glasses on over the mask. I look forward to another Chicago winter of walking my dog fog free. Sincerely, Gayle Altur"   Note: Small fashionable glasses may not go over the mask. The above works with larger glasses.

        "Your winter face mask is by far the best I have ever used. It makes me feel comfortable and confident in the coldest weather, and is handsome to boot. Sincerely, Court Lawson"
