Good OR product
I like this balaclava better than the Sonic version. The thing they have in common is the poor fit around the mouth. This causes vapor and condensation on my glasses. I am going to have my wife try some custom sewing to aleviate this. Hopefully this works.

Poor fit
The only positive thing - it's warm (but there are other balaclavas/combinations which give at least the same warmth and work much better).
If you look for a similar product, a combo of a face mask and a cap works much better (the OR face mask in contrary is a nice piece of gear).
The name rocks though:) - you look indeed like a gorilla when wearing this balaclava!

No Bad
I like this a lot. It fits me fine, but I have a smaller head. You have to practice putting it on in the mirror a few times to get a feel for where to put the Velcro attachments. It stops the wind and keeps you super warm!

Not a Great fit..The reason is that, although it is very warm, it is not very comfortable to wear it.
The nose mask, does not fit very well and it is a little difficult to breath.
I now use a combination of a neoprene face mask and a OR Windstopper skull cap, it work much better....
