THIN! I think this thickness is optimal.

Fairly common among racers over/up here. My daughter has used it (or similar) on speed practice a few times when the temperature has dropped.

I like my Smartwool neck thingies, have a thin one and a double layer one , really cold days have used Berts Bees lip balm on my nose, keeps it from freezing

I'm afraid of freaky looking clowns and the model for this product is getting very close to that place.

@Tricia , not that it matters, but the thread title has a typo (anit for anti) ...
Thanks for catching that. I guess my fingers typed faster than my brain could catch up

Hmmm, I wonder if this is essentially made from KT tape? Or if KT tape would do essentially the same thing? And they make a flesh colored version.

Surely if it's made from KT Tape it will also have the properties of curing the common cold or brain cancer by some mumbo jumbo woo science?

^absolutely not. The second woo is critical here.

BTW, I can't believe we're on the second page of this thread and no one's offered to build a facemask out of Legos.

I think that is what I'll get next and then modify it with a clear mouth opening. I just want to be able to keep my cheeks and nose from freezing. Any mouth covering has to to be clear from even a mesh as the moisture buildup happens quick and can't stand it. That gaiter looks like it can be pulled up and down very easy and would stay in place.

Maybe on race day if it's a speed event and it's cold enough. Other than that I don't think I would try it.
