Honestly, I have such a mask for walking the dog, but I've been told that at 6ft, 240lbs if I wear it (its black) and I'm seen running at night in old sweats....the police will be getting phone calls from concerned neighbors along my route.

So, I think, unless your 6 feet tall or taller, or you wear all black at night......your all set.

Hi -

I live in Massachusetts where it is snowing right now!!   I wear a Seirus brand facemask - below is a link.  I call it my "ninja mask" but it works GREAT in blizzards!

Happy running!

I run with a Psolar.X face mask when it gets to be sub-zero. It has a filter that warms the air as you breathe in so that you never have freezing air hitting your lungs. I have the half-facemask, but I'd recommend the balaclava if you can get it. The half-facemask stays up by hooking over your ears, which doesn't work too well for me.

The mask is incredibly effective -- I ended up overheating a few times while running with it! The other problem I've experienced is that sometimes the air I exhale ends up sneaking out behind the mask and hitting my eyes. Before long, I'm fighting to keep my eyes open as my eyelashes freeze together. I find it amusing, but I'm weird that way.
