The Funny Ski Mask, Scored: 8 Checks Before We’d Sell It.
Warmth, wind, helmet fit, fog, the print after a wash, the eye slot, sizing and the price. Each scored out of 10 by the people who sell it — and we’ve left the low scores in.
Verdict: a real balaclava that happens to be funny. Buy one if it’s for you. Buy three if there’s a crew, a trip or a gift exchange in your winter. Skip it if you need a technical fit in sizes.

The scorecard
- Warmth9/10
Thin windproof stretch knit over the whole face and neck. Same job as the plain black balaclava.
- Wind9/10
Nothing gets through the knit; the gaiter closes the gap at the collar.
- Under a helmet and goggles9/10
The print is in the fabric, so it’s no thicker than a plain balaclava. Goggles and sunglasses sit over the open slot.
- Breathing and fog8/10
Breathes well. Less fog than neoprene or fleece if you breathe out through the mask, not up into the lens.
- The print after washing9/10
Printed into the knit, not stuck on. Stretches without cracking. Cold wash, air dry.
- The eye slot7/10
A regular open ski-mask slot. On some faces it sits a touch high until you tug it down. After that you forget it.
- Sizing6/10
One stretch size, adults and teens. Snug rather than loose on a very big head, and that’s the lowest score here.
- Price9/10
$19.99 a face, under every Secret Santa cap. All three for $44.99, which makes the third one $5.01.
We sell this mask. The scores are ours, not an independent lab’s — which is exactly why the 6 and the 7 are still on the page.

Where it loses points
Sizing (6/10). One stretch size pulls on over most heads, but a very big head gets snug, not loose. The eye slot (7/10). It sits a touch high on some faces until you tug it down. Not scored, but you should know: there are three faces and no custom version; the Smoker has a cigarette in the print; and it’s a novelty outdoor mask, not protective equipment.
One or three?
| You order | You pay | Per face |
|---|---|---|
| One face | $19.99 | $19.99 |
| Two faces | $39.98 | $19.99 |
| All three (one of each) | $44.99 | $15.00 · third face $5.01 |
If it’s for you alone, one is the honest answer. If there’s a crew, the three-pack is the better buy, and the photo of the three grandpas is the group-chat icon by lunch.

Quick questions
Will the print crack or peel?
No. The face is printed into the fabric rather than stuck on, so it stretches with the mask. Wash cold and air-dry to keep it sharp.
Does it fog glasses or goggles?
The fabric breathes, so most people get far less fogging than with neoprene or fleece. Breathe out through the mask rather than up into the lens.
What size is it?
One stretch size for adults and teens. Pulls on over most heads; snug rather than loose on a very big one.
Shipping and returns?

Straight talk: novelty outdoor mask, not protective equipment. Not for anywhere face coverings aren’t allowed.
