Tyler Silvestri's review
As we're bombing down the mountain, laying first tracks, the Solid Hood Balaclava shields our face from the chapping wind. At the end of our run, we use the lens-safe fabric to wipe the powder off our goggles. This face mask might be washer- and dryer-friendly, but the odor-fighting tech lets us put off washday.
