Location: ontario | 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. | ||

Posts: 386 | 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. | ||

Posts: 120 | 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 seen other brands and simms could be it that are a different material more like the sun shirts. They could be good. 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 | ||

Posts: 41 Location: Rochester, MN | 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. | ||

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

Posts: 239 Location: Madison, WI | 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... | ||

Just remember to take the face part off when entering the bank, that will result in a silent alarm for sure. | |||

Posts: 1037 | 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. https://www.whatonearthcatalog.com/cgi-bin/hazel.cgi?ACTION=DETAIL&I... | ||
