Anyone know what sun mask/buffs let you breathe nose covered without fogging out your sunglasses? I bought a couple cheap ones at cabelas but they are awful. If anyone got a brand/make that lets u breath without fogging glasses would be sweet thanks.

I believe the Buff brand ones have the vents. I just poked a few holes in mine around the nose/mouth and it works fine.

I have a couple of the buffs. I cant stand them. I think they are hot, uncomfortable, and yes my glasses fog with them. Maybe I should cut some air holes in them but I just wear a wide brimmed sun hat instead. Much more comfortable and cooler. I have seen other brands and simms could be it that are a different material more like the sun shirts. They could be good.

I have a fishhard brand that I think Keyes was putting out a few years back. Haven't had any issues with it.

I cut holes in mine to stop the fogging. I also take it off and dip it in the water when I get hot. Acts like a head and neck cooling system. There are two distinctly different fabrics that I've found. One is almost like a cotton t shirt and the other is more thin and stretchy. I wear the thin ones for summer

I have some from SA Co. but have the same issue with fogging . Im not a big fan of them when its hot out cuz i sweat and its just uncomfortable. Might try poking some holes like suggested.

I like Gillz because they have a mesh mouth hole that prevents fogging.

Simms makes a very good one with vents. It's also super light weight

All it takes is a small slit the width of your nostrils to eliminate fogging.

Honest question: why use a face mask instead of a long billed hat and wearing #99 sunblock?

Mostly because I hate wearing sunblock. This is just easier in my opinion. Plus they make you look waaaay cooler in this day and age.

Fleet Farm is advertising one whose features include some sort of breathing vent. Not cheap like some I have seen.

The columbia omni freeze buff is amazing for cooling off as well as blocking sun.
Just dump some water on it, give it a couple snaps, and it gets really cool. Wore mine pretty much every day last summer.

Like any performance fabric clothing it's actually cooler than uncovered skin. Also, as noted, sunblock sucks. Not sure about looking cool though...

That looks like it would work well, in particular the part that goes on a hat. Just remember to take the face part off when entering the bank, that will result in a silent alarm for sure.

I wear a face mask . I'm not into white cream going near my face.

I just ordered 2 Gillz masks. They look pretty nice. Got them from What On Earth (website) for $10. $14 off of retail from what I could see.
Sorry for the long link, but here it is.

I have the FishHard sun scarf and the Blackfish coolcore gaiter and they both fog up my glasses.... I see they are both said to work great.... I guess Im doing something wrong then, b/c they both fog my lenses
happy hooker
