Customer Reviews: nos4a2666  (Friday, 04 February 2011) Rating: tested it in the huge blizzard we just had in illinois. worked like a charm. now i use it when i want to go out for a jog during the winter. looks cool to boot! ive heard some complaints that it might be too big for most people but i didnt have much of a problem. narbhanarbha1  (Tuesday, 25 May 2010) Rating: I'm not sure why I want another one. It will probably last 50 years, but I'm buying another ColdAvenger Expedition Balaclava because this is an awesome piece of gear I used when I summited McKinley. I never want to be without it on any of my "extreme trips". On a side note... It's really interesting seeing TV shows (some fiction, some not)that have people with frost-bitten facial parts- I'm convinced that if they were using this balaclava that this would not have happen. Too bad Beck Weathers didn't have one on Everest. rwong  (Thursday, 18 February 2010) Rating: I just received my regular size ColdAvenger Expedition and it's a perfect fit. Not too tight and not too loose. Can't wait to try it out in field conditions. Looks even cooler (pardon the pun) that I expected it would. A fantastic product. dave  (Wednesday, 17 February 2010) Rating: I LOVE this product. It has made my outdoor experience so much more radical. I would even go as far as to say that is has raised my level of awesomeness significantly!!
