Awesome balaclava!The ventillation through the mesh nose vent is excellent. I've had far fewer problems with fogging goggles with this balaclava than I have with others that I've tried. The mesh screen helps to keep the vent open and positioned correctly in front of your nose.
If it starts to get warm, it's very easy to unfasten the velcro wrap and swing the face mask behind your head, as depicted in the illustration above. The next best thing would be to be able to remove the face wrap completely. That's available in the OR WS Gorilla Balaclava.
All in all, I'm very happy with the Baffin Balaclava.
