Skiing and snowboarding require cold, often elevated environments, with increased exposure to factors such as wind and dangerous UV radiation. This necessitates sports face masks coverings with thermoregulation, moisture-wicking properties, enough coverage, and UV protection.

The Z9H is a superb face cover for cold weather, with all of the outstanding features of the Z5H plus the EX-HALE anti-fog upgrade as an option. The EX-HALE is an outbranching exhaust pipe that allows you to breathe freely without obstructing your view.

While the EX-BONE and the mask's adjustable nose clip do a wonderful job of preventing fogging on its own, the EX-HALE module may help them out even more, effectively putting an end to foggy goggles for good. The mask, like the Z5H, comes in a variety of attractive colors and features a zipper over the breathing gear for as much ventilation as you desire, as well as cutting points for letting your hair down.

If you're looking for something more durable to keep you warm in colder conditions, the X9 snowboarding neck warmer is your best bet. "If you're spending a day on the mountain, you're going to want to be comfortable, and dry," David of 'Trail and Summit' says. The X9 dries quickly and regulates your body temperature, keeping you in good shape. 

The X9's warm, windproof X-Fiber fabric is another characteristic that makes it an excellent gaiter for skiing and snowboarding. This honeycomb-knit compression fabric is made to tolerate frequent movement while still suiting your form and remaining robust.

Its under-eye stitching protects you from irritation without obstructing your vision, allowing you to wear it for longer periods of time. Additionally, the N9H features tension distribution bands in its weave, which help maintain temperature and fit, while also being very customizable.

The N1 is an excellent choice for people who require a lighter ski neck gaiter to maintain a comfortable temperature during long, intense rides. The unpleasantness of heat alone lowers athletic performance, as one study on cycling in hot and humid situations has demonstrated. The N1, on the other hand, has UV protection up its sleeve. Sunlight reflected off ice and snow, especially at higher elevations, affects not just the eyes but also the skin. So choose a mask like the N1 to keep your face healthy. 

The Alpine Responsibility Code emphasizes the importance of maintaining your gear in good working order and securely fastened to your person. The balance of cold exposure and metabolic heat production, which has an impact on performance and health, is also important. NAROO can't protect you from every danger, but our winter sports masks will certainly take care of a lot of your concerns.
