Why the "after" works

Costume masks hide everything, so a brain files them under "mask" and moves on. This one has a regular open ski-mask eye slot — nothing in front of your eyes — so a stranger sees a wrinkled old face with your eyes looking out of it. That's the double take. And because the face is printed into a thin windproof stretch knit, it's a real balaclava underneath: helmets, goggles and sunglasses go over it, it pulls down to a gaiter, it washes cold.

Before you order

One stretch size. Pulls on over most heads; snug rather than loose on a very big one. Novelty outdoor mask, not protective equipment — the view is what it is in any ski mask; some people tug the slot down the first time. Not for anywhere face coverings aren't allowed. The Smoker has a cigarette in the print; for a kid or a workplace pick Mustache or Toothless Smile.

The whole lift line lost it. Wore the Mustache on the chairlift and the whole lift line lost it. Genuinely warm too — my face was the only one not frozen at the top. Bought the three-pack for my brothers before I'd taken it off.

Great mask, sits a touch high until you tug it. Print is sharper than I expected and it fits under my helmet and goggles. The eye opening sits a touch high on me until I tug it down, then you forget it's there. Strangers waved all day.

Best $45 I've spent on Christmas. Got the three-pack for my husband and his two brothers. They opened them at the same time and the photo of the three grandpas is now the family group-chat icon.

Quick questions

Is it actually warm?

Yes. Underneath the print it's a real outdoor balaclava — windproof, warm and breathable, the same job as the plain black one.

Can I see out of it?

Yes — a regular open eye slot, not a lens or a mesh. Goggles and sunglasses go over the top.
