The name is interesting, and the product is at the top of its class! Who am I talking about? It’s Wrong Gear people (keep up!).
Just now rolling into their second season, Wrong Gear actually has a pretty impressive story… one that would be lost on you if I tried to re-word it myself. So, I’m going to let them dance the dance:
I’ve had the pleasure of trying on a couple of styles from the dudes at Wrong Gear. While I won’t be able to give their warmer gear a real test until we head up into the white-capped mountains after the first of the year… I absolutely can talk about comfort, ease-of-wear and style.
The first of the two masks I wore is the Warrior Mask ($25 ), a design “deeply inspired by the Shemagh Arabian head scarf to bring the WARRIOR out in you!!!“. Aside from looking like a bandit running around the house… this mask is siiiiiiiick!!!! Designed for the slightly warmer climate than its brothers, the Warrior mask sits nicely over the nose, with no sag, due to the contour fit. Featuring a velcro closure at the back for easy attaching and adjusting, and no bunching under your hat or beanie. I can almost picture myself flying down a steep hill on my bike, gliding down the slopes or robbing the 1st National Bank & Trust… all without the unnecessary stress off my face being frozen or exposed. With a 100% cotton fabric you’d think this might be a little uncomfortable or difficult to breathe through… but Wrong Gear’s exceptional design actually places a polyester mesh in the nose area, which wicks away moisture and allows you to breathe without any extra effort.
The second mask I was able to try out is the Indulge Mask ($30). Similar to its bro the Warrior in many ways… the Indulge is shorter in profile and sports a little more design flare. Inspired by warmer scarfs, the Indulge offers the warmest protection for those really cold and snowy days. 100% Acrylic/Polyester.
Either design would not only keep my face warm and toasty out on the slopes or bike-trail… it would also make all of the other slope wannabees jealous as hell over my badass style! Functionally it’s important to say that these masks can effortlessly be dropped down around your neck bandito style for easy talking, eating, tonsil hockey, etc. and simply pulled back up to keep you warm again. Their brilliant design stays put, regardless of your activities. If you spend just 1 weekend a year on the hillside (or are like me and had to walk to school every day… up hill, both ways, in the snow) this is seriously worth your consideration.
